A total OF SO called personal fouls
that sent Glenwood forward Lund
| to the showers with the independ-
emit quota Of five, gives some indi-
cation Of the rough stages OF the
game and of the hot pace OF the
second half.
Seeing their hopes for victory
dashed against the blank wall when
from halftime on they trailed by
ten points, Glenwood revamped
their team, sent in the shock troops
to clean out q dangerous nest OF
machine gunners in the persons OF
Johnny Dubois and Harold Ras-
mussen. Between these lanky lads
they chalked up 80 points, Johnny
leading the pack with 16.
Course Of the game in brief Is:
Glenwood went into a one point
lead at the end of the first quarter
when the two teams were able to
exc out Is points in aggregate after
the first quarter went nearly score
less. In q second quarter in which
Rasmussen, Dubois, and Keldahl
figured the locals breezed on to a
10 point lead % to Is at half time.
Never relinquishing those ten
points they steamed on 80 to 20 to
close the third period, and wound
up in a melee of elbowing and hip
throwing with the game in the bag.
On the opening play Glenwood
guard Larson dumped in the first
bucket Of the ball game, and it
looked like they were off. But 1t
was a false start. Three out of ev-
cry -four starts for the locals land
ed in the bleechers and Glenwood
couldn't hit their shots. In fact
both teams did everything but
score. Defenses were wellplugged,
and the chargers steamed up and
down the court in a dribIbling duel.
With the quarter nearly gone and
only 8 points scored Kelly scored
after a nice passing barrage was
laid down. He touched 1t off and
Sieben followed him to score. Matt
son took an overland shot. Ras-
mussen and Mattson split on buck
cts. Glenwood went into the quar-
ter lead 8 to Z.
Dubois gathered the first bucket
to take the lead but Lund took 1t
back. Rasmussen clinched the lead
again as the local offense worked
into a smoother attack. Rasmussen
connected after couple Of missed
short shots. Keldahl took an easy
one to score lone-handed and unat-
tended. Cook and Dubois on fast
breaking duo clicked down the
floor fast with Dubois doing the
tip in shot, and the locals romped
into a point healthier lead. Then
it was Dubois again on a goal from
the hole position. Giving an exhibit
ton Of what the well-dressed drib-
bier will do, Johnny broke the
Glenwood attack and was down the
floor dribbling all the way, dashed
wildly to score as the half ended,
% to Is. It was Dubois round.
It was a pitiful shooting exhibit
ton in this third frame, but the an
tics Of the players as the game sped
faster on it's way kept the crowd
convulsed. Dubois scored his only
bucket Of the quarter. Edinger
took a goal, to be followed by Ras-
mussen's score. After literally doz-
ems of short shots had been muf-
fed, Sieben got in for one. At one
time Glenwood closed that ten
point lead to five, but slipped back
into the old rut again.
To start the last frame off Ras-
mussen was donated four points by
free throws when personal and
two technicals awarded him the
shots. So Glenwood threw in the
rough stuff and the locals retaliat-
ed making it very interesting in
deed. Behmler, dead shot when he
draws a bead, scored. But when the
defense concentrated on the break
ing Rasmussen, OGara drifted out
into the clear to score his lone
bucket of the evening. With host
Of free throws and a blurr of play
ers swarming over the court, some
of them lying prone, the game
whirled to a finish amid the boos
Of the Glenwood players. But the
Independents had plodded merrily
along.
1t was definitely certain Glen
wood was not on their shooting. A
two-game series handwriting the
two nights previous had left them
unconditional for this game. Their
shooting form was off. So to offset
it they resorted to the rough tao
tics, but were unable to upset the
apple cart-because the local boys
could play with the toys. too.
