Indians Split Games

Last Friday and Saturday. the high
school squad journeyed TO Chinook
and Fort Benton for the first Eastern
trip.
In the Chinook game Friday night
Browning won 2O-l9 This was a slow
game with poor shooting The Indi-
ans were slow on their feet throwing
away points that could be made good
by fast breaks. Careless passes and
travelling held the boys down to a
small margin keeping ahead of the
Sugarbeeters by one or two points all
the way. Browning was doing a nice
Job of getting rebounds and the last
two losses saved the day for Brown
ing.
Saturday Browning played the Fort
Benton Longhorns and was defeated
80 to IS. The Chinook game wasn't
bad enough so the Indian lads tried
a little harder to make themselves
worse. During the entire first three
periods Browning was dead on their
feet and didn't show anymore fight
than a bunch of old mossbacks. They
came out of II little in the last min
utes. but to no avail. The LonghornS
had their start.

With favorable reception no official
word has been received.
The project if put in effect would
undoubtedly afford some of the me-
Chemically inclined men an opportuni-
ty to put their talents into action and
would have favorable results 1t is
reported that the amount desired
would require about 5000 with which
to finance this plan. The amount
would be reimbursed upon employ
ment o. the twenty persons who are
chosen and each would pay the sum
which they borrowed People who ar
que in defense of this plan maintain
that the Tribal Council has thus far
assisted the rancher. stockmmen. and
farmer but have completely failed t

expected TO act favorably upon the
