Fredrickson was continually spraininq his thumb durinq practice—Brekke's solution was to shoot it off as he had done . . . Duane Brekke and Clarence Niemeier rated positions on the South Central first team and Chuck Breqel and Captain Mark Raabe placed on the second team . . . because of the marvelous spirit of teamwork amonq the players and the excellent coachinq of Hank Thompson. 1948 was considered to be an outstanding season . . . the second team came throuqh their season undefeated, with Richard Weech. a new member of the faculty, acting as their coach.
