Not so many years ago girls in
terScholaStic athletics were elimin-
ated in the valley, that is in every
sport but tennis. where the girls
and boys formed a single team to
play against other valley schools.
The tennis coaches were landed
for their efforts in keeping the
girls half OF the team intact and
thereby giving them a taste of
interScholastic competition.
Because the girls team meant just
as much in attaining a victory as
the boys. all valley schools were
forced to keep up the strength of
the girls squad.
This season. however, the coach
es voted. for reasons apparently
unknown. to divide the girls and
boys and have two separate tennis
teams.
That means Of course that the
valley schools. with the possible ex-
ception of El Centre, will forget
their girls teams and concentrate
on the boys squads.
First one team will drop the girls
eff. then a second will follow, and
in year or two the girls team will
be dropped all together.
Maybe there was a reason for
the change. Perhaps one or two
coaches didn't want to bother with
a girls team. But the Bench Warm
ers advises a reconsideration
The girls are entitled to an equal
break, an equal break that they
will not get in most schools. now
that the division has been made.

drainage between Fort Benton ana
Fort Peck from the Musseishell, Ju-

059 200 acre feet Of water from drain
age area Of 81 ,480 square miles.
To give a person an idea OF how
much moisture runs off each year Mr..
Monson was asked to figure how long
1t would take TO fiji the Fort Peck dam
With the run-off from the area above
FORT Benton. The capacity Of the Fort
Peck reservoir, he states, is 10 500 900
acre feet. The mean annual run-off
at Fort Benton-on the basis Of rec
ords for 35 years-is $500, 900 acre feet
On that basis the reservoir could be
filled with about three years flow at
Fort Benton.
The maximum flow in any one year
was 100000 acre feet and the mini
mum 5000 900 acre feet. Two years
at the maximum rate or six years at
the minimum would be required TO
fill the dam. However, the present
plans require that maximum 9-foot

dam, which would require some Of the
annual runoff.
Approximately 90 percent Of the an
nual rInoff, or 3, 820, 900 acre feet, above
Fort Benton occurs between April /
and Sept. &c. The remaining 40 per-
cent runs off between Oct. and

the drainage area south Of there, is
154 inches The average annual pre-

On this basis Mr.. Monson calcu-

that the enrolment at the hugh

High Glass Official

AS the baseball season is drawing
to close in Libby, it is a fitting
time to say a word of commenda-
ton in behalf of the good work done
by his jumps, Bill Dedic. Dedic
is as good umpire as one will
generally find officiating in nom
professional games. He has umpired
most of Libby's big games for the
past three or four years, and during
that time has worked up fine rep
utation and loyal following of
fans. He calls the plays as he sees
them without fear or favor, his de-
cisions are impartial, and they ring
out loud enough SO that they can be
heard easily by the fans. A good
umpire has an important part in
making baseball game interesting
and the Libby team and Libby fans
are fortunate in having as good ar
official as Dedic.
