fags Eight SCARLET AND BLACK Friday. September I7, I96! F By STEVE CASEY Congratulations must go to Coach Edd Bowers for the football preview he put on Saturday. Introducing the players and then showing the basic Pioneer defenses and olfenses will surely help the Grinnell tons to enjoy the game. having the cheerleaders show on the gear of the players was also beneficial and enjoyable to most or the crowd. Although the game was not overly thrilling, there were a few excit< lug plays, usually happening when the players had to improvise after the original play was abandoned. >I< >‘t< * At Lawrence a group of alumni and townspeople formed “The Lawrence Bench" under the co-chairmanship of a local bookseller and p tormer Little All-American football player. The long-range plan of this organization is to show appreciation to the College for its cultural and economic contributions to the community. But right away they are trying to fill the new 5,400 seat stadium for the opening game. Good luck. it would take a tremendous upsurge in attendance for the Plu- neers to get that many people for all four home games. >l< >1< >l< The 1965-66 Pioneer sports teams will be out to match the great success of last year’s teams which captured the conference all-sports itle. Due to a tremendous surge in the spring sports, the Pioneers took lhe title with 34 points, one point ahead of Cornell. Then came Carleton ind St. Olaf, 37; Ripon. 45; Beloit, 54; Monmouth, 57; Coe, 53; Law- tence, 61; and Knox, 62. >I< >I< >i‘< A former football star is the associate director of admissions. Nick Ryan Ryan holds a prominent position in the Pioneer record book. In 1954 in a game against Carleton he gained 213 yards which is the Pioneer record The 743 yards he gained that whole season is second on the Grinnell list. He is third in career rushing with 1427 yards, fourth in career total offense With 1538 yards, and fifth in career gcnring with 73 points. He was also first team all-conference in 1954. Maybe with Ryan in admissions we might be able to secure some mholars who are also star halfbacks. ) Freshmen (Continued from Page 1) cludes 27 per cent or the men and 19 per cent of the women as high school class officers and, as student council members, 38 per cent of the men and 29 per cent of the women.

Grldmeu Feature Squad PIaloonlng Keen competition continues at all positions as the Grinnell gridders move into the tinal stage oi prac- tice before their opening game with Cornell here Sept. 25. “All in all. we are quite pleased with our progress," noted Coach Edd Bowers. "We are further a« long in some areas than we were at a comparable stage in past years," he stated, but cautioned that “we still have a lot to do." Bowers will do a lot of pla< tooning and expects about so Pio- neers to see heavy action. “We feel that we have good squad balanceeat least a couple of good boys at each position” he related. “As our newcomers gain experi- ence, we could be deeper than last year.” The interior line, which was wrecked by graduation, remains the big question mark. Only three lettermen—Rick Anderson, Tom Lannom, and co—captain Paul Thurston—return, putting a heavy burden on sophomores. Lack of size is another problem. At present, not a single Pioneer tops the 200 pound mark. “We are going to have to hit faster and be more aggressive on both offense and defense to com- pensate for our lightness," Bowers pointed out. The Scarlet and Black came through the heavy contact phase of practice in good shape. Veteran ends Al Peterson and ‘Nord Brue and sophomore quarterback Kent Thomson are the only ones on the injury list, but none are serious. Thomson has been pushing Bar- ry Anderson, last year's regular, for the quarterback job. The halfback and fullback jobs are also being hotly contested. Bidding for offensive roles at half- back are three lettermen—corcap- tain John Shierholz, Dave Syn— horst, and Bob Watt, who all turned in good performances in Saturday's scrimmage. WRA Picnic The Women’s Recreation Asso- ciation will host a co- educational picnic at Lake Acre tomorrow at- ternoon. Informal recreation and a shish kaboh barbecue are plan- ned. WRA sponsored a bike hike Sept. ll. The girls peddled their way between courses of a progres- slve dinner. Welcome (AGAIN) Sludenls We Forgot! We do it all the time :0 We never thought.

Last Saturday the harriers ran ln the State Federation meet at; Ames, The Pioneers took seven runners to the meet that included Iowa State, Drake, and SCI. in the three-mile race the top finish- er was Steve Brintnall in ninth with a time of 16:55.

John Sharpe missed the meet because or a leg injury. “I’m fairly well satisfied with the over-all progress of the squad," coach Dick Young re. ported. “But this weather contin- ues to hamper our training. In two weeks of practice, we still haven’t had one really good con- ditioning day." Young plans to run all eight or his squad members in the Drake dual—lettermen Steve Brintnall and Jeri Langham. and new- comers John Sharpe, Ric Mao- Dowell, Doug Dray, Bob Grant, Dick Lovell, and Spencer Clark. “Right now, we have three pretty good runners in Brlntnall, Lang- ham, and Sharpe." according to Young. “I’m pleased with their progress." “But, we should have seven good men for a wellrbalanced team and have to have at. least five,” he noted.
