Friday. November 20. [764 SCARLET AND BLACK Page Eleven By Paul Trigg The repercussions from my effort last week have induced me to return to predicting game scores for a while. Seriously, there has been enough agitation to warrant a curtain call, but I would rather wait until all the ballots are in before hopping back up on the shoot~ lng gallery. So, without lingering longer, let me launch into asubject a little less controversial (I hope). The 1964 Midwest, Conference football season is over and Grinnell finished in a respectable tie for fourth with Beloit, behind co-champions Cornell, Ripon and Coe. More luster was added to our finish by last week's impressive 28‘10 victory over St. Olaf to close out the season Fourteen seniors played their last game and they are to be congratulated for in three years of varsity competition they played to a record of 17 wins, 8 losses and 1 tie. This is especially outstanding con- aidering they were playing before a school which, for the most part, is passive toward athletics But that is , another subject which I would rather not get into right nowi Regardless, I congratulate, as should the entire school, these seniors and the football team for a good season. Having received a few gibes for lack of fortitude in making predictions, thus accounting for my perfect record this fall (95 right, 0 wrong and 1 tie); I reply this week by placing my head on the guillotine. First. Michigan 26 Ohio State 21 and a trip to the Rose Bowl for the Wolverines. Secondly, and may the Lord help me, Iowa 22 Notre Dame 21 in the upset of the year. With this comes the end of the football season. Next week — back to more serious matters. End of Mifflin-Sundell Era al Grinnell Coach Faces Big Rebuilding Tasll Now The Mifflin-Sundell basket- ball era has ended and Coach John Piitsch faces a big re- building task this year. ‘ Jim Milflin and John Sun- dell, both 3«year stars and all- conference performers, were the only graduation losses, but they formed the hem of last year‘s team. accounting for 50 per cent of the rebounds and Al per cent of the points. Both wrote their names prom- inently in Grinnell’s record book. A 6-7 center, Sundell set single game (sl), season (443), and career (1031) rebounding marks. Mifflin, a 6-4 forward, tossed in 438 points last winter to tie the school career stand lard of 1101 Their departure leaves Pfitsch with What will probably be the Midwest Con- ference’s shortest team. Tallest man on the squad is 6.5 sophomore Jim Rhodes, the probable starting center. But, he broke his collar bone in an in- tramural football mishap and isn’t expected to be ready un~ til after the Christmas break. Pfitsch has seven returning lettermen, but only'lhree of them—senior Clyde Smith, and juniors Jeff Frantz and Ted Risser, are in the 672 and over class. Frantzp who Piitsch says "Could he the best basketball player l've ever had,” set a sophomore scoring record of 391 points in 1963-64 for an av- erage of 17.8 per outing. The most consistent scorer during the second half of the cam» paign, he averaged 23.6 points for the last 10 games. A deadly outshooter and hard driver, Frantl is most at home at guard. But Pfitsch may have to move him to for- ward because of his rebound- ing skills. He ranked second to Sundell in that department last year. Smith was a starting forward in 1963-64 and averaged 6.8 points and pulled .down 98 re-‘ bounds. Kisser lettered as a reserve forward. The third returning starter is 510 guard Dave Sellergl‘en. A 2-year veteran his main forte in his floor play. He averaged 4,7 points per game last sea- son. Tom Buchholtz, Randy Morgan, and Dick Ulrich are the other lettel'men. Top sophomore prospect is Elliott Hibbs. A 6-0 guard and another fine outshooter, he paced last winter's lrosh team with n 23»point average. Other sophomores who are given a theme to break into the first unit are Steve Brint- nail, Tom Hill, Dick Lovell, and Bob Walt. None top 6-1. Pfitscli's first unit may in- clude 10 Pioneers rather than the usual {we or six. Because of its lack oi size, Grinnell Will lorry Miller leads Pioneers’ Wrestlers Coach Edd Bowers has only l0 candidates {or the nine spots on his Grinnell Pioneer wrestling team, but seven of them were regulars 0n the 196364 nuifit that posted a 7-1-1 dual meet mark and tin- ished third in the Midwest Con- lerence meet. “We could have as good a team as last year it we don’t have any injuries and it a couple of our sophomores come through," Bow- ers stated But it appears unlikely that the Pioneers will be able to match last year's record as Cor- hell and State College of Iowa have been added to the dual meet sched- ule. Both are perennial powers and Cornell is expected to retain its lnop crown, Leading Grinnell {or the third straight year will be Captain Larry Miller. Miller, who combines strength, savy, and a great com- petitive spirit, has lost only once in 26 matches during his Pioneer career. That was early in his soph- omore year. Since then, he has copped 24 straight ‘matohes and twice won the conference 167-pcund crown. Miller injured a leg in Grinnell’s opening football game and sat out the rest of the season, but should be ready to go at full speed by the opening wrestling meet. other Pioneer lettermen are sen, lei-s Ken Clymer, Jeff Lewis, Mop gan Michel, and Many Ringo and juniors Bill Barnes and Ken Strub- ler, ' Barnes and Sirubler, a pair of tough little guys, will till the 123- and ladpound spots, respectively. Strubler posted a l4—3-l mark a year ago and came in third in the league meet. Barnes placed sec and though his season mark 0! 7-5- 1 wasn‘t as impressive. Clymer, who was 44$ a year ago. and sophomores Mike Deatherage and Lynn Richman will fill the 137-, 147-, and 157 pound slots, but Bowers isn't Sure of the order. Deafllerage is a former Grinnell high school star. > Lewis is tabbed for the 177-pnund pOSition, but may be slowed at first by shoulder injuries he received in football. He Won 11 of 16 matches in 196364 and placed second in the conference. Sophomore Eob Geller is also available at 177. Ringo and Michel, the two big go with a running game. And because of the about equal ability of some 10 squad mem- bers, Pfitsch will likely substi- tute frequently.
