FOOTBALLERS FOILED By JEFF SCHECKTER Grinnell lost its filth football game at the season during Homecoming Weekend. A capacity crowd withstood the cold winds to watch the Pio- neers forge ahead 15-14, only to lose it all in the fourth quarter, 29-l5. Once again, the game illus- trated how the lack of depth has hurt the team. wiui only 35 men, Coach Bowers is forced to play men both ways. Despite the fine physical condition of the team, it is impossible for them to play at their peak the entire game. This results in the collapse of the defense in the last quarter and is the direct cause of at least three Pioneer losses. Grinnell opened the scoring in the first period when Doug Fink passed to Mike Schwartz for a 60 yard scoring play. from Russell kicked the poinia atter~touchdown and Grinnell led, 7-D. Monmouth tied the score late in the quarter with Tony Por- ter carrying the ball in from the six to cap a fourteen play drive. Larry Motzer kicked the extra point. Monmouth scored again in the second quarter, sending Chuck Corie over from the two. Motzer's kick was good and Monmouth led, 141 Grinnell ended the first half scoring with Brian Barnes run- ning the ball into the end zone and Pink passing to Schwartz to put Grinnell ahead, 15-14. An exciting halftime program was presented under the di- rection of Miss Mary Jones of the Alumni OfiiCe, After the Coronation of Cindy Root as Homecoming Queen, Miss Jones led the parents in physical ex~ erciseu requesting the rising of parents living east of the Mir- sissippi; parents living west oi the Mississippi; parents living in Minnesota who hadn't heard of the Mississippi; parents who had students at Grinnell; and students at Grinnell who were parents, The only thing mlss« ing at the show was a prize for the oldest parent west of the Mississippi, Fortunately, the teams re« turned and put an end to all such activities The score re- mained 15~14 throughout the third quarter and things looked good {or the Pioneers. This fecl< ing quickly disappeared in the fourth quarter as Porter scored from the two, giving Monmouth the lead, 20-15. Four plays later, Doug Fink was dropped in his own end zone for a safety, making the score 2214. The final score of the game came on a John Schroeder run and a Motzer FA]: The game ended with the score, Monmouth 29, Grinnell 15. (It is interesting to note that while the officials are Very well versed in the football rulebook, it is obviously not this years At least three times in the sec- ond half, the coach of the Scots could be seen on the playing lield. This is a 15 yard penalty and yet it was completely ig- nored by the oificials. The striped gods also chose to over look the rule that only eligible receivers an the offensive team are permitted downlield before a ball is punted. Had these in- fractions been observed by the otllmals and the proper penala ties administered, there is no doubt that it would have been a different ball game.) rnoro by nick Trcnmnnn SCARLET AND BLACK Wolnuday Nov inbu- Photo by Dick rrernnnn Pioneer players spenl’ n pleniiiul portion of the perierrnanes passing, pushing and puniing the pigskin, but primarily pursuing ii. illlllllllllllllmlillllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllilllllllllllllillllllllllllilllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllillllllIIlllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllilllllilllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllillllllll SHOEMAKERS' HOLIDAY REVIEW By JOHN WILES In the Prologue to Thomas Dekker's comedy The Shoe- makers’ Hollday, a spokesman for the cast entreats the audi- ence for “one gracious smile,‘ hoping to stave off the possible “bitter storms of your dislike." in response to the cast and crew who recently staged The Shoemakers’ Holiday for Grin- nell Convocation audiences, one must certainly “send . 4 _. life," and not “sentence . . . to death” this production or the timeweathcred play. The cast. and Director For- ter Woods, seemed to have taken as their orientation Dek— ker's own preface, in which he describes his work as “a merry- conceited comedy,” for which "nothing is purposed but mirth." The play was indeed performed very broadly, as a production which finds its pri- mary reinforcement in the laughter of its audience. Max Helfgott was amusing as a harmlessly self- appreciative shoemaker, although he seemed less than accurate in portray- ing Simon Eyre only as a fum- bling antic. Heltgott convinc- ingly played that part of Eyre to which his own remark “Prince am 1 none" applies, but apparently chose to ignore the latter half of Eyre's famous assertion — ”yet am lprinccly born" — as being the hint it is to more dignified and com- manding facets of simon Eyre's character. Libby Pannwitt, on the other hand, pumped far too much intelligence into a part which calls more simply for a dense, nagging, scattermraincd old helpmate. Much of Dame Mar- gery's colorful bluntness seem- ed underdeveloped; shrew is she none, yet could she more shrewishly have been borne, Ken Hicks made a line, dash- Hicks seemed to abandon any link between the two roles. Without doubt, Hicks is capable of superb comic antics, but it must be remembered that Lacy's motivation for disguise is merely temporary conceal- ment, not to try his hand at playing the giddiest fool in Lon don ' Dennis Wilson and Robert ing- ham made an unbalanced team as Eyre’s employees, Hodge and Firk. Wilson was uneasy with the Elizabethan language of his part, and needed some invent- iveness in order to have proj- ected a stronger. more polished performance. lngharn, alas, was to be found at the other extreme of lively inventiveness. A polished, superbly c o mic performance was given, but much too much liberty was taken with the role of Kirk. Firk is a character who is funny primarily because he himself does not realize that he is; it is not a sophisticated, all- knowing wit who addresses Lacy as “corn-iorant” instead of “colonel.” While lngham's perfnmance was entertaining, it was too nimble and self-com scious to have been the char- acter Dekket‘ created. Fritz Schwaller, as Lincoln, and Ned Benton, as Dtley, made for a pair of amusing old fugies, whose machinations to prevent the marriage of Rose and Lacy were funny and in no way really Villalllous. Had both actors toned down their stereotyped and ofa ten strident characterizations, no doubt they would have easily stolen the entire show. Art Knowles did well with the part of l-lammon, playing him more as an indiscriminate sult~ ADDiniS Hr. E. or with an uncontrollable libido than as a true menace who might have seriously soured the spirited lightness of his scenes with Rose and Jane Both Rose and Jane were quite well played. Ricki Ravitts sup- pressed an occasional temptation to satirically overplay Rose's sweetness, and kept her from, becoming ludicrous as an over- bearing saccarine stereotype. Stephanie Lewis gave a fine performance as Jane, especially in her first scene as the whim- pering, exceedingly weepy bride whose husband is about to b! drafted. Bill Saylor was ill at ease as Rafe, a role which offers very little comic potential. and which must be played as a sup porting romantic hero. sayloi- projected little romantically, and failed to complement Miss Lewis' romantic devotion 8: Jane. Debbie Abbott tackled the part of Sybil, Rose‘s maid, with good ' bawdy sauciness, and despite a lack of convincing earthiness, was essentially capable in thin supporting role. Patty Loeb was delightful us the near-omnipresent Boy, who was smoothly almost non-played, was smoothly almost non- played, Murry Nelson was perhaps the most lamentably poor in his characterization of the King. Nelson proved woefully weak in the role which supplies tho play with what is needed for a successful comic conclusion: a strong, authoritative f i g u r e whose presence Will ensure that every loose strand of the play’s rambling plot be drawn togeth- er finally in a harmonious happy ending.
