This weekend Sidney and
Glasgow get a jump on other

By virtue of their performance
last week Glasgow is definitely
an improved ball club over a year
ago.
Coach Hal Meyer, long time
mentor at the "Hi-Line" city, has
three regulars back plus two
transfers from Opheim and Great
Falls. The r~eturnees are Johnston,
Sheldon and Nieskens three
players who gave the Eagles
plenty of trouble last year. This
will be a real test for both clubs
Saturday night.
The locals 20 strong will make
the trip north. The "B" teams
from the two schools will play
IN the preliminary. Coach Kangas
has been working his squad hard
all week. After the Williston
game the Sidney coach says,
positions are wide open for the
starting five and scrimmages
during the week will determine
who starts against Glasgow"
WILLISTON So SIDNEY 81
The Coyotes from Williston, N.
D. didn't 0 a field goal until
four minutes of the first quarter
was gone last Friday night but
then went on to defeat the Sid
ney Eagles 1851. This was Sid
ney's first defeat of the season
and snapped a IL game winning
streak. Ironically their last defeat
was to this same ball club from
North Dakota.
Trailing 1923 at half-time the
Coyotes picked away at the locals
lead and finally caught them with
Just 46 seconds left in the third
period. That lead of 43-42 on two
free throws by Gary Sukut was
Willistons first of the night.
Sidney was behind 45-42 at the
three quarter mark. Four field
goals by Gary McMorris, Bob
Jensen, Ron Munoz and George
Weber in that order gave the
Eagles a 50-45 margin with $40
minutes remaining. However,
except for a free throw, that was
9ll for Sidney as the much taller
Coyotes poured in IA points and
the victory.
With Munoz and McMorris hit
ting from out and Jensen and Al
Mann from in close the Eagles
MT for eight points before the
Coyotes found the range. AT the
end OF the first period Sidney led
1910 and seemingly were on the
way to victory. The pattern of the
second quarter was the same as
the locals built what appeared to
be a comfortable 1923 half-time
lead.
During that first half Sidney
made Is out of 80 field goals at
tempts for a $50 average. The
Coyotes shot 10 of 81 for a res
pectable 37%. However in the
last half Sidney cooled off making
only seven of 26 attempts for
28%. For the night both teams
made 41% of their shots.
In the free throw department
Sidney made only five out of 10
attempts for a very poor 49,.
WllllSton wasn't much better as
they made nine out of 10 or 47%.
High scorer for the night was
Sukut of Williston with 81. Cen
ter Larry Hanson of the Coyotes
contributed 16 for the Coyotes.
For the Eagles Munoz and Nc
Morris shared top honors in the
scoring department each with IL.

The B team coached by Don
Shading defeated Williston's BIS
1851. Sidney led all the way
and had quarter leads of 1910.

the winners were Roger
Is, Bob ST. Cyr 10, John
Neckles IL, Marvin Rozells IL
and Ernie Olness 10. For Willis
ION Hopgood had 26.
Saturday night the B squad
after evidently losing to Lambert
ended up with a 62-62 tie. A
'echeck of the scoring brought
light the mistake and the tie.
Dean Carter with "a and Jerry
Williams with % were high for
Lions and the game. For
sidney st. Cyr and Berry each
lad Is.
The Sidney freshmen won
heir initial game last Friday
1913 over the Williston frosh. In
