It was a great season, beginning September l0 against South Sioux City in a 13-0 affair and ending at Norfolk with a score of 12- 0. No one scored over one touchdown against the Charnps and four opponents were held scoreless. The Bucks bowled over opponents with scores such as: Madison, 6-03 Huron, 32-65 Vermillion, 12-Og Mitchell, 25-6, Watertown, Z0-7. Cast as the underdog in their homecoming the giant grid machine, under the skilled eyes of good coaches, buckled down with grim determination and pro- ceeded to defend their E.S.D. crown against the nurnber one contender, Aberdeen. Again they came out on top. With a hornecoming game under their belts they rolled on over Vermillion, Brookings, Mitchell, Watertown, and Norfolk. 46 Mr. Overskei receives the E.S.D.

The start of the 1954-55 Buck basketball season found Mr. Overskei with four re turning lettermen and it looked like we might go a long way in basketball. But the Bucks were plagued by injuries as Dick Beers and Bill Van Epps had to have opera tions, George Donohoe was out two weeks due to illness, and John Boyles still suffered from a broken arm received in football. Yankton won the first game of the sectional beating Scotland 67-40. But tragedy struck once more and Parkston beat Yankton in the final game 85-65. The next season looks a little brighter with five returning let termen.

The Overskei cindermen opened the 1955 track season at the University of South Dakota invita- tional meet entering such events as the relays, hurdles, dashes, and shot put. The next week saw them at the Norfolk Track Meet where they did very well. The next few Saturdays were busy for the Bucks as they had an invitational meet at home: attended the Corn Palace Relays: picked up a few points in the Dakota Relays and won the Region VII crown. In the Conference Meet the Buck thinclads racked up Z5 points for 3rd place. During the season John Boyles broke the Y.H.S. 100 yard dash record and tied the Dakota Relays record in the same race. His record time was 10 flat. Also the mile-relay team came within a few tenths of a second of the Y.H.S. record but could not muster enough to break it. gf? W a T e U.S.D.
