I96! No Reboumfi’ g Weak Offensive leuo' Fa Two Basketball losses By STEVE CASEY The Pioneer basketball team, showing a surprising inetticiency in their ottense and a riot-sosur- prising lack of rebounding, suc- cumbed twice last weekend to fair teams from Knox and Mon- mouth. Knox whipped the Pio- neers Friday, 62-55, and Mon- mouoh ambushed them Saturday, 3369, The Pioneers were outrebound— Ed over the weekend 105-79 and had a considerable number of turnovers in their disappointing openers The Pioneers were also able to make only forty baskets compared to seventy for their 01)- position.

Alter that the Pioneers were never able to get closer than sev- en paints to Knox. The Pioneers crept to 22.15, but Knox pulled away to a 3418 lead The hall ended at 3815. The Siwash combined a hustling defense and an oiliense that worked hard to get good shots to keep the Pioneers at bay all night. The second ham or the game was similar to title rirsc as Knox kept control or the boards and towed the Pioneers into many bad pass es. The hoopsters put forth n mild challenge by drawing within seven points with eight minutes remain ing but were never able to get closer than that Even after the Knox game, the Pioneers had high hopes oi get» ting a split for the weekend. It looked like they would as they jumped out to a quick 16-9 lead against an unorganized Monmouth team. But the Scots called a time out and regrouped their forces. Monmouth then proceeded to reel oil 14 straight points, many or them giits because Di poor Pioneer passes, to lake a me lead. The Pioneers were only able to pick up a pair at free throws as the Scots continued on to build a 31-18 lead. The halI ended at 43-32. The Pioneers, though, came out surprise the Scots like they did at the start of the game. They looked for a while like they would succeed In the ilrst three min- utes the hoopsters reeled oft nine points to draw within two point: 43-41. The Pioneers were able in stay close, within tour points, tor the next ten minutes The deficit was cur to one point twice, but the Pioneers never able to get the clutch basket to take the lead while the Scots were floundering. Finally with eight minutes re- maining, Monmouth broke the game open huilding up a nine« point lead. The Pionmrs never threatened after that.
