tiny decisively defeated Miles
City 35-12. The Eagles on the
other hand had to come from be-
hind to defeat this same club
1913.
Hardin, like the Great Falls
Central eleven, will be meeting
the Eagles for the first time in
the history of the two schools.
They would like nothing better
than to go home Saturday norm
ing with a victory over Sidney.
Coach Shading announced
earlier this week that his Of
fensive starting squad against
Hardin will include nine seniors
who will be playing their final
game for the Eagles. AS is the
case each and every year these
boys will be greatly missed
come 1856.
The seniors are: Backs, Phil
lip Mischief, Scotty Jarvis, Jer-
ry Smith and Darrell Dahl; tack
les jim Sattler and Augustine
Minjares; guards jim Skillen and
Dick Goldsmith and Center Dick
Thompson. The two starting ends
will be juniors Bob Potts and
Jack Marion.
In spite of the cold weather
this past week Sidney has con-
tinued practice drills in prep
aration for this final game. A
win tomorrow night will assure
the Eagles of at least fourth
place and a possible tie for eth
er second or third in the Class
A League.
Sidney Is, Great Falls Central Z
Last Saturday night on a cold
field and witnessed by the mini
mum of fans the Sidney club
displayed a strong defense by
downing the Great Falls Central
Mustangs 1877.
With the exception of their
long touchdown run, after a Sid
ney pass interrogation, the Mus
tangS not once crossed the so
yard strip into Sidney territory
during the first two periods. In
the third quarter they did it
once and again in the fourth.
Their deepest penetration was
to the Sidney 40.
The strong Sidney defense held
the losers to just IS yards on
the ground and 40 in the air.
Sidney's two scores came in
the first half on short off tackle
plunges.
Tyler Jensen went over in the
first period from one yard away
and in the second Scotty Jarvis
did it from the two. Both OF
these TALES were set up on
two spectacular catches by end
Jack Marion from halfback Tom
Quilting.
Bob Potts received the opening
kick on his 25 and returned to
his 45.
The Eagles Immediately moved
to the Mustangs 81 but were
forced to punt. John Marman's
fine punting put Central in &
hole as they took over on the
Z. Three plays Melted 8 yards
and after a fourth down kick Sid
ney had the ball on the enemies
43. Jarvis picked up 2 and Smith
lost 2. Then Quilting taking &
lateral from Smith tossed tc
Marion who was downed on the
9. Three line plays by Jensen ano
Sidney had their first score
Quilting, trying to run for the
extra point, was stopped.

LOCAL HELP
A NECESSITY

A project initiated nearly ten
years ago is now under construc-
ton by the Richland County
Sportsmen's club and with assis-
lance from the State Fish & Game
Department. 1t is the Crane Lake
project which is to be made a
memorial to Game Warden Har-
old Gartside and will be called
Gartside Lake. The project is To-
Gated nine miles South Of Sidney
and one-half mile West of Crane.

Fund Drive - Special Benefits
Urged


A fund drive will be made in
all communities who will give
towards this important recrea-
tional project. According to the
Sportsmen club president, Buster
Dotson, and Vice President Bud
Merrill, a minimum of SIS is de-
sired from everyone who a pos
sibly help. Larger donations will
be needed and are expected from
many individuals and organiza-
tons. Organizations are urged to
put on special events to benefit
the project. The club is planning
several special parties for this
purpose. Club officials will cred
it all donors with the So 1856
club membership in order to
eliminate the yearly membership
drive and the annual dinner in
March will be held as usual.
The financial drive will be un-
der the direction of two teams
with leaders to be appointed at
a special meeting this Thursday
night.
The Sidney herald., 1955-11-03
Benefits for Many

The project will serve people
over a wide area of Northeastern
Montana and will be utilized by
every family member farm
ers, townspeople, scouts, churches
and All groups plus many other
community organizations. The IS
acre lake will fill a big gap in
community recreation by pro
viding trout fishing, boating,
swimming, picnic areas, and 9TH
er types Of recreation. One boy
scout group is already discussing
a scout cabin and a All group,
tree planting.

Site and Fish & Game Interest

Site and Fish 81 Game Interest
The Crane site was selected
largely due to the heavy springs
which provide a year around
flow of water that will assure
a fresh water lake. The water,
tested by the State Fisheries De-
partment, has been found excel
lent for fish and is considered cold
enough for trout. Thousands of
legal size trout are planned to be
planted from state hatcherieS for
next summer fishing.
The Sportsmens club two years
ago purchased 80-acres of land
after securing State Fish & Game
approval of the area. The project
is now nearly a reality largely
through the fine cooperation of
the State Fish & Game Depart
ment employees and the COM
mission headed by Manson Baily,
Jr. of Glasgow. They recognized
the need for such a project in
northeastern Montana. Their as
sistance has been secured, $4,000
in cash and $4,000 of tractor time,
on a basis of the local club at
least matching state participa-
