SCARLET AND BLACK Lance, Frohlich _ Dive One-Two The Grinnell swimming team took seventh place in the Mid- west Conference meet at Mount Vernon last weekend. The Pio< neer poolmen were led by Rich Lance and Cliff Frohlich, who finished one-two in diving. Other point-getters for Grin- nell were Ken Adelman, who took second in the butterfly, the medley relay team, finishing fifth, and Steve Holtze and Bill Batschelet, who placed sixth in the individual medley and 500< yard freestyle respectively. One of the factors hampering the Pioneer effort was Holtze‘s illness three days before the meet.

Swimming has been at its finest throughout the conference in the past few years.

Competition next year should be the best the Midwest Conference has ever seen. Frosh Cagers Finish Season The freshmen basketball team dropped its last game of the season to Cornell, 8514. The Little Pioneers, coached by Dick Lovell, spent a good part of the season on funda- mentals; only five of the team members went out for basket- ball in high school, and of these, only two started.

Also in double figures in season averages were; Gordy Abel, 14.8; Rad Conner, 13.8: Don Peterson, 10.5. Soccer, Anyone?
