Harold Browne and Harold Petz

Coach Presnell completed and
passed his physical examination to
the navy and his papers have been
forwarded to Washington, the
Omaha navy recruiting office an

turns from a surprisingly strong
Grinncll five to a wcil-ndvoi -i'rod
tough club from Drake in its last
prc-holiday basketball game.
The Pioneers tossed a 37 to 30
surprise for the Cyclones in the
first game played in the new
Grinncll gymnasium Monday
night. Drake invades State gynr
nasium Friday night.
"Grinnell was a good club Mon
day," said Coach Louis Menze.
'They had speed, and they were
hittincr too regularly for us. The
game further emphasized our lack
of donth and size, though. We
aren't big as Big Six teams go,
"We definitely lack size but I
feel wc may be able to make up
for that to some extent with
ficht." Menze continued. "This is
one of the scrappiest teams we've
ever had here at Iowa btatc.
The play of Ray Wehde, for
ward ..:.clstein; R:"'.. I "v. -
ler, center from Carruil, and Ron
Norman,, guard from Fairfield,
served to clinch first team spots
for the trio. At the other for-
rwfird and guard positions Menze
will continue experimenting witn
several evenly matched players.
Roy Wehde, Bob Hayes, Mark
Mcis, forwards, and Rub Mickel
son, Gene Oulman, Royal Lohry,
and Charles Gradoville, guards,
are in the thick of the fight for
the jobs.
