MUSCATINE 85-82 Meeting the Indians for the second time ofthe year, the Birds fought much harder, but again fell short by three. The game was not decided until the ten seconds on a steal for a lay-up by the Indians. BURLINGTON 96-78 Burlington proved to be a much stronger team, and had little trouble with the Falcons, as they cruised to a victory. There seems to be some kind of a jinx on the Birds when these two teams meet. GRAND VIEW 84-85 With key players hurt, reserve Mike OB O'- Brien came through with a good game to help support the Falcons win. Mark Hiller's last sec- ond basket made the score 85-84. FORT DODGE 84-62 Iowa Central of Fort Dodge out scored the Birds 28-8 in the first eight minutes of the game and our shooting was never to come. The Iowa Central team blew the Falcons off the court. ELLSWORTH 96-72 Ellsowrth, who at the time was I0-O, kept on rolling as they showed the Birds the art of win- ning. The loss of Mark Hiler with a dislocated thumb hurt the Birds. Tony Galbreath put forth forth a good effort with 22 points. CLARINDA 97-84 Clarinda took advantage of a shooting cold spell by the Falcons to avenge a early loss in the season. It was a close, hard fought game until a live minute cold spot cost the Birds the game. ROBERT MORRIS 94-81 Robert Morris, one of the most physical teams in the league, gave the Birds a beating. The Fal- cons fire power fell short in the second half and were downed 94-81.

7 1- MUSCATINE 74-71 The Muscatine Indians took a few feathers out of the Birds as they just slipped by us. The Birds seemed quite depressed to lose back to back games. Hiller collected 27 points for the night. GRAND VIEW 86-90 After a break in the action, Christmas vacation, the Birds came back to down Grand View. Rest is what the Birds had needed, and we responded with an upset. DRAKE 86-79 Drake's freshmen scored a victory when the Birds didn't play 211 full strength. With Wayne Hetzler out with a bad ankle and Randy Henry recovering from a cut over his right eye, the Falcons hope ran dry. The reserves put on a fine show, however. CRESTON 92-112 The Falcons cleared the century mark for the first time this year in a victory over Creston. The Birds shot numerous lay-ups off a weak press. Randy Henry scored 41 and Wayne Herz- ler had 18 points.

ELLSWORTH 60-87 The Falcons longest winning streak was two un- til we got an upset victory over Ellsworth. The night was full ofjoy and questions. The Fal- cons had waited for this night to happen. Mark Hiller collected 22 points, Tony Galbreath had 20, and Randy Henry contributed 15. DRAKE 96-100 Drake, weaker due to the loss of their center, fell to the Birds in a game oflittle defense. Randy Henry led the way with 34, and Tony Galbreath with 22. MT. MERCY COLLEGE 97-124 ln a wild, out of order game where very little defense was played, the Birds cruised to victory. This made it three wins in a row. The Falcons had balanced scoring. Hiller led with 26, Henry and Galbreath each had 22, and Wayne Hetzler had 20. The continuing story of Coach Quentin King . . . A .
