Hardin Athletes
Candidates
For Varsity Team

Both Bob and Lloyd Saunders
of Hardin are on the list of the
probable Montana State College
1950-51 basketball roster, &C
cording to information from the
college.
Both are sons of Mr.. and Mrs.
r. B. Saunders of Hardin.
In an introduction of players,
the college describes the Saund-
erS boys as follows:
Bob Saunders-junior guard
and forward, SIP, 100 lbs, 81
years old. It doesn't matter
much whether Bob is listed as
a forward or guard, he'll be in
the right spot, playing a
smooth-gliding game. He's a
ball-control specialist and feed
er. but his shots with either
hand have been improving and
Bobby is another player who
seldom forgets a fact about
casaba play. Used in reserve
roles last season, he's likely to
be in the thick of things this
year. A commercial science
major, interested in accounting,
he's president of the Junior
class. Played his high school
ball in Hardin.
LLOYD Saunders-Sophomore
guard, 5'8", 143 lbs; 10 years old.
Bob's little" brother, Lloyd, is
an ace in his own right. His
speedy, sure floor play and
Shooting ability nominated him
to the Glass B all-state team as
he spanked Hardin two years
AGO. Last season he was a reg
Mar guard on the Kitten five
and third high scorer. With
Gleason, at 10 they're the
Youngest members of the squad.
whether he can make the grade
in varsity competition remains
to be seen, but he's a classy
performer for his size. Like Bob,
Lloyd is a commercial science
major.
Bob's scoring record as a re-
serve last year averaged 1.85
per game in 81 games. He made
is field goals and 20 out of 80
free-throW attempts for an
average in that department. of
66.7 per cent.
L,loyd was among the top six
scorers during the 1850 fresh
man season with a total of 148
points for an 80 point average
in is games. He scored SIS of
157 field goal attempts for an
average of 35 per cent, and in
the free throw department had
38 to 81 attempts for an aver
age of 81 per cent.

RippHng
Of the Rivers

Congratulations are in order
this week for two longtime
business men of Hardin upon
retirement after long service to
the community.
John L. SWindle, who an
nounced the sale of the Hardin
Meat Market last week, will re-
tire December. /, after more
than 80 years of continuous op-
Grafton in Hardin.
This week C. S. Elder, who
held top seniority in years OF
business in Hardin announced
the sale of Elder Hardware after
Al years of work in this city.
Best wishes, too, to the sue
cessors of these retiring mer-
chantS-Don and Dan Ziler of
Billings, who purchased the
Hardin Meat Market, and Albert
Wfldin, who purchased Elder
Hardware.
MI. and Mrs. Wildin have
shown that disaster cannot dis
courage them, since they are
beginning anew after the recent
explosion here which wrecked
their CoaSt-to-CoaSt store, along
with the Commercial hotel
building.
"How can you make a living
tuning pianos way out in this
backWoodS?" a customer asked
the piano tuner.
"In slack times I tighten wire
fences" replied the tuner.
MI. and Mrs. Elmer Knight
of Lodge Grass are very appre-
ciative of the efforts of the
Lodge Grass fire department in
extinguiShing a fire which could
have destroyed their place seV-
eral weeks ago, but the Knights
have had a bad time trying to
get a Thank You" PUBLISHED in
the HT-H
They turned in the note of
thanks Immediately following
the fire but it failed to reach
this office. Their second note
arrived here and was set in
type ready to run, but mad
vertently was omitted when the
paper was made up.
We're quite sure the thank
you" card is in this issue. In
any case it is not the fault of
Mr.. and Mrs. Knight. Although
the note is delayed, the Thanks
giving issue should be appro-
pirate enough.
Statement by the Secretary
of Agriculture: "It may yet be
necessary to support the price
of hogs despite the lack of a
workable method for doing So"
