The Sidney herald., 1956-09-20
Eagles Beat
Hardin; Havre
Here Friday


In what could be the football
game of the year, the Sidney
Eagles meet the Havre Blue Po-
MES on Swanson Field Friday
night. This is the make or break
game for both squads as the
winners could go on to the Glass
A championship.
Havre, 1855 champs, playing
their first conference game this
week, lost their opener to Glass
AA Helena 26 = II and easily
defeated Glasgow last week 1870.
In the game with the Scotties the
losers were held to just two
first downs by the much heavier
Havre forward wall.
Coach Ralph Frank, in his Sec
ond season as the Ponies pilot,
admits that his team does have
a good chance to repeat for the
Glass A crown. He has six of his
starting eleven back from a year
ago including two of his back
field men. According to the Havre
mentor the teams main prob
lem is depth.
The team uses the T formation
with Robert Stromberg calling
the signals from the quarterback
slot. Warren Anderson and Rudy
Mangels are filling the halfback
positions and Gary Malek is
starting fullback.
In the line Havre has Rand
Honadel at left end; Don Morris
at left tackle and Barney Hope
well in the left guard position.
The right side of the line is made
up with end Gay Kravic; tackle
Don Brendgard and Captain
Frank Kato playing guard. Ken
Gorder is starting center.
The line, one of the heaviest
in Class A will average $50 and
the backs about 155.
Sidney, with two victories in
as many games, is prepared for
their toughest contest to date.
Havre defeated the Eagles 21-0
last seaso and nothing would
make Coach Don Shading and
his squad happier than a win
Friday night.
The locals this week have con-
tinued their drilling on funda-
mentals. Their blocking and tack
Ling must be sharp if they are to
compete with the Blue Ponies.
Coach Shading will start Tom
Quilting at quarterback, Doyle
Dotson and John Marman at the
halfback spots and Tyler Jensen
at fullback. In the line Sidney
will have Ron Quilting and Jack
Marion at ends; Gene Sattler and
Don Herman at tackles; and
Jerry Christensen at guards. Bob
Potts will get the starting call
at the center post.

terence win of the season.
