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

Football Captain John Gibson Coming to SFC from Grand Island College, Neb., Johnny has given this school two years of distinguished service in football, basketball, and tennis. Gibson holds the honor of being football captain-elect of Grand Island College and Captain at SFC. He is a courageous and spirited leader, and at all times has the respect and confidence of his team mates. A finer man or athlete will not be found registered on the books of Sioux Falls College. The Season The referee blows his whistle. Captain Gibson raises his arm to signal that his team is ready for action, — and then, the kick-off! The ball goes end over end straight into the arms of Vopat, freshman halfback playing his first game for Sioux Falls college. The Braves interference forms, and the ball carrier cuts over to the side line. He ' s up to the 30 yard line and being run out of bounds on the 35 yard striper. — A nice return. The Purple and White are huddling. Now they are lining up unbalanced to the right, with Helfert, big freshman passing specialist, back. The ball is snapped by W inter, hard fighting sophomore center, to Captain Gibson, converted from tackle to fullback, crashing over little Ollie Abraham, who opens a nice hole allowing Gibson to pick up five yards. Second down; five to go; a plunge off tackle; no gain; a sweeping end run; good for three yards. Fourth down. Werle, clever sophomore, back; kicks a low spiral rolling out of bounds on the opponents 18 yard line. Braves Win Opener 7—6 Sheldon Junior college tries two running plays with little gain. They kick. The play see-saws back and forth. Sioux Falls has the ball on Sheldon ' s 15-yard line. The ball comes to Squeak Farnsworth, shifty pony back, who comes around right end. There is some pretty blocking going on out there, and Farnsworth gets into the clear. Yes, he ' s over for a touchdown! Potticary, freshman place-kicking artist, trys for the point. It ' s wide. Sioux Falls 6 — Sheldon 0. From this point, the Braves showed clearly their superiority over the Sheldon boys. Coach Francis Olsen substituted frequently to find out the ability of his new men. Walter Rice, freshman end, showed clearly that he was to be one of the finest ends in the conference. Otis Barr and Roy Kentfield demonstrated that they would be strong con- tenders for regular berths. Other new-comers giving good accounts of themselves were: Taylor, Rauk, Harris, Vest, Gibbs, Little, Vickerman, Huisinga, Potticary, Harrington, in the line; and Iverson, Vopat, Helfert and Bauer in the backfield. Jim Hughes, elusive freshman back was unable to play due to a sprained ankle. All of the gridders who were members of the squad last year displayed a high class brand of football. The group in- Eighty-jour
