rained out so far as its outdoor
program of rodeo events was
concerned much to the disappoint-

took a chance and were on hand
to enjoy that favorite afternoon

Management and the public are
hoping the weather will clear
during the afternoon for the night
show which is rated high by Of

circuit where it has been the
nightly feature. Favorable wealth

Despite adverse weather con-

the Fairgrounds with more kids
entered in the competition than
ever before.
The Montana wildlife display,
sponsored by the Richland Coun-

Eagles Open
Football Season
September 7

The Sidney Football Eagles
have fourteen lettermen to build
around this season as they pre-
pare for the toughest Glass A
conference in years. Prospects T
probably the brightest since 1851
when Sidney won the Eastern
Montana championship. However
most of the 10 Glass A schools
will be stronger in 1856 which
will make competition at its
toughest.
Defending champion Havre is
again picked as the team to beat.
Glendiye and Billings Central,
/, runners up a year ago could
easily take top honors with Miles
! City rated a strong darkhorse.
Sidney does not play the Central
Rams.
According to Coach Don Smad-
ing, 1.-The locals could be plenty
tough this a providing their
desire and work is at its best.
We don't have a push-over on
the schedule" continued the Sid
ney mentor, land in return we
WOI O& easy lO1 ilCitl GilltCts
We could be a better club than
a year ago."
|. The Eagles have good expert
renee at most positions. They could
field a starting eleven composed
entirely of lettermen. The big
gest problem yet to is
depth. at all positions.
Last Friday night suits were
issued to As players. However,
only SO of these have been at
tending the two day practice
sessions.
The Eagles could be a well
balanced team in weight this sea-
son providing expected prospects
report. However speed will be
the essential factor and will have
the advantage over the weighty
player that can't move. Accord
ing to Coach Shading his team
will not rely on weight alone.
Two regulars, Bob Potts and
Jack Marion T back at the end
positions. Potts, however, has
been moved to the center spot.
Lettermen Ron Quilting and
Clarence Helm along with Bob
Franz r top prospects as pass
receivers.
At tackle only Gene S~attler,
last seasons regular, is back.
Most likely to fill this spot are
Don Herman, Lawrence Simon
sol or Thore Kristiansen. Return
ing regulars Grin Anderson and
Jerry Christensen will provide
experience as guards but they
will be hard pressed by George
Murray, Mike Jones and Ron
Munoz. Top candidates at CEN
ter r Bob Potts and Dale Win
ter.
In the backfield only the full
back and quarterback positions
will have experienced men. Tyler
Jensen received the starters call
most of the time last year at
fullback and Tom Quilting did
a good share of the signal call
ing.
Both regular halfbacks grad
uated although prospects look
fairly bright for these positions.
Leaders among these for back
field positions are Doyle Dot
son, Gary Bracken, John Mar
man, Helm, Brent Potts and Craig
Price.
According to the Sidney
coaches no indiidual has that
starting assignment nailed down.
The one looking the best today
could be moved out tomorrow.
The Eagles play their first
game here September 7 against
the Williston Coyotes. Season
tickets are still available. Con-
tact Toby Kangas at 531-W.

Netherlands
Navy Visitors
To Party

The fleets in town and this
time it's a visit from two
coastal minesweepers of the
Royal Netherlands Navy.
They arrived in Washington
at Municipal Pier 5 Wednesday
afternoon and are scheduled to
stay until Monday morning.
The purpose of the visit is
to show these minesweepers
HNMS "Dokkum" and HNNIS
"Wildervank" to United States
naval authorities and to carry
out comparative trials with
American minesweepers of the
same type.
But, Of course, such a visit
also calls for a certain amount
OF social ACTIVITY.
Today's there's a cocktail
party being given by Rear Ad-
miral David Tyree. command
ing officer of the Potomac
River Naval Command, for the
ships officers at Quarter B,
Naval Gun Factory.
Baron van Worst tot Worst,
Dutch charge d'affaireS, will

spot jet-black tweed as a
fabric they might enjoy trying
out.
For Travel
More women travelling than
ever before want clothes that
will look at home in any city
or country in which they hap
pen to be.
Jersey is a fabric they adore
for travel. This season it comes
in wonderful day dresses with
interesting collars and in won
derful novelty weaves and
colors.
Deep dark green's, blacks
woven with white or brown,
the safe" colors like beige,
greige, brown or black make
the jersey dress even more
popular.
It's hard to go into detail
about all the collections we've
been seeing all week. AS we
get into the season we'll
elaborate on individual de-
signerS as their fashions come
into our stores.
What you can't miss this
fall and winter is that FASH
ion has gone into mourning.
Things look awfully black but
far from dreary.
If you're on the lookout for
a coat silhouette that may be
prophetic look to Anthony
Blotta'S wrap rascal" It's
almost a Florence nightingale
kind of coat that has a cape
hugging the shoulders and a
straight look otherwise.

for Greece as a part of the 1856
program Of the Experiment in

The project is the Oldest of
its type in the field of student

BY ELEM

NEW YORK, July Is (P.-
Now be honest, Elem, just how
many of the things you've been
selling all week do you think
will really take with the ave-
rage woman? This was
question we were asked by
someone yesterday.
Since the American feminine
population is composed of
many figures we find it diff
cult to say that all the new
trends such as the eaSed figure
line in dresses, the skinny din
ner sheath of black crepe with
the SlaShed hemline or the
train that inevitably gets
caught in your heel, will be
worn by all women.
What we think will be ac-
cepted is the direction in
which fashion is moving.
I'm dou b t e dly many are
scheduling private glittering
soirees, gala balls and chic
dinner parties in which the
new fashions for evening are
meant to provide a fashionable
background. Washington GER
tainly is the setting for this
type of fashion.
It's Needed
What is needed, as Mr.. John
the milliner mentioned to me
at dinner the other night, is
the desire of women to try
hard enough to achieve real
elegance. 1T only takes two
chic women in a place to
make it chic" he said.
It's apparent the entire
fashion industry has been
aware that a great many wom-
en- who work all day in an at
moSphere that is strictly bust
ness, yearn to change their
personalities in the evening.
Make no mistake, the new
fashions will require a re-
fresher course in how to walk
regally, how to sit in a lady
like manner. and how to
gesture gracefully.
Maybe the new clothes are a
reflection Of a generation of
women who haven't known
such excitement could be
found in fashion. It's a gen.
Grafton that's concentrated on
clothes for leisurely living.
Now it seems there's plenty
of time left over in which to
dress up elegantly.
What do we think will have
acceptance? The wool costume
with the little fur collar.
Though we're seeing it in
shiny black broadcloth with a
mink collar we can still look
ahead to the idea being freely
adapted in other fabrics and
make-believe furs.
The black crepe dress, its
beauty dependent only on its
graceful drape or drifting
panel, or wide cummerbund
belt.
We saw it best expressed at
Ben Regis, where the fluid
