The Sidney herald., 1956-10-25

they defeated Miles City ana 1--WE
other squads were upended.
Laurel suffered their first los
as the Mustangs from Great Fall:
Central did it 81. In addition
Havre trounced Glendive 3l-7
Both of these teams had to be
beaten for the Eagles chances tc
stay alive.
Billings Central with a SO rec
ord continues to lead the Glass A
conference. Sidney holds undis-
puted possession of second with
81 and Laurel is third, Al. The
locals can assure themselves OF
a playoff game by beating Great
Falls Central this Saturday,
Should this happen their oppon-
ents or opponent won't be deter
mined until next week when
Laurel meets Billings Central.
These two teams along with Sid
ney could end up in a three way
tie for first place.
The Mustangs are expected to
be plenty tough for the Eagles
Saturday night. They currently
hold a 80 record with victories
over Laurel, Glasgow and Lewis
ton. Their two losses were to
Havre 60 and Billings Central
1912, two of the strongest teams
in the conference.
Scouting reports indicate the
Mustangs are very strong defen-
sively and especially through the
middle. Their starting eleven VIII
average in weight about the same
as Sidney's. The Eagles probably
have a slight edge on bench
strength which could be the de-
Gliding factor in this all important
contest.
The Sidney squad continues TO
be hampered with injuries. John
Marman who was expected to be
ready to go against Central re-
injured his leg this week and will
not be able to play. In add
ton senior halfback Gary Brack-
en- will see limited action due
to a knee injury. Other minor
hurts to key players seem to be
healed.
The Eagles will leave by bus
Friday for their final conference
game Saturday night. Coaches
Don Shading and Dick Buehler
will take 26 players and two
managers. Among this group 10
are seniors playing their final
regular scheduled game for Sid
ney high school. These are Lee
Anderson, Gary Bracken, Jerry
Christensen, Bob Franz, Don Her
man, Clarence Helm, Tyler Jen-
sen, Thor Kristiansen, Jack Mar
ron, Jack Martin, Bob Potts Tom
Quilting, Gene Sattler, Lorenzo
and George Murray.
