the first conference championship
for the Lions in many years.

side. AS has happened in the past
any of these eight squads have
the material to come out on top.

school and records were: Lam
bert 1871; Bainville 11-3, Richey
1914, Culbertson 9-5, Savage So,
Frazer 4-10, Froid PIP, and
Brockton PIP.

High School Principal H. F. Mix
elson stated prior to the opening
games, "Our reserved seat Sec
tons are almost sold out. There
will be a number of general adj
mission seats available but limit

the tournament staff as well as
myself I hope everyone conducts
themselves as ladies and gentle
men and that all will have a
wonderful time during their stay
in Sidney"
