Yes, if the man is Steve Tourek, son of Charles Tourek, all-star athlete and scholar, and grandson of Charles Tourek, Democratic superstar of the 30's and 40' s. The youngest Tourek, a graduate of Sibley high School in Minneapolis and summa cum laude from Dartmouth, found a planned career to football shot down when a knee Injury knocked him out of the box.

"I've seen close friends wrecked when they lost," he said. "You spend six months preparing for it and it's over to 20 minutes.

Yet, If you win, there's a tremendous elation before it's over. But then, it is over, and you're an everyday Joe again. In boating circles years after, you're asked two questions: 'Were you a and 'Did you win?" He explained that the Cambridge-Oxford rivalry goes back to 1829. "If you lose, you're sometimes branded as a loser for life. If you win, you can many times expect a good job offer.

I think I could have stayed in England and been sure of getting a good job, but my wife, Ann, and I decided that it was time to come back." Now bis legal career is all Important, and the days of rowing have been put behind him. Still, his thoughts often return to bis days behind the oar. He of ten thinks be might be able to find someone else to row with aa a pair. He has remained fit and trim, and it would not take much to go back. HE COMES from a long-line of athletes and people on the move.

His father, Chuck, a Morton East High School graduate with a straight A average, went on to play topflight basketball at Northwestern University, becoming captain of the team as a result. He also starred in baseball and was center on the football team. Grandpa Charles, on the other band along with the late "Judge" Frank Pavek, put together one of the biggest, strongest and most respected political machines in the area the Berwyn Democratic Organization which controlled the city for many years. Known for his honesty and intregrity, the township clectoTandreau-wr. He 'resided in Berwyn until a few years ago upon the death of his wife, Albie.

He now lives with son Charles who is a senior executive with Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing. Another son, Robert, is in toe wholesale food business in Grand Rapids, Mich. AL squad needs field Can anyone out mere give the Cicero American Legion baseball team a home? That's the question being asked by manager Russ Spirek as his team enters this season. The Cicero Legion nine has played home games on the Fencel Field diamond behind Morton East High School. However, the field is being resodded this summer and is off limits.

TWICE HE was a member of the crew team that whipped Oxford, Cambridge's tr tditional opponent, In The Boat Race, the race of races when it comes to these two schools. "I don't know how to explain it," Steve told the St. Paul Pioneer Press to a recent article. "I guess rowing at Cambridge is much like playing football at Southern Cal. Rowing to The Boat Race is comparable to playing in the Rose Bowl." He liked rowing the first time he tried it, and lettered three years to it while a member of the Dartmouth varsity crew.

He even went on to be captain of the team his senior year. From there it was Cambridge and wins on top of wins in such prestigious races as the Prince Challenge Cup in the Henley Royal Regatta. He was made president of the Cambridge Boat Club. A real enthusiast for the oar, he noted that "I've played all kinds of sports, but rowing is the most physically demanding by far. I'd have to regard it as the ultimate athletic experience.

There's nothing quite like it." HE WAS critical of The Boat Race in that Britishers put too much stock into it, everytime it was his turn, something would happen to him," Hahn explained. Morton opened the scoring in the third when Tom Janda walked, stole second, went to third on Ed De Rosa's sacrifice bunt, and an out later came in on Wayne Bucek's single. The Falcons increased the lead to 2-0 in the fourth. Steve Skolarz led off with a double. Ken Casaletto followed and laid down a bunt.

Chuck Branson, the Willowbrook hurler, tried to nip Skolarz at third, but his throw went past the bag, and the Morton first baseman trotted home. Willowbrook broke on the scoreboard in their half of the fourth. Olie Anderson walked, stole second, went to third on a wild pitch, and completed the circuit on Bob Boebinger's grounder to second. THE FALCONS got that run beck in the fifth when De Rosa doubled scampered to third on an errant pick-off attempt, and crossed the plate on John Svetich's ground out to third. Ward, who had only walked one man in the first five innings, suddenly lost it in the sixth and walked two men which were sandwiched around a force out.

Hahn took him out and put in Bill Zouvis. Another walk and an error tod to two Willowbrook runs and a tie game. West broke the tie in the seventh when with two outs De Rosa walked, stole second, and scored on Svetich's double. But Willowbrook came back to send the game in overtime. Their rally also Spirek said he inquired about using one of the fields at main diamond was also being Morton West, but was resodded and that the league teams Roger Hahn's crew ended its season Monday by downing Willowbrook 5-4 in eight innings.

The victory marked the Falcons third in a row in DesPlaines Valley League play, their fourth four out of the last five in the DPV, and eighth in 10 games counting tournament play. Despite losing 10 of its first 12 games this season, Hahn's Falcons finished with a 10-13 mark and went 5-11 in DPV play. And, according to the coach, there's better things to come in the future. "I'M VERY encouraged for next year," Hahn said. "We have a good nucleus coming back.

The sophomore team is playing around .500, but they have some very fine people." The Falcons' slow start, of course, disappointed Hahn. "We could easily have been 11-5 in the league, but we beat ourselves in many games because of errors the team made 51 in its 23 games," be said. "We hit well, and the pitching was good. One of those who Hahn expects to propell the team next season is sophomore Scott Ward who started Monday's game and hurled what his coach said were five and a third good innings. "I WANTED to pitch him more, but it seemed like had preference lor The coach went ontosftthaMf no field is found, bis team gaifcsai the road.

The Cicero team will have to play an its started with two outs. Tom Rowley, who replaced Branson as Willowbrook's pitcher in the sixth, singled, and Branson, who went to the outfield, walked. The Willowbrook coach had both men running, and while Branson was caught in a rundown between first and second, Rowley crossed the plate with the tying run. BUT MORTON was not to be denied. Bob Fako and Nick Piornack walked.

Taking a page from the opposing coach, Hahn had both men running. As the throw went to second, in an attempt to nail Piornack, Fako continued around third and made it across the plate. "We should have won the game on three different occasions," Hahn said, adding that some questionable calls by the umpires prolonged the affair. As for next year, most of Hahn's offensive leaders will be back. Among them is Svetich who tod the team to four categories hits (23), average runs batted in (18) and doubles (eight) -and shared the lead in triples (two) with Janda and Bucek.

De Rosa, a senior, led the team in runs scored with 16, walks with 17 and stolen bases with nine. He bit .317. JANDA, WHO hit .308 but was guilty of 13 errors at shortstop, Pironack, who hit .283 and shared the team lead in homeruns with Bucek as they both hit two, and Jim Ritz, clean-up man who saw his average tumble to .282 after a late-season slump, are being counted upon by Hahn to lead the team next year. Skolarz, a senior who hit .286 while playing first base, led the mound corps to starts (nine), innings pitched (52 13) and strike-outs (67). He and Zouvas each posted four wins, although Skolarz lost five times while Zouvas tost but twice.

Zouvas, also a senior, had the best earned-run-average, a 1.98 over the 42 13 innings he worked Andy Krzanik, a Junior who figures to be Halm's ace next year, shared the toad with Skolarz as each its schedule. has 12 home games on plays an av Spirek said the team erage of two home games per week during the season. uames start at 6 p.m. Anyone who has a lead on a ile field which the Legion iboul team can call home for this year call Spirek between 8 a.m. and 4: 15 p.m.
