The Sidney herald., 1956-01-12

NLl1S LALA1 WYNN
Sidney Eagles invading Blue
Pony territory where the UNI
defeated Havre squad resides.
Havre, 1855 conference foot
ball champs, are on their way
tofdo likewise In basketball. Cur
rently on a five game winning
streak without a defeat the High
Line club will be out to make 1t
six when they play Sidney Fri
day night.
In the past few years the
Eagles have strongly dominated
the Blue Ponies and the word is
out that Coach Bud Ward and
his quintet are out to partly even
matters up.
Havre, with veterans Wynn,
Wylie and Mcleod, were pre-
season f~avorites by many to take
top honors and their performance
SO far indicates just that. Wynn,
a six foot three-inch center, is
rated one of the best in the state.
No doubt the Eagles face their
stiffest test to date.
Nevertheless the locals are not
a team that sits back and accepts
defeat easily. Coach T. w. Kan
gas teams are noted for being
at their best when that extra
effort Is needed and Havre just
might be surprised Friday night.
Sidney again will be at full
strength for this one and out to
improve the 80 rating in con-
ference play. A win over the
Blue Ponies is not an impossible
ty. -
On Saturday night Sidney will
back track on the highline and
play the hapless Glasgow Scot
ties. Coach Hal Meyers squad
has yet to win a league game
this season and with his ball con-
troll type of play will be out af-
ter the locals. For some reason
the Eagles always have a tough
time on the Scotties' court.
Saturday night the Sidney 3
squad will play the Glasgow BIS
in the preliminary. Coach Don
Standings boys are idle Friday.
Laurel So, Sidney 81
The undermined Sidney Ea-
giles lost a thriller at Laurel last
Friday So = 81 as they suffered
their second conference loss. Rag
ged ball handling and poor
shooting meant the downfall of
the hot and cold locals.
Sidney jumped off to a quick
lead that was short lived. Lead
ing 14-12 at the end of the first
quarter Sidney soon after lost
1t and never again were quite
able to catch the Locomotives.
The score at halftime was 27-24
In favor of Laurel and 44-40
at the end of three. After trail
ing by as much as ten points the
final quarter Sidney narrowed
the gap to four with seconds re-
manning but that threat went by
the boards.
Center Bob Potts led the Sid
ney scoring with 18 being close
ly followed by Grin Anderson
with IA. Armstrong was high for
Laurel with IL. NJ
Sidney 80, Hardin 10
Sidney picked Saturday night
to be their hot one as they
trounced the Hardin Bulldogs
1910. Only a rally in the final
minutes by the never-say-die
Hardin squad kept the game
from being a walk away.
The red-hot local five, with
Bob Potts thrilling the crowd
with 33 big counters, made over
60% of their shots in the first j
half for an almost unbelievable
percentage. The starting five did |
all the scoring for the locals +;
as all had uncanny eyes for this !
one particular night. I
Grin Anderson again was sec
ond in the scoring column this s
time with 20. However, equally as {
important was the number of
assists he made as he astounded
The crowd with professionalism
1andoffs which fed the big Sid +
ney center the ball all night. t
With Potts and Anderson hit
from within Jerry Smith, S
Flip Mischief and Erwin Schmidt r
Sept potting them from out as r
he Hardin defense folded. l
Sidney led 21-12 at the quar- e
er. 1890 at halftime and 1888 v
It the three quarter mark.
In the fourth period the Bull n
logs outscored the visitors It'll a
md even came within seven s
POINTS at one time. This indica- Il
ion of never giving up by Har- e
lin might make this ball club G
tough by tournament time. d
A free throw by Prigan after
he overtime had ended gave "
a 1852 victory over the G
sidney B squad last Friday night. 81
In a hectic battle which saw G
lead most of the way was
h~eartbreaker for the locals to I
ose and a thriller for the Class 1
host club to win. I
Coach Standings squad led TO- j
$500 and 51-45 at the quar- -
n marks. The two teams were i
ed Stall at the end of regula-
on time.
High for Sidney was Dick Hell al
m with "a. Tom SHUTTER led the tn
timers with Is. pi
Saturday night with Don Bur- Fl
esS getting the unbelievable to-
Il of 35, Lambert swamped the 81
idney BIS 80-42. Coach Dick gr
ell's Glass c squad seemed to of
ave some kind OF revenge in
ind as they continued to build ed
leir big lead. CT
Lambert held leads OF 25-16, We
