(Photo by John Pepper) Tie Closes Soccer Season The soccer types completed their first season under Coach Keith Fisher and undernewlyr established varsity status by tying Drake University at l- l. The final game of the 1970 campaign featured many ofthe aspects that made this a frus' trating season for Keith and the team‘rfailure to capital- ize on breaks and an inability to score while generally con- trolling midfield and playing aggressive defense. This last game was enjoyable however, as the team played well des— pite blowing snow and (BU-def gree temperatures and a poor set of directions which got most of the team to the game 45 minutes late. The game was barely a min- ute old when a Drake attacker «(in a gold stocking mp) broke through the asyet—unorgan- ized Grinnell defense to put one in. it looked like another long afternoon for the Scarlet and Black, but Dave Coron scored the first goal of his Grinnell career within a cour pie of minutes of Drake’s, tying the score for the rest of the afternoon as it turned out. The Grinnell defense quickly got it together and shut out the Drake attack effectively.

The soccer team closed at 37472, which was not as good a showing as was hoped for when the team assembled in September. The loss of Steve Hirshorn hurt, as did a gen- eral letdown which appeared midway through the season. In any case, the team lost or tied its last five games after a fast start. Keith can look forward to next season and the return of his scoringstars Tom Lincoln and Steve Kore stad and the hopeful return of Hirshorn. Saturday's game was the last for seniors Bruce Graham, J-C Labowitz, Jim Dix, Howard Reid, Craig Gorr don and Dean Swift. “Socceratesf’ Too little, Too late November 20, 1970 Knox Shaves Grinnell Grinneil’s Pioneers contin- ued their losing skein at Knox in the final game of the sea- son. Both teams,going into the game, had identical league records of 4-3 and were tied for fourth place, but Knox walked away the better, 28’25. Grinnell drew firstblood ona 19 yard field goal by Twinkle toes Roy Lewis, but from then on, the game was dominated by Knox, as they struck for TDs in each of the four quart ters. Mike Eslick broke for 77 yards and a touchdown in the first quarter, and Kelly Cahoon scored from 13 yards out in the second quarter to leave Knox on top 14—3 at the half. in the third quarter, Bob Boiler scored on a one yard drive, and early in the final frame, John Hubner plunged over, also from the one. Thus Knox led 28-3 in the fourth quarter before Grinnell could get started. The Pioneers never fully gve up, however, despite the met that theballgame hadbeen rendered meaningless by their previous two losses. Grinnell finally got an offense going following Hubner’s score, as they drove 56 yards with Wa- West Attempts IM Volleyball is progressing as usual this week, with Read continuing to dominate the forecourt, the backcourt, and the nets. Clark is in second, Pope: Students Must Save "As To: Students of Grinnell From: Dick Pipe, IM Director Re: Article by the C. Kid First let me say this is not the article that I had written after reading the article on lM’s. My initial impression was that of dire wrath, but that has since been dispelled through conversation with the anonymous writer. [had read the article gettingthe impres- sion that it was a personalat- tack upon the directors of the [M program, as I think others also assumed. But upon the conversation of tonight I realized that thearti~ cle was not intended to be so, but was rather intended to help us and to get other Students to help us in the restructuring program of lM’s, a task wh- ich has met much difficulty and won’t get off the ground unless the students sodemand it. The 1M program this year has been far from satisfac— tory, in fact it has been one of the bleakest on record, save for some Sterling per‘ formances in the past couple of years. This has been the result of the restructuring of the old hall system, and the shift in interests of the stu- dent body from the archaic "win for the old hall” spirit. I’m not saying this isn’t good, but too many people feel they must win no matter how they do it, and this detracts from the enjoyment that should be derived. it has also led to many people not wanting to participate, as they have no desire to be stomped on by Jollie Rollie and the rest of the gang of Clark, but would rather go out and have fun and enjoy themselves. Butthis again is not the basis of the problem confronting IM’s. The crisis can be solved by adequate and upsto-date lear dership. Craig and myself seem to be willing to give it, but the powers that be balk from the chore. It is no secs ret that the system needs ov~ erhauling. We need a system base on interest groups as was suggested in the article, not one based on the hall sys* tem. There is not enough ins terest within most halls to conduct a worthwhile 1M pro gram: 'ihis idea is not new. Idis~ cussed it this summer with the powers, but the idea was cast aside. Perhaps this was my fault for not emphasizing its emphasis, perhaps the bi- ame should lie with thepowers for wanting to stick with a crumbling empire. That mat- tors not. What matters is that something needs to get done. it needs to be done rather soon before the program disr appears entirely. Our hands are tied. We must deal with our superiors, and thatseems to be out of date. People complain of no offis cials for volleyball. With the monetary situation of the coir lege, we can’t afford to pay people to officiate. A member of North suggested that we might give PE majors for of- ficiating so that there will be an incentive involved. One power said it isn’t a “carry- BATES FLORIST Phone 236-3197 1012 Broad over” sport so we can’t do it. I'm not saying it deserves a major; i do think it involves enough for a minor, but they will only give, and this has not been approved, one team sport towards the team sport requirement. This was not enough incentive for anyone to volunteer. If you have a complaint or suggestion, come to Craig or myself with it. We know what is happening with theprogram and can accommodate the sug- gestion. Otherwise your sug- gestion or complaint becomes part of a verbal attack upon us as to why we're not doing our job. They aren’t proces- sed to assess the value of them. They are used as wea- pons. Come to us. We can help and are willing to. We want to see theprog—ram work. We want to change it so itwiil work. But with our hands tied, we become part of the upper echelon who directs and doesn't listen. Think about the program, not about who is writing this and why he might seem bitter. Perhaps the C. Kid is right. By remaining anonymouspeo- ple will think about what he says, and won't try to ration- alize it by lmowing who wrote it. The program is for the students, and it needs help. it is up to the students to save it. shington ”Baby Bull" Alston , going over from the two. The pass for the two point conver— sion failed. Followinga fumr ble recovery, the Baby Bull scored from Knox’s 16, then ran for two points. A poor punt set up Grinnell’s final score as the Pioneers took over on Knox’s 44. Gorgeous Gary Johnson hit Henry ”the Flash” Corona with a 16 yard scoring Strike, and " ack" Robinson ran for the twopoint conversion to run the count to 28—25, Knox. However, th- ere were just 16 seconds left in the game, and Knox killed the clock. The game was, thus, a case of too little, too late. Grinnell proved in the fourth quarter they could score, yet they did so too late to mean anything. The Pioneers just didn't get aroused over this meaningless game until the fourth quarter. An important factor is that Grinnell had to play without two starters, Jim Pirolli and Randy Sarver. Both suffered ankle injuries againstSt. Olaf. All in all, however, the season wasn't a total loss, as the team stayed at .500 and per formed as the experts predics ted they would. IM Revolution (yawn) and North is in third, (Tra-la). But what is this? West Norris Hall seems to be trying to create a revolution in the ranks of the 1M stand— ings. It has the audacity to tie North for third position in the V-Ball league! Excuse me for getting so carried away, but I was almost under the impresa sion that their were only three winning teams in the league. Right On West. Smith Hall is also a winning team witha ll- 7 record, that ties them withthe Profs.
