SIDNEY
ELECT jim KELLY
AS PRESIDENT

Wednesday, December IL was
the annual election of officers
for the Sidney Bowhunters Inc.
Officers for the coming year are
as follows: Jim Kelly, president;
Dale Becker, vice-president; Bob
Suckstorff, secretary = treasurer;
Henry Schwenke, field governor;
and the three directors include
past president Jim Strack, John
Walburn and Glenn Stanford.
Sunday, December Is the club
held a rabbit shoot. Two teams
participated. One team went out
in the morning for two hours and
the other team in the afternoon
for two hours. The afternoon
team was captained by Jim
Strack and the morning crew had
Dale Becker as their leader.
Seems like Jim's bunch had a
little better luck than Dale's and
as a result the morning crew has
to supply the club with a feed of
the winners choice. Let's hope it's
not T-Dones.
The next meeting and the first
of 1853 will be held on Wednes-
day. January 9th. We would like
to have any persons interested in
archery and bow hunting to come
10 this meeting. No obligation but
come on down and try it out.
We are sure that you will like it.
It's a great sport.

Failure to support the con-

years, has averaged more than
$50 new cases of tuberculosis
each year.
ITO the misinformed who
thought tuberculosis was licked"
she said, "this is a shocking

Eagles Win Two; To Play
G|endive and Miles Citv

Sidney 81 - Billings Central AZ
A combination of above aver
age shooting plus an excellent
defense gave the Eagles a sur
prisingly easy win over the tow
ering Billings Central Rams 54-4S
on the local court last Saturday
night.
The Rams, picked by many
with the best chance to win the
Class A conference honors, were
unable to cope with the Eagles
man to man defense that held
their shooting stars to just 81
points with less than four min
utes to play. At that point Coach
Kangas' squad had 48 points for
the largest lead of the night.
Billings has the "horses" with
a front line averaging ga" and
by tournament time in March
should be really tough. However,
last week they put on a dismal
display of basketball that had
everyone wondering just what
kind of a crystal ball the pre-
season experts were gazing into.
The game started very slow
with both squads obviously ner-
YOU and feeling the other out.
Sidney's Jensen started the
scoring with a free shot and Bill
lings Bert Emery put his team
ahead on a corner shot. Sidney
finally went ahead IA this time
10 stay, but not before the lead
changed hands four times.
At the end of the first quarter
the Eagles were ahead 1914 and
30-18 at halftime. Going into the
final eight minutes the winners
led 1926.
Sidney continued its fabulous
shooting by scoring on 47% of its
shots. They took only 43 but con-
nected on 20 of them.
Ron Quilting had one of his
hottest nights OF his basketball
al he made ii buckets
and a free shot for % points. His
shooting average was an unbe-
lievable $50. 1t was mainly on
shooting that made the
zone defense very ineffec-
Sidney's accuracy was a big
factor but their defense was even
more important. Billings made
only Is Of 48 shots for a 27%
record but it was the defensive
work Of the Eagles that caused
his. Hardly ever, with the ex-
of a few lay-ins, were
he Rams allowed to take a
good shot.
Especially outstanding was the
OBJ Marman did on Emery. John
got four points for the night
,ut he held the previously high
.coring Billings forward to just
o points. The defensive work of
craig Price, Doyle Dotson and
plus the steady playing
# Dale Winter made this game
real team effort.
Another big pat on the back
.oes to Sidney's young center,
Bob Jensen. Standing two to
hree inches under the three big
'oys from Central, Bob gathered
n Is rebounds, more than twice
he number of any one player on
he Billings squad. In fact, the
hree big boys in the Rams front
me only got 20 between them.
o make Jensen's job just a little
1ore impressive, out of his total
/ of them we're gotten while on
efense, which was the same
lumber the whole Billings team
OF on defense. This sophomore
as got a lot more to learn but
e's picking it up fast. |.
