Lutheran church in Savage for
Lars R. Gaare, who died in the
Sidney Community hospital Fri
day of injuries suffered in a fan
at his home. Rev. Henry Erick-
son officiated and burial was
made in Riverside Cemetery at

The deceased was born April
/, 1885 at Harg, Norway, a son
of MI. and Mrs. Rasmus Care.
The family moved to Allan, Nor
way, and later to Haltdalen, Nor

He was found unconscious there
last Thursday morning in his n
room dwelling by a neighbor.
Eric Erickson, who was in the
habit of visiting him regularly.
Coroner Homer Gorder and
Sheriff Childers were called to
the scene. where upon investi-
cation they could find no evil
dence of foul play and they be-
lieved death was the result of in
juries sustained when the de-
cedent fell against some furni-
ture.~ He had minor facial %lacera-
tons and there was some Blood
on nearby furniture.
Nothing in the room had been
.olested. a considerable amount
of money readily available was
there, which eliminated burglary
or robbery as a motive and ply
sicians said the bruises were not
characteristic of a beating.
The deceased is survived by
three sisters, Mrs. Even Ler of
Savage, Mrs. Oscar Fremming of
Chicago and Miss Christine Gaare
Of Haltdalen, Norway.

tute comedies with Kiwanis luncheon,

Johnson, Ralph Criger now brings the
membership of the club to 70. Jim
Seitz. student Kiwanian of the month
gave his swan song" speech.
DR.. Renne, president of Montana
State College. was the guest speaker.
Crisis of Higher Education" was the
theme of his speech. DR.. Rene stress
ed the increased population has Gre
ated a very large up-surge in student
enrolment at his college. The last
three years has shown a 1870 increase
in students in the University System
of Montana. Lack of money has also
been a problem Of maintaining the
six schools of the university system
of Montana. Trends indicate many
more Montana students are seeking
higher educations than was anticipat-
ed by statistics. Consequently the leg
stature has not budgeted enough
money to operate the university sys-
tenn. The next few years will prove
what growing pains the university
system will undergo.
Guests at today's meeting were
Judge w. w. LESLEY, Jack Reed, Art
Neil. DR.. Renne. Leo Mcdonald, VIM.

Eagles Conclude
Season Schedule
This Weekend

The Sidney basketball team
will complete their regular season
22-game schedule this week
when they entertain last place
Glasgow Friday night and first
place Havre OF Saturday.
In the preliminary Friday the
Sidney B team will play the
Glasgow BIS and Saturday night
in the first game the Sidney
frosh will tackle the Sidney b
squad.
With less than a week remain
ing before tournament time Sid
ney is currently tied with Bill
lings Central for fourth place in
Glass A standings.
The results of the Billings Cen
tral-Laurel game played Wednes-
day night was not known at the
time of this writing.
Only Havre with first place as
sured has a definite ranking for
the Glass A classic which starts
here next week. Sidney has the
possibility of finishing from Sec
ond spot down to sixth. The win
ming of both games remaining
does not assure them of a rating
any higher than fourth but the
outcome of other games could
push the Eagles up to as high
as second.
From all indications the Scot
ties from Glasgow should be easy
foes for the locals Friday night.
In sixteen conference games
Coach Hal Meyers young squad
is winless. However, regardless
Of their record, Glasgow has been
for many of the other nine
teams all season and especially
in recent weeks.
Last Saturday night Havre had
a rough time with Glasgow until
well into the second quarter. The
Blue Ponies were behind 20-16
at the end of one before going on
10 a 1851 win. Many games this
season Glasgow has kept pace for
.hree quarters only to fall behind
he final eight minutes. Coach
Meyers control type of ball can
a thorn in any teams side
and the Eagles had better be on
guard Friday. Sidney won in
heir previous meeting 72-42.
In the game Saturday night the
he champion Blue Ponies have
to lose and Sidney might
lave everything to gain depend
ng on Fridays results.
Havre wrapped up their first
lass A championship last week
ince 1910 and thus will add this
to their 1855 football
championship.
When Sidney met the High
iners last January 10 they were
he victors if a contest was de-
ided by quarters. Until well into
he final eight minutes the Eagles
I'd but that final push wasn't
here as Havre won 66-55. That

The association, which has
