OOO The 1932 season opened with two non-conference games with Bridgewater which the Tigers won handily by scores of 20 to 35, and 31 to 62. The first team, with the exception of the guard position, subsequently filled by Marsh. was the same that won the 1931 Conference Championship. The first confer- ence game, played with Yankton, was finally converted into a Tiger victory with a score of 30 to 39. The next night the Wesleyan quint rolled up a 47 point score to that of 37 points gained by South Dakota State in a game which was fast from start to finish. Mines, 30 to 58, and Spearfish, 14 to 77, were the next victories of the Tiger attack. , Tumeaeavvt-:L-ED 1933 Page 82 ff Q Ill! ill H V 'fl :Ai V 1 li li xl ill 1 1 ll ll 1 I 1 1 Fl 2 Pal ' s

K lJ'j,0 fJ M 1 lf J KVA CAPTAIN FRANcis PETE HOLGA L was an able leader for the greatest team in Tiger history. His playing ability is shown by the fact that for the past three years he has received either first or second All-Conference ratings. THE SEASON ON THE COURT The 1932 Tiger quint finished the greatest basketball season any South Dakota team has ever had, by winning its third consecutive Conference Cham- pionship and then advancing to the quarter finals of the National A. A. U. Basketball Tournament at Kansas City. Ex-Captain Fishbeck, Beier, Mackey, and Marsh were selected on the all-conference first team and Holgate, placing on the second team, missed this honor by a narrow margin. Beier, captain- elect, was high point man of the Conference, approaching a new record by scoring 191 points, or 17 4,!11 per game. Nineteen consecutive games were won before the Tiger live was defeated in an overtime period at the National Tournament by the Schuessler A. C. of Chicago. fft f ..ff+5'3fWtf I, ,, if tlffwiwltvyg if I PAX t lf 1-TW , f Myybd OOO -H57 TUMBLEWEED 1933 it , 522 '- Page 81 A +JffQiv Y qu
