Browning Triumphs Over
Whitefish Bulldogs

Browning avenged an earlier de-
feat bv Whitefish by swamping
them 30 to 81 on the local maple
wood last Friday night.
The Indians started fast and
gained a 8 to l lead in the first
quarter and led throughout the
game by . substantial margin, at
the half the score being IA to 7
for Browning.
In the third stanza the White.
fish team pulled up to within
three points of the Indians but
the Bulldogs bid for victory was
not quite enough as the Indians
put on a scoring spree that swept
them to a overwhelming victory.
A marked characteristic of this
game was that the Indians kept
up a continuous assault whereas
in other games they have had to
come from behind. Browning
was beaten decisively in t h ir
first encounter at Whitefish but
this time they completely out
classed their rivals.

State Income Tax
Returns Heaviest

More state income tax returns
will he filed during the next sixty
days than have been filed in any
preceding year according to the
State Board of Equalization in
Helena,
The high spot in prior wears
was reached in 1941 when 2s per
cent more returns were filed than
in 1910. This years increase is
expected to equal or exceed the
increase of last year. This larger
increase in the number of returns
to be filed is due to the greater
production of farm commodities
combined with higher prices.
l94l is expected to produce the
largest income tax revenue since
the adoption of the Income Tax
Law in 1888.
An income tax school was hold
in the Office at Helena. January
30 and 81. Every available audi.
tor connected with the State
Board of Equal cation was in

'Old Rivals Behind
Throughout Game;
Final Score 1929
MEETS FORT
BENTON SAT.

Wednesday evening Browning
encountered the Shelby Coyotes
here and finally came out of their
shells and went on a scoring ram
page for the first tine and poured
baskets through the hoop at a clip
better than a point a minute to
shellack Shelby by the tuneful
score of 40 to 20.
Shelby made the first basket
but thereafter Browning tied it
up and forged ahead and never
was behind. Browning led II to
8 at the quarter and at the half
the Indians had the Coyotes trap
ped with a healthy lead of 80 to Is.
Usually the score was small in all
the other games but the Indians
really put on the heat and never
let the outcome Of the game be
in doubt.
The Indians kept up the scor-
ing pace in the third canto and
had the coyotes skins to their
belts Al to %. With the regulars
sprinkled with reserves they still
scored although h e y missed
many setups over the befuddled
Shelby quintet. Stevens led the
scoring foray closely followed by
Pepion. Doore, Edwards n d
Paisley. 1t was the worst defeat
suffered by Shelby at the hands
of Browning for some years and
their worst this season.
In thepreliminary game Brown
ing's B squad outlasted a stub
born Shelby five 38 to 36 in a close
game which wasn't decided un-
til the final whistle when Brown
ing froze the ball with its two
point lead.
Browning plays Fort Benton at
the local gym Saturday night in
a return game. Fort Benton
holds early season victory over
the Indians.
