Inc Hardln nigh Bulldogs
continued on their indicated
way this week, taking Custer,
AZ to 81, Thursday, romping
over Colstrip, 72 to % Friday
and having an easy, 63-to-38
victory over Columbus Wednes-
day.
The Bulldogs looked sluggish
against Custer there on Jan
uary 16. Custer players attempt
ed to play Hardin's fast brand
of ball, but with no notable
success. Even in their own gym,
the Yellowstone county team
seemed unable to find the bas-
ket and the Bulldogs had COM
mand of the contest at all
times.
Hardin had only a two-point
lead, 6 to 4, at the end of the
initial period, but had in
creased the tally 16 OF 6 at the
half. The third quarter ended
with the Bulldogs leading, 26 to
IA. Bob Saunders with IA was
high point man.

Colstrip had plenty of speed,
but proved too inaccurate on
shots and too loose on ball han
ding to give the Bulldogs any
real trouble. The local Lads
started off with a commanding,
20-to-6 lead at the end of the
first quarter, which they in
creased to SO to 10 at halftime.
The third period brought Har-
din's lead to So to 10.
Surprise performer against
Colstrip proved to be Bill Shcal-
Ter. In about six minutes of play
in the final frame, he made
the amazing total Of IA points.
He made seven of nine tries for
field goals. It took Bob Saund-
ers three quarters to make the
II which gave him title of high
point man. He was replaced by
his brother, Lloyd, in parts of
both the second and third and
in all of the fourth period.
Hammer was also hitting the
hoop regularly, to total II.
Parker of Colstrip managed to
rack up IA against a good Bull
dog defense.

and were never headed, having

halftime.

The preliminary contest be-
tween the Hardin and Columbus
B squad proved to be a thrill
Ter and ended in a tie, 80 to
80. The Cougar Cubs led all the
way until the final period,
when the Bulldog second string
drew even in the last minute
of play. No overtime period was
played. Young Bert Kronmiller
proved the only member of the
local quint that could find the
