LONE STAR LUTHERAN
FEBRUARY 24, 1967
Sir Colby’s Sketches
By Colby Jones
We have improved. That’s a
term used frequently around TLC
for our sports programs. It’s
pretty hard to get any worse.
But be sure to brag about our
football going from a 1-9 season
to a 2-7 in only one year and
the basketball team going from
6-15 to 8-13. Must be the re-
cruiting. We are improving in
sports at about the same rate
the school is improving in en-
rollment. Maybe we should have
a sports 10 year plan. After 10
years we might be able to break
even in something.
One seems to forget about the
good ole days when the present
times get too rough. In fact,
it was only two years ago that
the good old days were here.
We started out the year right with
a very successful football sea-
son. Though the games we lost
weren’t anything to yell about,
the ones we . won were impor-
tant, especially since we won
more than we lost.
Then we went on to basketball.
Two years ago we were a major
threat to anyone we played and
ended up winning conference. We
also won conference in baseball.
But that was two years ago.
Right now we are stuck with a
bad season in everything and no
one knows exactly what to do
about it. Everyone more or
less imagines the situation to
exist forever this way. I cer-
tainly hope not.
But we have a chance to finish
the basketball year on a happy
note. For those of you who will
not be listening to the speaker
tonight here on campus, there
is a basketball game, the last
one of the season, to be played
in Austin against St. Ed’s. Game
time is at 7:30.
Meanwhile for all the basket-
ball fans who are interested in
what’s happening on the national
scale, here are a few of last
week’s scores: East: Paul
Smiths 98, Canton Tech 82; Co-
bleskill 83, Fulton-Montgomery
67; Babson Institute 93, Went-
worth 62; Juniata 75, Blooms-
burg 65; South: Randolph -
Macon 78, Gallaudet 57; La
Grange 90, West Georgia 68;
Wofford 73, Newberry 57; Mid-
west: Wittenberg 105, Heidel-
bert 58; Ashland 74, Malone 38;
LUTHER COLLEGE 93, St. Am-
brose 76; Mayville 80, Wahpeton
74, Monmouth of 111. 97, Grin-
nell 71; Far West: PACIFIC LU-
THERAN 109, Linfield, Ore. 70;
Westmont 100, CALIFORNIA LU-
THERAN 90.
It’s getting to be just about
time fo£ old high school jea-
lousies to come forth again. With
bi-district games already com-
pleted, tomorrow is the last day
for regional playoffs. We’ll be
seeing just about the same names
as before. San Antonio Lee
meets Austin McCallum, South
San Antonio faces Rockdaly, and
in the rest of the state the teams
left are Abilene, Spring Branch
Memorial, Grand Prairie, Tyler,
Deer Park, and Fort Worth Pas-
chal. One surprise last week,
at least to people around TLC,
was the Clear Creek victory
over El Campo 66 to 56. 'What-
ever happened to Slippery Rock?
Intramuruls Close,
Playoffs to Follow
by Vance Youens
The competitors in the intra-
mural basketball leagues will
play the final regular scheduled
game Monday night. This final
game will probably be followed
by a playoff in the class A lea-
gue. There are three teams in
the class A division that will
have a shot a: the league cham-
pionship. The Animals with their
one loss have an excellent chance
at the championship. Their sche-
duled to tangle with the Gorgons
Monday night at 6:30. The Un-
touchables were knocked off their
pedestal as the only undefeated
team Monday by the Gorgons 59
to 45. Exparx led the winners
with 18 points and Bruce Gull-
berg followed with 16. Alan
Wells was the leading socrer
for the Untouchables with 23
points. At the end of this week,
the Animals, the Untouchables,
and the Gorgons remain tied
with one defeat apiece.
One of the highest scoring
games of the season was viewed
Monday night as the Nomads
beat the Sopwith Camals 66 to
23. George Mickels led his
team to victory with 22 points.
The powerful Nomads were un-
defeated in the Class B league
competition until they tangled
with the faculty, better known
as the Panters, Wednesday night.
Doctor Bier calculated the chem-
ical formula for 12 points as he
led the Panters to a 33 to 31
victory over the Nomads. This
vitally important win for the
Panters clinches the Class B
league for them.

Bulldogs Muzzled Again
Tuesday night was a bad night
in ole San Antonio when the tra-
veling Bulldogs met the rough and
tumble Tigers of Trinity. The
contest turned into a runaway
after the half, and the Dogs were
left holding the short end of the
scoring, rebounding and shoot-
ing average stick.
When last the two teams met,
the outcome was the same, but
the objectives were different.
When the Tigers were on the
TLC court, the main objective
was Larry Jefferies and holding
his noteworthy scoring average
down. In the first game the 29
points - per-game Jefferies
sported fell, to say the least,
as he was held to only 11 points
the entire night. In the game last
Tuesday, * ‘Shooting Larry”
scored 35 points and simply ov-
erpowered the sliding Bulldogs.
Final score, 99-58.
Standouts for the vain TLC
effort were Dickie Orsak who
managed 18 points and Newton
Grimes who pushed in 13. This
was the second time only two
Bulldog cagers turned up in the
double figure scoring column;
the same two players against
Southwestern.
In the last home stand of the
season, Southwestern put the hurt
on the comeback-minded Dogs.
The Pirates’ team was not really
instantly impressive, but their

depth and hustle eventually put
the home town boys in the hole.
For much of the first half
the game was fairly evenly play-
ed by each team. Both teams made
mistakes and several times threw
the ball away. One of the big
problems of the TLC team came
up in a most unlikely spot—at
the free throw line. The Dogs
foiled a number of times to
score the “gift shots.” The game
got a late start because the time
clock would not function prop-
erly, so the official time was
repeatedly being called out to
the stands from the judges’ table.
As the first half drew to a
close, it looked as if the Dogs
would leave the court 4 to 6
points behind. Somehow, with
20 seconds to go, the Pirates
managed to pull out in front
with a 10 point lead, 37-27.
A shot from near mid-court a-
long the sideline swished through
the basket as the buzzer sound-
ed to give the visitors the last
two points.
Things did not look too much
better the second half for the
home team, as the Pirates con-
tinued to roll over the Dogs.
Right off the bat the Southwes-
tern team put a zone press on
the Dogs, while similar tactics ^
were used on the visitors. For
the first four minutes of the sec-
ond half, the Bulldogs could not
even buy a point. Before the TLC
boys could score in the new
half, Southwestern had pushed
their lead to 48-27. During the ^
course of the game the lead *(
bulged and slimmed, but it was
always a nice comfortable lead.
Putting in a good effort for
the losing cause were Dickie
Orsak and Newton Grimes. In
his first appearance since being
injured in intra-team, scrim- „
mage,Orsak contributed 17 points **
to be the high point man for the
Bulldogs. Orsak was followed by
Grimes with 12 points.
In both of the last two games
the Dogs have been out gunned or
out hustled. In the Trinity game,
the struggling Bulldogs w$re the
victims of a full court press that TIT
they had a hard time adjusting
to. In the home game against
Southwestern, the host team
would not sustain a scoring drive
and could not. out-hustle the Pi-
rates. All the players put forth a
good, strong effort, but .it'was
not enough for the Dogs that
have gone ‘‘cold” to the scent
of victory.
