‘\ SCARLET AND MACK Friday, November 20, um Grinnell Pioneer makes valiant lunge, during the last game of the season .si ast Saturday. With this victory over St. Olaf, the Pioneers tied for fourth place in the conference with Beloitl Olaf Defeated In Final Game . Pete Staben The Grinnell Pioneers ended ‘ the 1964 season with an impres- sive 28710 victory over the Lions of St, Olaf. Led by four teen seniors, Coach Bowers' professional Pioneer team clinched a fourth place tie with Beloit, The Grinnell offense scored a season high of 21 points by the running of John Shierholz, Marty Ringo, and Elston Bow— ers. Whenever the running game bogged down, wizard Quarterback Barry Anderson reached into his bag of tricks and pulled out the football, ,Then he proceeded to complete asses to star ends Mike De» ltt, Al Peterson, and Dave Gauger. All in all, the season proved successful. This writer feels that the team could have fin- ished higher if they only had played consistently. The two- platoon system proved effec- §ive with the defense and of- ense both rating high in these two departments. Prospects for next year look good with an outstanding fresh- men team and seasoned veter- ans led by co-captains elect John Shierholz and Paul Thur- ston. The only question mark is can a successful small-cob lege coach continue to recruit 75% of his ballplayers from the Iowa-Illinois area constituting only 50% of the Grinnell en- rollment. This writer feels that if Coach Bowers can, .Grinnell will be a conference winner in the near future. Seniors playing for the last time for the Pioneers were Mike Dewitt, Elston Bowers, Rein Saral, Pete Staben, Mike Miller, Morgan Michel, Den- nis Hanssen, Marty Ringo, Den- ' ny Homerin, Rick Miller, Chip Clark, Larry Miller, Dave Gau- ger, and Skip Weyrauch. These seniors were the nucleus of a team that for a three-year pe- riod Won l7—lost G—tied i. All that is left for us to say is good luck.
