SOUTHWEST IOWA CHAMPIONS Graceland's basketball team added its contribution to the success of the athletic year by winning the majority of its games and capturing the South- western Iowa Iunior College championship. The nucleus of this year's team was made of former captain, Beans Iones, Bill Hamann, Captaing George Briggs, Glenn Iacobson, Bert King, Alma Smith, and Ray Linehan of the 1931 squad and Ned Iacobson, Monroe I-Iills, Bill Gould, and Iohn Green, all new men. The team worked very well together, and had fight and determination which were big factors in its success this year. It started the season by losing to a more experienced Iowa Wesleyan team 28-18. It hit its stride in the Clarinda game and defeated them 29-24. In its next encounter the Yellow Iackets overcame Chillicothe 35-28 for the first time in the seven consecutive years they have met. Creston was the next victim of the team of Grace- landers, going down to defeat by a 39-19 score. Hitting a slump, the Graceland team was defeated, though it went down to defeat fighting, by Clarinda 27-25, Creston 34-32, Albia 48-21, St. Ioseph Iunior College 42-32 at Graceland and 25-21 at St. Ioseph. The peak of the season was reached when Graceland wallopped the strong Albia five by a 35-23 score and then went to Osceola to win the Southwestern Iowa Iunior College Championship from Creston, Red Oak, Clarinda, Osceola, Des Moines Catholic, and Chariton. In the opening round of the tournament Chariton defeated Red Oak, Creston beat Osceola, and Graceland drew a bye, while Clarinda won by default from Des Moines Catholic. In the second round Chariton defeated Creston, and Graceland defeated Clarinda. In the final round Graceland won from Chariton 28-25 in a game which was won in the last three minutes by a fighting and determined quintet. 4l
