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.

R O G R E S S Basketball Captain Bob Rayl Being all-conference end in football, all-conference guard in basketball, and captain of the runner-up 1932-33 court team are but a few of the laurels Bob has won for himself. Can any better tribute be paid Bob than to say that he wins without boasting and loses without crying? He is a Junior and to what heights he will rise next year is a prominent question on the campus. The Season The completion of the 1932-33 basketball season found Sioux Falls College holding runners-up honors in the state conference, the highest ranking ever to be boasted by the school, and if you believe in signs, the title of South Dakota Intercollegiate Champions will next year be housed in Sioux Falls College, the first time in the institution ' s history, because the school ' s ranking has shot up one step each season since 1928. Added to this honor is a third place standing in the National A. A. U. district tournament at Yankton, S. D., the team being defeated only by the Sioux City five, winners of the tournament. A fine well balanced group of young men answered Coach Francis Olsen ' s call for Braves to represent the college on the basketball court. Captain Bob Rayl and Jack Harrington were, however, the only regulars of the preceding season, but Bill Brennan, Philip Peirce, Grant Farnsworth, and Ev Little, diminutive reserves of last year, and Johnny Gibson, who had played considerably, were again on hand to make bids for positions, as well as Bob Winters, star of the 1931-32 Fizz Ed five. Newcomers Bolster Cage Hopes The newcomers were good enough in themselves for any college team. Marvin Helfert, Carl Frantz, Ed Shimkat, Francis Peckham, and Sonny Clare are their names; all of them good sized and versatile. Coach Olsen ' s chief problem was to find the most effective combination and it seemed evident that no matter who was chosen, a fine team with unusual reserve strength would be had. Big Gus Helfert at center, Jack Harrington and Bill Brennan as forwards, and Fuzz Peirce and Capt. Peirce and Capt. Rayl at the guard positions started the majority of the contests, but were ably assisted by Carl Frantz, capable of playing any position, Johnny Gibson and Winters at guard, and Shimkat, Peckham, Farnsworth, Clare, and Little as reserve forwards. Is Well Coached Team The Olsenmen were coached to employ a fast breaking offense and a man to man defense, along with clever tip-off, out-of-bounds, and set plays, all of which worked to perfection. As the season progressed Sioux Falls College appeared one of the best coached teams in the conference. Ninety-one
