A star in four sports, is the record of Hoot Gibson. Coming to Sioux Falls College as a Junior he has been captain of football team, letterman, basketball and tennis. Coming to the front in the closing games of the season, Shimkat demon- strated clearly his right to a varsity booth in his first year on the squad. Franny Peckham, another fresh- man star, formed a part of the un- usual reserve strength on which Coach Olsen relied to keep his team in front. Although Clare saw little service in games, he was a diligent trainer and was an important cog in the develop- ment of a winning team. Diminutive Squeak Farnsworth, playing his second year on the varsity, saw considerable service at forward position. His high-arched shots found the hoop. Brick Harrington is another of the freshmen, a player in the making. Lacking experience to match that of his teammates he served as an under- study in guard position. • w amtrnjotbd Gusard %

Basketball [Continued] Tigers Win in Close Game Dakota Wesleyan, the conference champion, stopped S. F. C. on the home court 33 to 29. The two teams were evenly matched and provided a game that gave the spectators more than their money ' s worth. A fast offense, a tight defense, and accurate passing and shooting were featured by both clubs. By the score of 33 to 27, Spearfish was defeated by a hard fighting team of warriors. Jack Harrington ' s 16 points were good enough for honors. Frantz led the Braves to their next victory over Yankton when he gave a fine exhibition of basketball while connecting with four field goals and a gift shot. The affair was fast but not very well played, both teams appearing rather wild. In the best game of the season, State College handed the Braves their second defeat 32 to 30. What a game? The Olsenmen clicked, all of them, and they forced the Jack- rabbits to the limit. The Braves ' shots and passes were accurate as arrows, and the rabbits were chased so closely that they could get in the open but few times. Braves Smother Augies in Return Game The Vikings of Augustana were trounced decisively in the second meeting. Sioux Falls College collected 32 while the Norsemen were getting 23. Helfert and Brennan led the point getters with Rayl outstanding defensively. The Purple and White in this game clearly established superiority over their neighbors. That tells the story when Eastern was smothered at Madison 38 to 20. Helfert, Rayl, and Peirce led the attack although every member of the squad rang up counters at will. Hall was best for Eastern. Revenging two defeats of last year, the boys put down the Telegraphers of Le Mars 38 to 26. There was no question of the outcome throughout the game but was a very in- teresting one to watch. Again the score was well distributed with Brennan leading. Brilliant Playing Marks Mines Contest Down went the Hardrockers from the School of Mines. Score 29 to 27. The Braves again displayed fine work as a quintet and can be proud of their exhibition. With a high ranking in sight, the boys were playing brilliantly and were determined that they should not be denied any possible distinction. In this fray, Rayl and Peirce led the attack for Sioux Falls with McCrary and Buus best for the Mines. The Olsenmen entered the Southern game knowing that they must defeat their rivals to finish in the runners-up position. A victory had to be scored and consequently it was, but not without first playing a hard game and exhibiting a high class brand of basketball. Peirce, Harrington, and Helfert were high point getters with Rayl and Brennan shining on defense. Ninety-four

Top Row: Barr, Rice, Harrington, Wold, Clare. Bottom Row: Hughes, Taylor, Iverson, Kentfield Intramural Basketball In the interclass league the Freshmen unquestionably proved their superiority in winning both the first and second half of the cage race. During the first half of the season they ran up high scores and were seldom pushed to strenuous play. The second half of the season showed renewed vigor and stiff competition offered on the part of all teams. Erwin Iverson lead the winning cagers. Ninety-six
