Football [Continued Augustana, was played in a downpour of rain, but this condition did not effect the fine play of our boys. Enough credit cannot be given the Braves for their work in this game. Every player was sensational. Sub Zero Gale Mars Play Yankton was played in a sub-zero gale of wind which made play uncertain and very difficult. The Greyhounds crossed the goal line on a twisting, side-stepping run by Bill Gaynor, an All-Conference halfback. The Braves seemed to have developed a mania for blocking punts, so they continued this art by smothering two of Postulka ' s trys and garner- ing four points. Rost, the Braves ' popular tackle just missed recovering one of the blocked kicks for a touchdown. Yankton retaliated to fall on a kick that went back ' over the head of the Brave kicker and past the end zone. The final score was 9 to 4 in favor of the Greyhounds. The following week the Braves boarded a bus bound for Rapid City, where the School of Mines, defeated by Augustana 6 to 0, was to be played. The mountain air most certainly- agreed with the Olsenmen because they ran wild over the Mines gridders to the tune of 19 to 6. Th linemen opened up canyons for the backs to romp through for long gains. Tackling viciously and covering pass receivers like hawks, the Braves held the Miners in check but for one lax moment, when the Hardrocker ' s quarterback scampered untouched to the goal line. It would be impossible to pick a star in the Sioux Brave lineup. They were a team, not a group of individuals. Two Earn All Conference Morningside of the North Central Conference was the final opponent, but were so far superior that they appeared able to score at will. The Braves threatened to score but once when they reached the 8-yard line only to fumble and drop the chance. Bing at a great disadvantage in weight and reserve strength, the Braves should not be criticized for the one-sided score of 54 to 0. A great bunch of boys make up the 1932 football squad at Sioux Falls college. Of this group the following were awarded letters: Captain John Gibson and Richard Bauer, the seniors; Captain-elect Ollie Abraham and Bob Rayl, the two boys to receive first team All- conference honors; Trevor Carnahan, James Maher, Roy Kentfield, Walter Rice, Kenneth Rost, Bob Norris, Mike Strahon, Marvin Helfert, Otis Barr, Bob Winter, Julius Werle, Bill Potticary, Philip Peirce, and Grant Farnsworth.

Uatf muck. Just to say the Werle was an effec- tive blocker and speedy ball carrier tells the story. His ability to throw bullet passes with accuracy made Helfert one of the outstanding passers in the con- ference. Leckner possessed great stick-to-i iveness. His day on the squad is ne£ at hand. •it- near Jake — More power and determina- tion per cubic inch than any other man on the squad. Bob Rayl employed smart, alert, hard but clean play — that ' s why the coaches named him all-conference end. Ollie Abraham can take plenty, give plenty in return, and that ' s why the lettermen named him captain of the next season ' s eleven. How does he rate? All-conference guard, of course.

Gibbs demonstrated his ability as a guard — a consistent trainer and good sport. To Hughes, Kentfleld, Iverson, and Vopat goes much of the credit for the making of a foot- ball team. Although they re- ceive little credit for their work, they form the secondary by which Coach Olsen devel- oped his hardhitting squad. Without these secondary men, the development of first Stringers would be an impos- sible task. Elusive Squeak was credited with many of the long gains made this year. Bauer — Agility received through tennis playing made him a valuable fullback. Rice — Does in action what others do in words. Being able to pass a football from center accurately, and then MOVE an opponent is a tough job. Winter ' s tough. That ' s why he can do it.
