Tough Crete-Monee guard Pete Schloss has been mainstay in Warrior defense this season, and will be in Crete line again Friday afternoon when Coach Jess Vail’s outfit greets Tinley Park. Game was recently rescheduled from Hallowe’en evening to 3 p.m., following a 1 o’clock frosh-soph contest.Bv STEVE MODZELEWSKICrete-Monee and the Chicago Bears now have a commor denominator — six straight losses.This unsophisticated achiev-ment has been Crete's major preoccupation since September 20 — when the six-game losing streak began with a 40-12 defeat at the hands of TF South.The Warriors opened the season proudly with a 12-0 win over Momence, but the rest of the action has been a downhill slide.CRETE-Monee has only one opportunity left to stop its dismal series of defeats. The Warriors will host Tinlev Park in*the last grid engagement of the autumn Friday in an afternoon contest.Originally, the game had been scheduled for 8 p.m. Friday, but it was sw itched to a 3 p.m. kickoff time when Crete athletic director Bob Cervak learned that police could not provide patrolmen for crowd control if the contest was played Hallowe’en night.Cervak said that the frosh-soph contest will begin at 1 p.m. Friday. Tinley and Crete will both dismiss students in time to attend the frosh-soph and varsity games.One Crete-Monee student isn't going to be especially pleased with the early dismissal, howeverBRYAN Boettger will get towatch the game from the sidelines Friday, but he was hopingto add a few more vards to his*passing record instead.Boettger. Crete's starting quarterback for the past two years, was knocked out of action last Saturday during the Hillcrest contest and is reported to have suffered ashoulder separation.Though if he had to go out that way. Bryan picked a classy way to exit. Boettger was at his best against Hillcrest — gaining 301 of Crete’s 310 total yards.The Warrior quarterback tossed 38 passes, hitting on 17. Boettgers aerials gained 232 yards and he added 69 more yards to that total by carrying the ball himself eight times.COACH Jess Vail will startigfog.• KRex Jones, a 5-8 junior, in Boettger s place. Jones has seen limited action this season, but Vail is confident about his capabilities — calling Jones a “thinking quarterback.’’All Crete can gain by dumping Tinley Park — besides a little encouragement for next year — is a share of theSoutheast Suburban conference’s cellar.The Titans have a 1-5 record for SES battles this fall, while the Warriors sport a “perfect” 0-6 slate. A \ ictory for Crete means a tie for last place withTinlev.♦Vail was unhappy, of course, about the loss to Hillcrest, buthe analyzed the results reah-sticallv.“HILLCREST was hot.” Vail said. “They hurt us on a few-long runs, and then ground us out.“But we are so weak in certain spcits, and we don't have much speed. That's why we had Bryan work on a shotgun offense. We were committed to the pass, so if you have to use it the quarterback might as well be backed up so he has time tothrow.”WarriorsIotal pointsi MOpp1 II si doW !lv1 o|;i 1 \ a i da m*141» IV|l*\ pasMttgs 1 0list.H\ rushitti*Ii-4,%MiMattempted1 IIIlt; omplrlrd III tile rplrd b\liUit\ art!* penalizedtinIU MIIM,1Ml\ tU.\veTa v lor♦**»*1'* * *'ihf.tM1sttHarst'NinlSnlliv ani:all2.tt.lours9'ItJ sPal met\1O 11*\11 lt;ninp\ ds Ini.tit1 tort tiger I Mi 71SIMv»lours 7 1«*As0l‘ \NS HI 1 K IV INI,1It ftd \ds1 ItMi I otn'4 *» 4H 1 tlISucii14ItiO11 a vlot*»ml1siilh\ an♦»71Il*2i IntelSS71(1II.it se\tM1Mrltr!W1*StIl.ll s| \111 I* \ 1t l»11*Hortti»rr:i iIf!'Millhati• iItif a \ 11 m2 li\2'•111 oI itt.Mi lt;otfi1 n*v
