surprised by Federal Judge Emett
Choate's ruling that its bus seq
regation laws and those of the

ruling. He went to court thinking
the Judge was going to convene
three-judge court and have us
90 TO trial" Mr.. Graves was
bringing his case for four women
who complained that their con
stitutional rights were violated
when they were told to move to
the rear last October. Negroes
continued to ride in the back on
the buses, while the white folks
sat In the front.

Head basketball and track
coach and athletic director of Sid
ney high school, T. w. Toby"
Kangas, and Ray Baker, principal
of Dawson county high school
have been selected by the Board
of Control of the Montana High
School association to conduct the
annual coaches and officials bas-
ketball clinics throughout Mon
tana this week. Coach Kangas
represents the coaches of the state
and Mr.. Baker the officials.
This team is spending ten days
travelling to Billings, Bozeman,
Butte, Missoula, Kalispell, Havre,
Great Falls, Lewistown, Miles
City and Wolf Point.
The purpose of these clinics is
to give the coaches and officials
the opportunity to get together
and discuss basketball rule chan
ges plus a review of current rules.
Although there are a number of
changes for the 1957-58 year the
most important n for Montana
is the use of the wide free throw
lane in local high schools.
The selection of Coach Kangas
is actually a great honor. This
makes the first time in the many
years these clinics have been
conducted that a coach from
eastern Montana has received this
recognition.
Recently Mr.. Kangas attended
Rocky Mountain College alum
nj banquet in Billings at which
he was the featured speaker. A
graduate himself of Billings Poly
technic Institute which since has
become Rocky, Toby received
wide acclaim for his after-dinner
talk. In fact, following the ban
quet, school officials extended the
Sidney mentor an invitation to
at some later date to de-
liver the same address to the en-
tire student body, again quite an
honor for one of Sidney's own.
