Spectacular Catch Made in
Game Here Saturday

A forward pass caught by Lund OF
Plentywood In the football game
here Saturday against Sidney will
possibly never be equalled on the
gridiron.
A signal for a pass was called IN
the last few minutes of play. Lund
went charging down the right side
of the field. Zeidler throwing a per
feet spiral, shouted to Lund for the
catch. Lund did not hear the shout
and kept on going down the field.
The ball travelled directly at Lund
and hit him on the back OF the head.
The ball bounded directly upward
and Lund, stopping dead in his
tracks, scanned the sky for a fraction
OF a second for the oval, made the
catch and raced down the field for
a nice gain.

High School Team Has
Chance for District Honors

With their goal line yet to be
crossed in district competition the
Plentywood high school football
team Is still in the running for the
district championship.
Tomorrow the eleven goes to Gull
lbertson to Play. Culbertson won
from Scobey last Friday 7 to 0 In
the last 80 seconds of the game.
They have been defeated and tied
once with Sidney, 7 to 0 and 6 to 6.
In the event the wildcats" can
stop Culbertson, 1t Is a matter OF
conjecture who will be the opponents
of Poplar for the district champion
ship. Sidney has as good a record
as PlentyWood. Although Poplar
has been practically declared "undis
puted" champions 1t Is believed g
game will be scheduled to decide the
honors.

support OF the President and give
him an opportunity, through a friend

INDIANA LEADS
HOUSING drive,
HOKE REVEALS
State Tops District in Bank
Cooperation and Total
of Loans.

Indiana stands first in banking
cooperation and total OF bank loans
made under the better housing pro-
gram in the five districts OF the
Federal Housing Administration,
Region 7, Fred Hoke. FILA state
director. announced today.
The report from regional head
quarters in Chicago pointed out,
however. that the total amount of
loans made in the Chicago district
exceeds IndianaS total and the
average amount Of loans made in
that district is considerably higher
than in Indiana.
Comparative figures for the five
districts of Indiana. Kentucky, Wis
cousin. Northern and Southern Hi
nois show that Indiana leads the
region in the number of banks CO.
operating inquiries and applications
for loans. and in loans granted.
Mr.. Hoke said that these statis-
tics show only about 35 per cent
of the modernization and repair
work created in the state by the
housing program since they do not
include the money loaned by insti-
tutions not insured under the FILA
plan. He estimated the total vol
ume of construction work being
done in Indiana under FILA stimu-
luS as nearly 100000.
I'VE are receiving reports daily
Of improvement in conditions grow
ing out of this building program"
Mr.. Hoke said. In many Indiana
cities. skilled building trades work.
men are so busy that it is impossible
to engage one for immediate work.
This is definite proof that en-
ployment and general business con-
ditions in Indiana are feeling the
stimulus of the federal housing
program. AS it gains momentum
much greater improvement may be
expected"
