Poor shooting was a big factor in the loss. Grinnell got enough shots but could not make enough of them to keep the pressure on the Augus- tano defense. The Grinneli defense employed a manta-man full court press for most of the game. This gave Augustana some easy shots when a small Grinnell player Would be forced to guard a tall Augustana player under the basket. But Coach Pfitsch was doing some experimenting to see if he Could de- velop a defense for the small Pio» neers to use against some future tall opponents Grinllell will face. Coach Ffitsch was pleased with the work of his front line. Jim Rhodes seems to have recovered from a pro-season injury and played well. Ted Risser and Clyde Smith also played commendable games. Pfitsch though was di5< appointed with the play of the guards whom he is relying on.
