Tonight’s wrestling match
faces the Generals against a very
tough Lincoln team. The Cardi
nals lost their state champion
Wayne Karney when he gradu
ated last year but boast a much
better all around team than be
fore. They have no outstanding
wrestlers in any weight but as a
team they are a very tough
match.

G-Men bounce past Demos
by Bruce Fishback
“It was a real good game. The
team shot better than last week
and the defense did a good job,”
commented Coadh Ed Rooney on
the Generals’ 62-54 victory over
Jefferson last Friday night at the
Memorial coliseum.
By dumping the Demos
the eagers upped their
league record to 2-0 and
their total win-loss record
to 8-0. The win over Jeff
placed the G-Men as the
only undefeated PIL team
this year.
“Our scoring was balanced
and our rebounding was the
same. These two things helped
us greatly,” stated Coach Roo
ney. “We used ten men against
Jefferson and our second team
put up a good defense against
them,” he added.
Leading by only three
points at half time, the Gen
erals came back from a poor
first half where they only
hit 33 per-cent of their shots
to a 62 per-cent effort dur
ing the second half.
Leading the scoring for the
Generals was Mike Naylor who
poured in 14 points during the
game. Close behind him was Bill
Flowers who racked up ten for
the eagers.

New Zealanders meet PIL
Claiming nine wins and one
tie, the PIL All Stars, led by
four G-Men, swept past the New
eZaland High School champions
37-13 last Saturday night. The
four: Mike Rienecker, Dave
Gray, Ward Bruner and Larry
Yakymi gained 11 points for the
PIL.
Benson’s Mike Downer
started things for the PIL
by pinning his opponent and
gaining five points for the
All Stars. The next match
found Milo Meskel of Lin
coln moving past his oppo
nent 7-2. New Zealand’s K.
McLaughlan swept past Jim
Liming of Benson 7-0.

Grant’s wrestling team trav
eled to Jefferson last Friday and
by showing strength throughout
the entire match and gaining
vital points from forfeits, they
dumped the Democrats 51-6.
Jefferson’s challenge seemed
unworthy because they forfeited
four matches on the varsity level
which gave the Generals a twen
ty point lead to begin with. Grant
lost only two matches, but these
were very even and the scores
were close. Mike Reineckr, Lar
ry Yakymi, Bill Lott, and Dan
Baisly were the wrestlers who
had forfeits. Jefferson boasted
only nine wrestlers on their
varsity team, and this was the
reason for so many forfeits.

THE GRANTONIAN
feated his opponent with a 6-2
showing. The next match showed
General Dave Gray pinning his
opponent in 1:01 of the first
round. Randy Brasfield of Lin
coln captured the next match by
a fall also.
Mike Reinecker, wrestling
in the 155-pound bracket,
grabbed a win over his op
ponent with a 5-2 effort. In
the next match Ron Lindley
of Cleveland gained a tie
with K. Russell of New
Zealand with a 5-5 showing.
General Ward Bruner
crushed his opponent 8-1.
Dave Aspin of New Zealand
claimed the next match by
defeating General Larry
Yakymi 13-0.
Madison’s Bob Johnson then
came back for the PIL with a
7-1 win over his opponent. In
the next match P. Ragg pinned
Dave Howells of Jefferson. Con
cluding the night’s matches was
the heavyweight match in which
Benson’s Louis Amadoro high

ond pin over his opponent.
Demos by five points. By
picking up two baskets and
a free throw the G-Men
surged to a ten point lead
which the Demos could
never get lower than five.
At one time during the
fourth period Jeff fell as
far back as 11 points but
managed to cut the deficit
to only eight points by the
final buzzer.
Coach Rooney cited Don Lin
coln as being outstanding on the
boards and Bill Flowers as do
ing a good job while being sick.
He also cited Mike Naylor as
being steady throughout the
game. “We were very pleased
with our play against Jefferson,”
concluded Mr. Rooney.
Tonight the Generals face Lin
coln at Grant. Lincoln is not
considered one of the better
teams in the league and are
rated toward the bottom. After
last Friday’s action the Cardi
nals held a 0-2 record.
