Falcons Start Fast Bat Fall 81 72 To Tiiton Attack A hot shooting Glenn Falcon basketball team for a quarter and a half, turned suddenly cold Tuesday night and as a result, fell to Triton's Trojans by an 81-72 final score. Holding kmds up to lo points once the action got underway. the Falcons fad«*d, especially in the third period as their attack went flat and Triton began to tear the zone defense apart with some hot shouting to decide the game. The loss dropped the season record to nine wins and six losses with five strong opponents left on the schedule prioi to the 1968 Sectional Tourney. Triton pulled some surprises in the game by not starting two of their strong rebounders in Loren Enders and Don I/mg. However, Jim Stackhouse, playing in place of one of the two. certainly was an asset to the Trojan five. It took just a little while for the teams to get going as the Falcons had missed twice before Triton opened the scoring on an 18 foot set shot by Mike Cook. A b>ng by Craig DeMyer evened this but Dave Reichard hit a long onehander over the Glenn zone from the side. Greg Amor hit a short baseline shot and the Falcons enjoyed their first lead as Jack Ross hit a single free throw. A basket bv Dave Overmyer from 16 fout made it 6-5 Triton before the Falcons moved ahead for the rest of the first half. lairry Groves hit a driving seven footer for a 7-6 lead and DoMyer tossed in a medium depth one-hander. Cook hit for Triton on a rebound shot but Amor put in a short turn-around shot and I FARM BUREAU| INSURANCE | AM Types Os: a Life Insurance Ratirrment Annuities Hospitalization Fire - Anto - IJabiUty f City - Farm And Commercial ▼ Fred Bullinger 0 Phone 566 3339 JOI Monroe Waikrrioi.O 026 U I

then followed with a moving layin from the pivot for a 13-8 lead. Stackhouse, working the baseline against the Falcon zone, hit a lay-in and was fouled to complete a three-point play, but a short baseline shot by Groves after a nice pass from Ross got a hot-shooting string started. Ross hit from the corner and Groves and DeMyer followed with onehanders to open a 21-11 lead. Don Long hit from the left side for Triton, but Groves was hammered on a shot and hit two free shots. The Falcons gained possession again, but a lazy pass was intercepted and a 13 footer by Cook gave the Triton team two points with just two seconds left that could never be made up. This still left the Falcons ahead by a 23-15 score at the end of the first period. Pressure Hurls Triton In the second quarter the Falcons went into a "worry press" which did the job better than coach Beehler could expect. The purpose was to bother the Trojans mon than steal the ball, but Triton chipped in with several bad passes to add to the Falcon momenteum fur a while. Cook hit first from out front, but DeMyer swished one from the l v ft corner and then took a lead pass from St isko for a layin. Stackhouse used a good fake and drive for a Trojan lay-in. but DeMyer ripped the cords one more time from the corner. A free shot by Amor was followed by another DeMyer bullseye and with the clock showing 4:32 left in the first half, the Falcons enjoyed a 34-23 lead. For the way the game was going it seemed impossible the Glenn team could go stale, but that happened right here. The entire brand of play changed just all at once as the tide began to turn and a rut was hit that the Falcons couldn't get out of in time. Stackhouse hit another lay-in and Stoneburner added a single point. Half a minute passed before- Stoneburner hit his first of what was to be several long bombs in this game. Enders put a missed shot back in and all of a sudden the gix»d lead had been sliced to four points. A fast break at the 2:12 mark found Stasko hitting a basket to break the streak, but Stoneburner cut Pxmm* again with his long range missile Stasko added a pair of free shots for a 3b 32 lead only to have Stoneburner get a 14 footer on which he was fouled and he added the third point from the 15 foot line. Another Triton b>ng shot ended the oring In the half with the Falcons now

holding a puny 38-37 margin and showing only one basket and a pair of charity shots in the last four and a half minutes. The third period was something else. It took just three seconds and some careless defense* before Enders put Tnton ahead with c lay-in. He then hit from the middle of the lan* and Stoneburner tossed one in from the baseline for a 43-38 lead as h , th n a minute had passed. However, the Falcons came back just as fast . . . for a little while. DeMyer dropped another from the left corner and Ross hit a 13 fo< t jump shot and a short ba • line basket to return the lead to the Falcons 41-43. Triton then moved ah id for the time although they didn't pull away until the final period. A long shot by Cook changed the lead and then Reichard put one in from outside the circle. Enders got a tip-in and Reichard hit a lay-in. Stackhouse finished this streak with a free throw and it was Amor's lay-in with 3 21 left in the period that broke the string. Gary Trost then hit a free throw on a technical called <>n Stackhouse for protesting a three-second violation. A free shot by Enders and then a basket by the big c« nter opened th* lead to eight before the Falcons made their last go-si effort of tho night to catch up. Ross hit from the side and a free throw was scored by Stackhouse. Ross then hit a lay-in and then a baseline jumper before Tiost stuck in two charity shots and the had was cut to 56 55. A 21 footer by Cook was matched by a fine driving shot by Amor but Stoneburner hit from the baseline to give Triton a 60-57 third quarter lead. With Triton hitting from the outside of the zone, the Falcons were moving out more and m the final stanza, the Trojans began to ripe them apart with layins. Stackhouse hit first from under, but Hugh Geren offset it with a tip-in. Stonebumer was next from behind the zone only to have Roas score once more for the Falcons from the baseline. One of two free shots by Stackhouse was followed by successive baskets by Cook. Stoneburner and Enders an the Trojans opened a 71-61 lead. From this point on Triton killed a lot of time, missed a lot of free throws, but managed to move the ball well and remain unchallenged bv the Falcons in moving to the 81-72 victory, DeMyer Hits 20 Craig DeMyer and Triton's Steve Stoneburner shared game scoring honors as each hit 20 points. DeMyer connected 10 times from the field while Stoneburner had nine baskets and a pair of charity tosses. Enders, the big Triton renter, finished with 19 despite the fact he didn't start and Cook and Stackhouse WHO OFFERS AUTO AND HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE ON A MONTHLY PAYMENT PLAN ■■ I R. W. Johnson Ins.
