Eagles Increase Lead;
To Play Rams, Bulldogs

has been laid up with a sprained
ankle and has missed the last four
games. The young center's re-
bounding ability if lost would
certainly dim the Eagles chances
this week. His chances of playing
are pretty good although he def
initely will not be at full strength.
Another Eagle player out with
injuries is Gary McMorris.
Coach Kangas was very pleased
with his squads team victories
last week. Every starter plus most
OF the substitutes contributed well
to the scoring. Due to the lop-
sided scores the bench strength
had a chance to show itself and
that's just what they did. In the
Lewistown game this capable
group made 80 of the teams IS
points. It's always true, the
stronger the bench the stronger
the first five.
In other games this week end
the B team travels to Brockton
Friday night and Savage Satur-
day. The local freshmen will play
the preliminary to the Savage
game. The frosh will meet the
Savage BIS.
Eagles Trounce
Fergus and Laurel
Two visiting Glass A clubs were
Sidney's tenth and eleventh vic
tins last week end. Friday night
the hapless Lewistown Eagles
were overwhelmed 1884 and Sat-
urday Laurel felt the sting of de-
feat 66-40. In both contests the
outcome was evident early in the
opening period allowing the local
mentor, Kangas to substitute free
ly.
Lewistown, winless now in II
league games, provided the most
competition, but then for only
three minutes. They actually led
Sidney three different times in the
early stages. After scoring the
opening field goal the Fergus
county five held their last lead,
TO with $40 minutes left in the
opening quarter. From then on
Sidney scored with ease.
BY the end of the first period
the locals were out in front 23-13.
The margin was increased to As
% at haftime and 66-27 at the
three quarter mark.
nxx+ - CsJ~oxy- An -ooOvI L11f
point total only 10 of them were
made by members of the starting
five. Ron Quilting, Ron Munoz
and Dale Winter rested all of
the final quarter and John Mar
man and Craig Price were in that
last eight minutes for just a few
moments.
Fergus, although winless, is a
better team than they displayed
Friday night. For the night they
made only IL field goals out of
SO attempts for a dismal 17%. In
the last half they made only four
of 35 shots for the unbelievable
low percentage of 10. For a
team to vim shooing that poor
is practically an impossibility.
Sidney, with a number of easy
layins made "a out of 70 shots for
a very good 1870. Fergus, along
with their poor shooting, display
ed an ineffective defense against
the smooth working, fast moving
locals.
Four Sidney players scored in
the double figures. Topping the
list was Marman with Is. Munoz,
starting his first ball game, made
Ia, Quilting IL and Dick Helten
IL. Winter, especially in the first
half, was terrific on the boards.
For the losers, Donald McNees,
a nephew of Sidney's Principal
Donald Kingery, was high with
10.
Saturday nights game was just
about a repeat performance. The
Laurel Locomotives were help
less against the on-charging
Eagles and went down to their 9th
defeat 66-40.
Again in this contest it was a
team victory for Sidney. No play
er was particularly outstanding
and all worked together well.
The locals had quarter leads
of 1875, Bait and 54-25. Only in
the fourth period when the
"Trainmen" outscored Sidney IS
IL, did the game appear as the
