R O G R E S S Coach Francis Olsen Director of Athletics Serving Sioux Falls College eleven years, four as one of the most outstanding athletes that ever donned a purple and white suit, and seven very successful years as Athletic Director, is the record of Coach Francis Olsen. He not only is a favorite with his many atheltes, but is ever ready to help the students with their many troubles. Coach Olsen ' s teams are always noted and respected for the true sportsmanship that he has so faithfully drilled in his teams. The teams took defeat and victory with the same high esteem, and would rather lose the contest than to play un- sportsmanship like game. Coach Olsen ' s Sioux Braves copped second honors in two major sports the past season. To start the year off they ran Yankton college a very close second in the conference track meet, and took the Yankton invitational to become the only school in history to defeat the Greyhounds in their own kennels. With a very few precious breaks the Braves would have won the basketball crown in the final conference last winter. Taking both ends of the Augustana count always make a successful cage season for the Braves. Dropping a game by a small margin to the Champion Dakota Wesleyan university and similar count to Huron and Northern kept the Braves down in second place. Eighty-three
