Eagles Open
Track Season
AT Glendive

According to Coach Toby Kan
gas the Eagle trackSterS r JUS
a year away from possible leader
ship among the Glass A high
schools of the state. At present
the squads overall strength is
found among the lower classmen.
This year Sidney has only two
returning lettermen and only one
is a senior. Philip Mischief OBJ
tanned his letter in 1855 mainly
in sprint competition and again
this year will be the strongest
in that event. Junior Jack Mar
ron won his letter in the dis
lance events and is expected to
be even better this season.
Track is one of the few sports
where the individual athlete
reignS supreme. True, each event
adds up to team honors but rec
ognition is given mainly to the
individual winners.
Consequently the goal of per-
lection is sought by each track
man in his particular specially.
OF the three major sports in the
Sidney high school athletic pro-
gram the importance of individu-
al practice is the greatest in track.
Unlike other sports a teammate
in track can only give moral sup
port.
Thus the winner on the Gin
ders must practice, practice and
practice. MOI just the six weeks
each year when meets are held,
but twelve months each year.
Ribbons and medals are won at
the meets but the self-Satisfaction
obtained during those long prac-
tice hours is much more import
ant.
Sidney will open their 1856
season this Saturday in a triangu-
lar with Dawson and Custer coun-
ties at Glendive. Coach Kangas
and his assistant, Don Robinson
will take about 80 boys by bus
Saturday morning.
The remainder of the schedule
will be a dual with Glendive here
April 81; Sidney Relays April %;
eastern Glass A divisional at
Glendive May 5; invitational at
Glendive May IL and the Inter
scholastic at Missoula May Is and

OF -Four Months
Stay In California

California has so many rami-
ficationS of climate, topography
. nationalities of people, air, rail
highway and ocean traffic, Holly
wood the film capital of the
world, fourteen channels of TV
programs, huge factories and in
dustries, a vast variety of agri-
cultural crops; all these Things
combine 10 make greater Los An
geles the third largest city in the
United States.
Within its confines are the
highest and the lowest points in
the Continental United States.
Mount Whitney 14,495 feet ele-
walton and Badwater in Death
Valley 279 feet below sea level,
only so miles apart. The highest
lake in the u. S. (12,865 feet) is
Lake Tulaingo - two miles north
of Mount Whitney. California is
the second largest state in the u.
S.; it is second in population
with over 13,500,00O people. Los
Angeles has a population of over
2,248, 900. These few statements
will cover an overall picture
rather than taking one or two
outstanding state projects or OBJ
jectives.
The history of California is
very interesting; it became a state
in 1850 which was a loss to
Mexico and a valuable addition
to our nation.
Over 1850, 900 cars and trucks
operate in Los Angeles daily.
Many great factories, steel, alumni
mum, airplane, military, navy
yards and massive oil refineries
are within the limits of Los An
geles. Is it any wonder that the
smoke and fumes from these in
dustries and gasoline vehicles
and the burning of garbage ere
ates a smog over the city which
is very injurious to people? Some
days winds from the ocean push
the Smog over the mountains out
into the desert. Large sums of
money are being spent to cor
rect this hazard. No noticeable
Improvement can be see yet.
Hollywood, Glendale and some
others have a higher elevation
and are not subject to these
dangers; the smog at times is as
bad as a heavy fog and tends to
hug the ground.
One question is asked: why do
so many people go to California?
There are three reasons: Many
people decide to retire and go
to California to live; thousands of
people go there to go in some
line of business or get a job in
the factories. The Los Angeles
Times had over a 100 ads every
morning wanting labor; wages are
good and they wish to keep a
good job and build a permanent
home. Others wish to establish
residence for five years after
which they are entitled to a state

Pittsburgh, Pa. - Over the
past several years, the Croa-
tian Fraternal Union Annual
Basketball Tournament has
resolved itself into an Ohio
p e n n sylvania participation.
There may be reasons for
this. 1t is not to be assumed
that the members in the Mid
west are less G. F. U.-minded
along basketball lines.
Basketball caters to the
youth within the age bracket
IL to rs. Unlike the bowlers
who are generally older, the
basketballers do not have the
economic reserve to travel as
they must in groups Of ten
players. With the Juniors this
is even more pronounced and
costly.
Therefore, we are advanc-
ing the idea with the approval
of the C. F. u. Athletic Ad-
visory Board, in behalf of
making more of our youth
G. F.. u. conscious through
the sport of their liking to
have a c. F. U. Midwest Bas-
ketball Tournament for all
teams west of the meridian
passing through Detroit.
The East would participate
in the so-called Eastern divi-
sional tournament, with the
winners, seniors and juniors,
of each to play the other for
the C. F. U. championship.
The site of these. annual
jousts could alternate east to
west.
The Croatian Fraternal I'm
ion would allocate a sum for
bringing the travelling teams
to the championship deter
mining site. These are but
rough plans, the line Of de-
marcation may have to be re-

Frisco Summer BowIers
Set For Final Meet

C0h 0ASaSSUS SdAAs
Thirty eight bowlers at this
writing were looking forward
to September 4th as the final
night of the San Francisco
Summer Bowling L eague.
Nineteen of this group were
men and the exact number
female keglers. At the time,
August 14th, there was no
clean cut indication as to
what team, after fourteen
weeks of activity, will rate
the championship trophies
and who will finish a strong
second.
The Buccaneers were show
ing their heels to the remain
ing five teams with the Hit
and Miss team on a 1915 re-
cord basis, but one and one
half games out of first place.
The Buccaneers have been in
the drivers seat the past five
weeks collecting seven wins.
Even better than this has
been the showing of the run
ner-up Hit and Miss team
which has netted nine victo-
ries in the same period. At
that they are but a half game
ahead of the Question Marks
and one full game in advance
of the Alley Cats to have the
J top four teams closely bunch
ed. Not too far behind in fifth
and last place are the Rock
and Rolls who are shading the
Who's Sorry aggregation by
a game into the league cellar,
A compilation Of the last
six weeks shows that the
highest male scores have been
B. Blazevich, 203-537; E. Ben
son, SIG; ]. Kernar, 21O-512;
T. Pavlovich, 214-5O4 and D,
Plutt, 488. Their counterparts
among the fair-sex have been
X. Petrucela, 221-572; A.
Pavlovich, 168-458; A. Cici-
brik, 424; M. Mercep, Alt and
r. Benson, 161-416.
/ The seasons best among
the team totals thus far have
been Hit and Miss with 70e
and the fifth place Rock and
Roll with 696--1969, the last
two figures prove that even
the second division teams will
have a hand in reckoning the
winners.
