It is with pleasure, ihereloro, that we take note of the I. M. season as it. moves vigorously through the bracing iall air and towards its logical conclusion: indoor sports and the time when we Will no longer look like pmnes when we finish our 1. M. ICtiVlty’. I noticed that the Off-Campus team decided that it lacked competition from the other halls and, therefore, played a team made up of faculty members. This is a good way to pick up brownie points provided, of worse, that you don't win. Upsets were in the making last week although calling them upsets is not really doing them instice. When some of these teams win, it makes the part- ing of Lhe'rRed Sea pale in com yarison. I was informed, prior to the Clark game, that the Read machine was ready to roll again. it then proceeded to lose to a team that exhibited little more than the ability to field eight men Loose and West cagily held Dibble to 1130th victories by forfeiting at half< time, making the official score 1-0. East defeated West 13-7 in the annual Goldfish Bowl thus giving rise to the question of whether other bowl games of yesteryear would continue. For example, who would gain pos- session of the coveted toilet neat when Dibble played Smith In the Toilet Bowl: would South again beat North in the Animal Cracker Bowl; and would Raw- ion top Langan iii the Finger Bowl? Only time can answer these questions, which have bothered men for centuries.

Cindy Goes in Root Of Campus Problem Hockey Knockers By CINDY ROOT For two weeks the girls’ field hockey team has been rela- 1ively idle (which seems to be the way most people around here get in shape) preparing for the match with Graceland coming up this weekend. These two weeks of drills and scrim- mages (attended by the people who need them least) have spotlighted the typical Grin- neli attitude toward sports (etc?). A person who could actually enjoy working, suffering to im- prove himself, who could ain- cerely be interested in helping others reach this goal with him, must really be screwed upi Doesn't he know life is a joke where you try to get away with all you can, remembering that it's a lot easier for one to slip through a hole in the fence than two. Why, when you can ration- alize that getting through the fence is just a lark anyway, then you don‘t even have to feel inadequate or a failure, if you don't make it through (pretty safe!) Well, when half a hockey team (whoops "interest group”), won’t give what is necessary for caring, they are slowly injecting the poison that weakens a team. At Grinnell there is World full of people who have different feelings about things from mine; that’s great, that's exciting, but what are they doing on the hockey field! DEFEATED 2-0 The Cornell game, played on a wet, slippery field, was a fine team effort, according to Coach John Hemingway. Grinnell’s fine conditioning showed up often as the Pioneers overtook their cp- ponents from behind. Bruce Graham scored his fourth goal of the season, re- taining the team lead. Tom Lin- coin came through with his first goal for the other tally, Tom and Dave North scored assists and Dim Ferber, Steve Hirsh- born, Bill Wedding, and Ken Labowitz put in very fine per- formances on the slick field. Sunday, the Pioneers showed tremendous stamina and fortl. tudo as U of l edged them 3-2 in the closing minutes. The Pioneers bore down from the start. They worked in two goals before the half on scores from Steve Korstad (his sec‘ 0nd) and Ken Labuwitz (hll first). The Hawkeyes fought for one tally before half. Iowa battled back, working in for shots with extremely fine ball handling. Their biggest strength was in midfield Nu< merous times they worked in for shots, only to be stopped by fullback: Mike Eaton or Bill Wedding or by a spectaculiar'der fensive save by goalie Dave Coron. Finally in the last 10 'minutes the Pioneers, worn by nearly 180 minutes of soccer in two days, were outdistanced as the Hawkeycs scored a goal to capture the victory. Bruce Graham, Dave North, and Marly Wics also played e fine gamei Dave picked up his 4th assist to lead the squad Tomorrow the Pioneers host Carleton in their final home stand of the season. Coach Hemingway expects a tough game. Carleton is strong on passing, but he feels his PIDv neers have consistently shown fine team work and with mini- mum injuries and a little rest they will be ready.

Aiter beating the Pio< neers 41-14, they became the only team to boast an unde< tented, untied record. (Cornell was defeated by Monmouth.) Considering theso facts (and adding a bit of optimism), care- ful analysis of the statistics show that our team didn’t do nearly as badly as the final score indicated. In the first half, we made nine first downs to their three. By removing just three plays (hreakaways for over seventy yards each), the rushing and passing yardage statistics an! equal. of course, we can’t merely neglect those three bad defensive plays, but considering t h e m separately does help explain why Coach Bowers called our effort “the best game we've played.” The offensive line finally got going in this game and gave not only pass protection but also was able to “fire out" and open holes for ground yardage (145 yards). Rey Lewis, Brian Barnes, and Jon Busweli all looked good carrying the ball. Brian played his best game so for both defensively and offen< lively, and Jon, as well 54 fi- nally getting some chances ta carry the ball, made quite a few key blocks. Gary Jones did a good job catching some im. portant passes for critical first downs, as well as pulling in a twenty-seven yard touchdown pass from Gary Johnson. Tom Lower, who played n great game, caught Johnson's other touchdown pass (seven yards). The most serious problems we had all day were the in. juries (which could also be a factor tomorrow), The most popular injury of the day seemed to center around the knees—of the five received, Al Clouds is the most serious. He will be out for at least a couple of weeks. There are also rui- mots of bad referee calls (mainly led by Steve Hutchings, who was thrown out before half- time). The most encouraging aspeol of the whole game was that the Pioneers finally began to work' together as a team There were still quite a few mistakes, but we seem to ba ieaming (we didn't lose any fumblesl). To~ morrow we play a team the! has ti record similar to bum Knox will be tough, but If Iaal week can be seen as an indica- tion of progress, we could win need our professional drycleaning finishing . . . they're beautiful when you buy them...why not kup them that way with our proiessional tin/cleaning and iamous STA'NU finish- i , in; . .. it costs you no more.
