It just appears that this Glenn team should not be held under 40 points by any team in the state of Indiana, but once again the Falcons let their opponents dictate the tempo of the game and even though it is not a stall game, working for the g»K>d shot does run a lot of time oft the clock, but the complete control LaVille had of the tempo and their dominance against a much larger Falcon team on the boards through great positioning and desire, more than made the difference In fact, the score could have been worse at the end as the chasing Glenn defense allowed the lancers several gi>od chances underneath they blew and they shot rather poorly from the foul line in the entire game. The early stages didn't present much surprise except that the lancers were willing to move the ball up and down the floor a little faster than expected. They scored the game's two first baskets as Rich Whiteman and Terry Adkins penetrated the Falcon defense for lay ins. After Joe Harness hit a medium lenght baseline shot, LaVille missed four straight free throws that would have let them open an early lead. However, Jeff J inkey put Glenn ahead with first a pair of one-pointers and then an 8 footer from the side After Brian Allen tipped in a missed shot to tie

the score, Harness hit a lay-in and Mike Aitken added a pair of free throws. Mike Elkin doubled the score on LaVille with a baseline jumper, but Dennis Foust, given a chance to play by two LaVille injuries. and Phil Groves traded baskets and it was Glenn 14, LaVille 8 after one period. Groves basket had come with almost a minute left and the Falcons did not score in the first three and a half minutes of the second stanza. In the meantime, Allen took the second quarter tip for an uncontested lay-in as no defense was played on the jump. Over a minute passed before Adkins hit from 17 foot and Whiteman then tied the score at the 4:46 mark with a 14 footer. Glenn again jumped to a four point lead on a 16 footer from the circle by Tinkey and two charity tosses by Mark Jacobson. However, two free shots by Allen and a three-point play by Adkins on a lav in. pushed the Lancers in front 19 18. Pat Franklin hit a 13 footer for Glenn w ith just :52 showing on the clock for only their second basket of the perii»d. Elkin converted a steal into a solo lay-in with just 14 ticks left on the clock and it was still Glenn. 22-19 at the main intermission. From here on out the Lancers really controlled the play. With Allen doing a very tight job on Tinkey on defense, and the rest of their man-to-man helping each other out, they put a real slowdown on the Falcons offense and some poor shot selection and not much organized offense resulted. Glenn had two five point leads early as Harness hit the second half’s first basket and after Foust converted a 12 footer from the lane. Groves flipped a short baseline shot over an outstretched hand and in to lead 26-21. This came with less than a minute and a half gone and the Fal-

cons hit another dry spell at this point that found the Lancers only creeping back, but really in charge of the tempo. Whiteman and Foust hit about a half minute apart and then neither team scored for two and a half minutes before Jacobson converted a short baseline shot. Whiteman matched this from long on the side, but Aitken pegged in an 8 footer. Another outside shot by Whiteman was followed by two free throws by Foust in the final minute to give LaVille a 31 30 lead heading into the last stanza. Tinkey scored first and his presence on the floor was almost nuiified by the job Allen was doing on him, especially on the .'side. A free throw in two attempts by Foust tied it and at the 6:07 mark Allen hit a lay-in that gave the Lancers a lead they never lost. Foust got a tip in a minute later and only one of two free throws by Tinkey was scored by the Falcons until Groves hit a lay-in off a steal with less than three minutes to play and Glenn trailing by five. At one point shortly before this, Glenn missed three shots right under the basket almost completely uncontested aft-

era steal and fast break gave two Falcons half the floor to themselves. Adkins, who had been taken from the floor earlier in this quarter with a banged-up leg. came back to get a lay-in with 2:12 left and after Tinkey matched this shortly after, a pair of Allen free throws and another Adkins lay-in beating the pressing Falcon defense bad, put the game on ice. It was an unimportant free throw by Foust and Harness's lav-in in the final 16 seconds that set the final score. LaVille had only four boys score, all in double figures. Sophomore Foust hit 14 points, with Akins having 11 and Whiteman and Allen 10 each. The Falcons were led by Tinkey with 11 and no other double figure was reached by a Glenn player. B-Team Loses Thriller A shot just ahead of the gun by LaVille's Rich Shamo. from 20 foot, put a heartbreaking loss on the Falcon B-Team 50-49 in the preliminary game. The Falcons had just taken a one-point lead on a pair of Spencer Wilcox free throws with 18 seconds left and then forced a jump ball at the LaVille offensive
