Three times did this sicken- ing process occur and three times did the alert Braves compensate by long drives over the pay-off area but after the final kickoff return by Yankton, Putnam skirted the end for the winning margin for the invaders. Captain Webb, Signal-barker Corning, Sheggrud, Farnham and Watters looked best in the Braves' punch department, although the entire squad won admiration. On October 16, the Sioux Braves came through for their first victory of the season and also their long-overdue homecoming win. Fighting against the Western Union Golden Eagles in ankle-deep mud and snow, Mankowski's tribe showed remarkable determination in this Tepee Day classic to over- power the Eagles 14-0 and start their comeback trail. On the following week-end an obscure freshman, Elmer Hofer, turned almost inevitable defeat at the hands of the Mankato Teachers into vic- tory in the final five minutes of play. Mankato scored first in the initial quarter and seemed headed for another tally in the last quarter when Corning intercepted a pass and directed Rookie Hofer back to within eight yards of the Purple and White goal where Sheggrud took it over twice for 7 points and a meagre 7-to-6 victory for the Tribe. Back in the conference race, the following week the Braves journeyed to Springfield to defeat the hitherto undefeated and conference-leading Southern normal Pointers, 12-7. It was a bitterly fought contest, with the Braves holding the upper hand throughout, but welcoming the final whistle. After matching yard for yard with the Augustana Vikings for the first quarter, the Braves succumbed to the more experienced Norsemen as the game progressed and were downed 26 to 6. Outstanding courage and de- termination against superior odds showed that the Sioux were a team that fought the whole distance. A decisive 30-0 victory over the Worthington Junior College Jaysees completed the successful gridiron campaign with every member of the squad seeing action.
