Big Rally Wins For John Glenn Friday Night A big rally in the last half of tho last quarter combined with a pressure defense that helped stymie the Jimtown offense for this same period. brought John Glenn’s basketball team their first win of the year Friday night and capped an evening that had fans witnessing about everything but basketball for quite some time. The game, played at Jimtown, started out as the wildest. poorly played and almost as poorly officiated game that most people have ever watched. The inconsistency of the officiating let the game get out of hand and it was a comedy of errors and whistle-t<K>ting for the first half before the players themselves straightened things out in the final 16 minutes. The rally that decided the game in Glenn’s favor, started slowly, but picked up momentum as Jimtown had taken a 58-47 lead <>n a short baseline shot by Buss with a total of 4:16 left to play. At this time things seemed rather dark for the Falcons, but paced by the fine leadership of Greg Amor, the Falcons battled back for the win. Amor hit three free throws and Groves added two more in a minute and a half, but the lead still look<*d rather large until the pressing defense started forcing Jimtown errors. With 2:21 showing on tht* clock. Jack Boss hit a lay-in, cutting the lead to five points and the spirit picked up considerably by the Falcon fans. Amor was next tossing in a jumper and with 1 10 left in the game, he added a lay-in cutting the lead to a single point, 58-57. On the ensuing play in bounds, the pressure defense found an errant pass pulled out of the air right under the basket by Ross and he stuck in a lay-In with 1:01 showing to give the Falcons the lead, their first since halfway through the second period. From here on out, th** action was fast and furious as Jimtown twice missed the first of one-and-one free throws and the Falcons missed one such opportunity to have the action go right to the final gun when a long desperation shot by Jimtown missed for the Falcon victory. Play was anything but sharp and the shooting poor early in the contest. J. Campbell converted a three point play early to open the scoring but it took quite a while for much more to happen. Les Cable hit a free throw to open the Falcon's effort after a minute and a half had passed. Free throws played the biggest part of the scoring during the quarter and on through the entire half as the whistles were blowing a regular rhythm during this half, some of the calls almost unbelievable. After one quarter, it was knotted at 15-15, but things changed before halftime. The Falcons held a 26-22 lead with 2:48 to play in the half, but from here on out came Jimtown’s biggest effort of the night as they moved ahead to a comfortable 35-26 halftime lead while the Falcons were being held scoreless. A similar situation occured In the last half to give the Jimmies another lead. After the Falcons settled down and narrowed the margin to 4 5-44 on Amor’s pair of free throws at the start of th** fourth quarter, Jimtown again • went on a sp»ee to boost the lead to 58-47. setting up the opportunity for the big rally which not only caught the Falcons up with the Jimmies, but gave them the win on Ross’ lay-in. The game found both teams very erratic a good percentage of the time. In all, 52 personal fouls

The Falcons hit only 21 of 40 free throws and Jimtown was slightly better with 24 out of 41. The missed free throws often came at critical points in the game. Amor ended the game as top scorer as he connected on eight baskets and seven of 13 free throws. He was the only Falcon in double figures. McGaffey and J. Campbell paced the losers with 17 and 16 points respectively, both accounting for at least half their points from the foul line. B Team Wins The Falcon B Team also won their first game of the season as they dropped the Jimmies 48-42 in a game that was interesting to say the least. The Jimmies B Team stayed in the game until late on the basis of their free throw shooting, but tht* Glenn B's pulled away to a safe margin late in the fourth quarter for the win. Tom Mellin had 15 and Larrv Neiswander 14 to pace the wins. Cook hit 12 for the losers.
