The original roster of the Bears did not include Pape and players on the Bears' squad that year denied Pape had been a member. (5)

			The Bears continued to play through 1932 when they captured the season opener against the Guttenberg Bears in October and then played the Governor Gray Eleven. (6) A Thanksgiving Day football game to have been played in Cresco did not occur. The Cresco manager arranged the game and agreed on the Bear's price, which were later raised and again agreed to by Cresco. The Cresco field had an estimated 150 paid admissions, but the Dubuque team did not appear as promised. The Cresco team divided and played a game anyway, and then refunded the admissions. "It is a sure thing that it (no appearance) put a black ball on the Bears in this football territory." (7)
