In a sweeping c )meback drive In
which the defensive was the power
full factor, Coach Toftness' cagers,
with Pangburn doing the final tai
living via the free throw route, edg-
ed out q squeeze victory over Glen
wood % to 26.
Events moved swiftly in the last
three miputes. Of play that lead to
the smashing climax amid the roar
ing, stampeding crowd. Conkeys
bucket with minutes to go closed
the gap to 26 to %, Glenwood still
leading. Larson drove in all the way
to score % to Is. Pangburn's gift
shot tied the score. His shot at the
bucket was muffed when he was
fouled. His foul shot sunk was rul-
ed out when Glenwood sub
stitution failed to report before the
shot. But he took it over and made
it to the delight of the fans.
Anti-climactical were the events
that moved then into q desperate
battle. While the crowd never ceas-
ed it's roaring, Glenwood's Coach
Behmler and Mature ran onto the
floor to protest technicality OF
the substitution; Glenwood missed
a chance to tie even then; and
Kringen put the game neatly to bed
with a gift shot to clinch a two
point margin.
It was primarily a defensive vic
tory. Held to two field goals during
the first half, the locals trailed ~
to z at half time and the third quar-
ter Glenwood lead was still u to IA.
Then the tables were reversed when
Glenwood was held to single goal
during the second half. It is an
interesting note that IA, exactly
half of the locals points, were made
via the free throw route. From the
floor Glenwood outscored the locals,
leading 10 to Z in field goals.
It was sophomore Jackson who
spanked the club into their driving
offensive, pulled them out Of the
first half sag and Kringen was
quick to see the merits.
It was easily Glenwood's BAH
game during the first half. A lean.
hard-driving boy named Mature,
holding the Glenwood forward slot,
worried the boys gray-haired in this
hectic first half accounting for IL
of the 10 points. Glenwood readily
moved into the smoother attack Of
the two, scored Kirkwold and Math-
re to open things. And the locals
seemed to stumble around, caught
up in that maze that defeated them
against st. Johns last week.
The locals tried everything. A
substitution put locals into nice
passing but they begged after few
attempts. Then they tried quick
break, with Walker and Pangburn
in fast duo down the floor. One
of their mistakes came in the mat
ter Of held balls. Glenwood men fore
and aft were getting the tips on
these, robbing the locals Of a share
Of the ball handling. BY the end OF
the quarter Glenwood lead z to 8.
The defensive. always the strong
est arm of the locals, slipped to q
nil quantity during the second
quarter. Mature, Pepper, Clothier
bored in again and again, caught
the boys mapping. and scored. Mean
while the locals weren't listless;
in fact they were playing their
hearts out. But they played too hard
or too tense. There was talk that
perhaps staleness was hampering
them.
Mid-quarter Of the second frame
Hoffman dumped a bucket, the
first goal from the field for the
locals. But the second quarter was
a veritable rout and Glenwood
sprang into a lead. almost too des-
perate to overcome, 10 to z.
Just what threatening words or
cajoleries Coach Toftness used dur
