From this point on, it was all Grinnell. The Pioneers held a id to l2 point lead the remain. der or the game and were never seriously threatened. Only two arinuell players scored in double figures.

THREE GEINNELL PLAYERS reached double figures. Miitlin scored 18 points, Gar Smith scored 14 points, and John Sun< (lell»sc01'ed ll points. Both games were marked with poor ball handling by Grinnell and this {actor contributed hea’w ily to the inconsistent shooting. The oil slv‘e patterns lacked the sha ess and coniidcnce that Grinncll tans have become accustomed to seeing. The fast breaks were missing, as were the frequent key passes under the basket. Houever, thc deicnsive games played by St_ Olai and Carleton can not be underestimated. Against Carleton, the Pioneers faced a tight zone which lorced the ball to the outside, keeping most oi the shots outside the liiteen ioot mark. The etlectite- ness oi this zone was evidenced by the shooting percentage of the Pioneers. In the filst hall, Glilinell hit only 7- 44 Shots or 15% of shots attempted. GRIHNELI . r R h n sundgll G.
