The
Rambler
Buffalo Expert
Rooms Off Range
By JACK JONAS

If 1t weren't for Les Price,
and people like him. we'd be
up to our hips in buffalo.
Mr.. Price, a buffalo expert,
American bison type, held
forth the other day over a
luncheon of non-buffalo steak.
1--WE have about $500 out in
Custer State Park" Mr.. Price,
superintendent of that South
Dakota game refuge, said.
That's a compromise. The
technical people want 1000. I
want 1000. So we have $500.
"This may sound like a lot,
but we kill of about 500 a year
to keep it down to that.
I'D rather kill somebody's
COW than kill a buffalo," he
added, staring wistfully at his
beef steak. But we've got to
keep the herd down"
The buffalo started out in
Virginia, you know" he said.
They've still got a place down
there called Buffalo Gap. 1t
was probably a buffalo-cross-
ing through the mountains.
"A buffalo won't cross a
steep mountain range. He'll
look around for a gap. He's
that smart. Or maybe lazy,
like a park superintendent.
THE only way the buffalo
gets East now is when he
doesn't have anything to say
about tin steaks. We've got
some coming in for a big feed
right here in Washington.
"A buffalo doesn't like to be
crowded. He probably got
crowded right out of Virginia,
though. when all the people
started coming in"

This weekend the Sidney Ea-
giles basketball team win tackle
the two third-place teams IL
the Glass A conference. Friday
night the Eagles from Lewis
town with a IA record move
into town. On Saturday the Rams
from Billings Central make their
first visit to local territory and
like Lewistown have a IA Won
lost mark.
Sidney at the present is in
fourth place having won six
while losing 4. Havre continues
to lead after splitting two last
week and now are 10-1. Miles
City is in the runnerup spot with
3D..
Friday night Sidney will play
the most improved team in the
league, Lewistown. The Eagles
last week trounced league lead
ing Havre 72-56. This was the
first loss in Is games for the
Blue Ponies. Sidney, earlier this
season easily defeated Fergus on
the latter's court 72-57 but that
score indicates nothing towards
tomorrow nights tussle.
Lewistown, operating its Of
tense from a double post, is a
good rebounding team with plen-
ty of size to go with it. Their
starting five will have A1weis
6'3" and Little $40" at forwards;
Burleigh SO" at center and Har-
rington Sill" and Kaurin 5'11" at
guards.
Saturday night Sidney will play
host to a towering squad from
Billings Central. This will be the
first visit to eastern Montana for
the former Glass B school. The
Rams. as they are called, prob
ably have the tallest team in the
Class A conference, and, as Sid
ney has one of the smallest, Sat-
urday nights game should be al
interesting one.
Billings Central will probably
start Neil g. and Walsh 81" at
forwards. Mcintyre SIS" at CEN
ter and Campbell Sill" and En-
cry 6'3" at guards. Sidney,
averaging just over $40" really
has its work cut out for them
this week.

Gals have been working on de-

vate apartments will be available

tons by contracting their schools
and then write the Sidney Cham
Der for housing. According to
officials, there will be
ample housing by use of private
facilities that will be very desir-
able and at reasonable rates. The

housing.
