LAST HALF, 26-23
Glencoe Wins on Free Throw
Line; Juniors Defeated
1S to 10

18 to 10
An early second half squirt and
successful last two minutes stall
gave Glencoe a 26 to % victory
Friday night over the Redwood
Falls Cardinals on the Lincoln
floor in a Little Ten conference
game.
The second half saw the two
teams beginning from scratch
with the score tied at nine all at
ter the Cardinals had led most of
the first half.
Catching Redwood Falls un-
awares with a fast breaking at
tack and making the most OF It's
chances at the free throw line,
Glencoe sky-rocketed into a seven
point lead in the opening minutes
of the third quarter, giving the
Cardinals too big a bit to nlbble
on. Redwood Falls managed to
reduce it's deficit to Fl to 16 at
the end of the third session and
knocked two more points off in the
first six minutes of the fourth
quarter but after Russ Lauter-
bach's drive into the basket for
his third field goal of the game,
Glencoe tipped the ball about the
back court in fast passing stall.
The brunt of Glencoe's offensive
was carried by Bongard, forward
and the only remnant from last
wears runner-up in the state
tournament, and Marsh, guard.
Both were as nimble as antelopes,
speedy on their feet on the break
and hard drivers into the basket.
They were difficult to watch and
faxed their guards out of position
leaving themselves open for a
clear path on several occasions.
Marsh took the scoring honors
with three buckets and five gift
shots for eight points, while Bon
gard was next in line on a quartet
of field goals and one free throw.
Again the Cardinals excessive
fouling spelled the difference be-
tween victory and defeat, as Red
wood Falls kept pace with the
visitors from Mcleod county in
the numbe. Of field goals, each
aggregation connecting for nine.
On the other hand, Glencoe con-
verted eight of the IA free shots
while Redwood Falls was dropping
in five out of nine attempts.
During the first half Redwood
Falls put on one of the best dis
plays seen on the home floor this
season. The passing was accur-
ate and the three field goals were
made on cleverly executed plays.
The Cardinals started out as
though they meant business grab
bing three point lead on Cubby
Thomson's free throw and Paul
Asleson's one handed shot. Bon
gard and Marsh then swung into
action and tied the count. Lauter-
bach slipped in a dandy toss and
two gift shots by Glencoe tied the
score at 5 to 5 at the end OF the
quarter. Steve Inglis' free throw
gave Redwood Falls another mo-
mentary lead which Bongard wip-
ed out with a basket, putting the
invaders in the van for the first
time. Asleson converted a gratis
shot and Inglis connected with
his initial basket to seesaw the
Cards ahead again and Bongard
repeated himself by tying things
up at 9 to 9 to end the scoring for
the half.
While Glencoe piled up 10
points in its third quarter drive,
the Cardinals coming back after
they had lost considerable ground,
scored seven pionts on field
goal and a free throw by Asleson
and baskets by Thomson and In
glis. Lauterbach tried to bring
the Cards back to the front
in the final period with his two
field goals aided by one by Inglis,
who tossed in a gift shot, but
Marsh was also in the game and
his five points in that quarter just
kept the Cards back on their
heels.
The superior height of Bongard
and Kurz, center, was a strong
point in Glencoe's favor. Kurz
never failed to get the tip-off and
Bongard was usually up in the air
grabbing it.
Inglis cashed in on three bask-
cts and two free throws to head
Redwood Falls in scoring with
eight points, while Lauterbach
and Asleson were right behind
him with six scores each.
Glencoe's lanky B team also
took tumble out of the Redwood
Falls Junior High quint winning
by a score of 18 to 10. Again as
in the case of the varsity, fouling
was the chief cause for defeat,
Glencoe snagging 10 points on
free throws, while the Junior
Cards made two and collected four
baskets, the same number as did
their opponents. Pooch Lauter-
bach's four points made him high
man for Redwood Falls, while
Meier and Strew had five and six
points respectively for Glencoe.
Glencoe led at the half 13 to 8.
