Luge Eight 3?" Pioneers Fall to Cellar with Losses To Coe and Beloii Over Weekend By Steve Casey The Grinnell basketball team lost two important ball games last weekend and were dumped into last place in the Midwest confer- ence. Poor shooting and rebound- ing were directly responsible for the defeats in both contests. Against Coe the Pioneers were thoroughly outclassed by the husta llng Kohawks. The Pioneers tried the 1-3-1 zone defense that was ef- fective against Augustana, but sharp quick passes by Coo solved that defense. Coe then spurred to a 22-11 lead After Coe scored on several easy lay ups, Grinnell shifted into a man-to-rnan defense which was a little more effective. The Pioneers cut their deficit to five points with six minutes left but could get no closer, Coe came back and took ‘ 39-30 halftime lead. Coe took complete command in the second half. The Kohawks' leading scorer, Skip Swan, and guard Mike Collis started scoring and Coe pulled away to a Sixteen point lead with twelve minutes 1‘8- mainingl Then in these last twelve minutes while Gi‘innell could only manage to score nine points, Coe Scored freely and eventually won 80-53. Frigid shooting by Grinnell and hot shooting by Coe was the differ» ence. Grinnell could only hit on 30% of their shots, including 26% in the second half, while Coe netted 51% of their shots. Coe also took command of the backboards by nut-rebounding Grinnell 45-26. The Beloit game completed the disastrous weekend, This game was similar to the cue game except that Beloit clinched the game by half- time when it held a nearly incur: mountable 54-36 lead. The second half saw the second stringers getr ting plenty of action with twelve different Pioneers and eleven dif- ferent Buccaneers eventually scor» ing. Grinnell’s shooting improved ov- er the previous night, but unfnr~ tunately Eeloit had a hot night to easily overcome Grinnell’s im- provement. The Pioneers connected on 42% of their shots but the Buc- caneers hit 55% of their shots. Be- loit also humbled the Pioneers in rebounds 49-30. Freshmen Take Third Straight Viciory; Anderson Feels Coe Toughest Opponent While the varsity was suffering ‘ twelve points respectively while SCARLET AND BLACK By Paul Trigg Although I have promised the editor that I would not resort to the Clark nail level of discussing intramural sports, last week's Animal Life column and Mr. Haveman’s allegation at last Tuesday night's coffee hour that there is a lack at student incentive in scholarly pur- suits have triggered me into prognosticating the Women’s intramural basketball race. i attempt this analysis with two goals: to prove that the writers of that column were in error when they predicted Loose hall would Win tile championship, and to do this in such a fashion as to assure its comprehension even by sportswriters who seem to have trouble reading. 1 also attempt this under what i thought was an ob- vlous assumption a that Loose hall is only eligible for the 1M league on south Campus. in picking Loose hall to win the basketball championship, my car horts neglected the fact that lowa is the only state in the midwesi, and one of the few states in the country, in which girl’s high School basketball is played. Therefore, Iowa is the primary “recruiting ground" of the midwest. Because of this factor, it. is not the hall with the most out of state talent, but rather the hall with the most Iowa-bred personelle which has the best chance of securing first place. Thus, the obvious choice for the 1M championship is Cleveland hall which houses 18 healthy, intellectual, corn—fed iowa girls. Speaking of basketball, 1 promised three weeks ago that after the University of lowa played U.C.L.A. and Michigan 1 would discuss their situation again. i must confess that the Hawks fared somewhat better than I thought they would. i did not see the U.c.L.A, game. but from all accounts they beat the Bruins thoroughly with a very strong game. I did see the Michigan game, however, which unfortu- nately became a debacle. It must be a real nightmare to turn over the ball seven straight times without a shot, or to watch your opponent score 19 points in a row, but these things as well as the entire game can be explained by three factors. First, and most obviously, the Hawks played a poor game. Secondly, they lack experience which showed up when faced by Michigan's awesome power and talent. Thirdly, Iowa has no depth. Most of the time they have only four first rate players on the noon As 1 stated earlier, they are a year away from having an excellent team. With the addition of a few junior college transfers or members of this year’s trosh team, they could win the title next year. Swimmers to Meet Carleton. Si.
