Two Major Games;
Slated Here
This Week End

Hardin high school Bulldogs
have two important games at
home this week end, with their
first conference go slated FRI
day against Red Lodge, and a
tilt Saturday night with the
highly-tonted Wolf Point five,
last seasons third place winners
in the state. r. ~
Wolf Point Wolves, who have
nine regulars back from last
years squad, are regarded by
many fans and coaches as a
leading contender for state
honors this year, and are ex-
pected to- exhibit a superior
brand of basketball for local
fans here Saturday night. Re-
suit. of the game with the
Wolves, a Northern division
team, will have no bearing on
the Bulldogs division standing
this season, but will present the
first opportunity for many fans
in this area to see the North
erners in action.
Anything could happen in
Friday nights game, since
neither Red Lodge nor the Bull
dogs have been defeated this
season, and neither has played
a conference game - this be
ing the first this year. Red
Lodge holds a two-point win
over Belfry and Hardin defeat
ed Glass G Forsyth in the sea-
sons opener here last Friday
night by a score of A to 33.
Hardin's slower, persistent at
tack payed off in the final
quarter of, last Fridays game,
after the fast-breaking Forsyth
DogieS led, 23-17 at half time
and trailed by only one point
at the end of the third quarter.
Shifty Bill Medicine Tail
Topped in Is points to lead the
scoring attack, while Lincoln of
Forsyth paced his team with 10.
Jim Zelka was responsible for
nine of Hardin's total.
Both teams showed good form
considering the earliness of the
season, but Hardin fans had a
scare until the Bulldogs began
to check the Dogies' fast break
with the game well into the
second half.
Lineups:
Hardin (44) - Medicine Tail

Rapid Growth in
Phone Service
Reported in Hardin

Although the past decade saw
the greatest population growth
in the history of Hardin, the
telephone growth was much
more rapid, according to r. E.
Packard, manager of the
Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph Co.
Hardin's, population increased
from 1866 in, 1910 to more than
.2,306 today; an increase of 22.3
per cent. In the same period,
the number, of telephones in
Hardin grew from 1855 to 925;
an increase of more than 1884
per cent.
Before World War II, tele-
phone growth was generally
moderate, but in the last few
years of substantially higher in
comes, the telephone has be-
come more than just a conVen-
fence or luxury in most homes.
This has caused a heavy de-
mand for service from existing
residents, which, added to the
demand from new residents, has
resulted in doubling the prob
lem Of providing a telephone to
everyone wherever and when
ever it is desired. In spite of
this, tremendous strides have
been taken.
The result, according to Mr..
Packard, is that since World
War II, the demand for tele-
phone service in Hardin has
been the greatest in history, the
telephone growth has been the
greatest in history and the
company has invested more
money to provide service here
than at any time in history.
