The Sidney herald., 1958-10-01

vided Glendive with their in
itial loss 1870.
In other league action Billings
Central downed Hardin 14-6,
Lewistown staggered Laurel $50
and Sidney ~outlasted Glasgow
27-19. Glendive, Havre, Billings
Central and Sidney T now tied
with 81 records.
Game of the week this week
puts Miles City at Havre. Other
Friday games finds Sidney at
Lewistown and Glasgow at Har-
din. Saturday Great Falls Cen
trail is at Billings Central and
Laurel at Glendive.
Sidney remains on the road
this week as they attempt to stay
in the running for the Glass A
crown. To do this the Eagles
must win their remaining games.
Following this weeks action the
locals play Havre, Billings Cen
trail, Hardin and Miles City in
that order. They do not play the
league leading Mustangs.
Lewistown, coached by Don
Perkins evidently have one Of
their best teams in years. Their
margin over Laurel was one
point better than Sidney'S and
they tied a very strong Custer
County club. They were defeated
by three touchdowns by Great
Falls Central.
The squad which operates from
the Information is big and fast.
From end to end the forward
wall will have a definite weight
advantage over the local Eagles.
Fergus's outstanding back is Jack
Marshall, who has displayed plen-
ty of power from the fullback
spot.
Again this week Sidney will
not be at full strength. Injured
in last weeks game and lost for
the remainder of the season is
Bob st. Cyr. This sophomore
quarterback suffered "a leg in
jury in the Glasgow game. SEN
ior tackle Mike Jones will be
sidelined for at least two more
weeks and junior guard Al Mann
who missed the Scotty game be-
cause of sickness will not likely
play for another week.
The Sidney squad, 25 strong,
will leave Friday morning by bus.
They will return sometime Satur-
day.
Sidney 81, Glasgow 10
Last Friday night the Sidney
Eagles overcame an early Glas-
Cow lead, then withstood a last
quarter Scotty rally to win their
second conference football game.
The Eagles played their best
two quarters of the year as backs
George Weber raced for three
touchdowns and Keith Groshart
one to take a 27-6 half-time lead.
Particularly noticeable was the
improved downfield blocking by
the locals.
The second half and more espe-
cially the fourth quarter found
a tired Sidney eleven desperately
trying to withstand a never-say-
die Glasgow team which scored
twice, narrowing the margin 81
10.
Glasgow received the opening
kickoff and put the ball in play
on their own rs. On the first
play a long pass was seemingly
broken up but end Chuck Shell
don plucked the batted ball out
of the air and raced to the Sid
ney Is before being tackled. Lar
ry Powers picked up ii yards in
two plays and then Ken Neiskins
carried over for the score. A
kicking try for the extra point
was short.
Sidney started their first Of
fensive action from their own 48
and it took them just five plays
to tie the score.
Craig Price, on a play where
everyone but the center lines up
far to the left of the ball, carried
to the Scotty 35. Weber, Ron
Munoz and Groshart each gain
ed five yards in three plays. Then
Webber behind some devastating
blocks went the final 20 yards.
A running try for the point was
stopped with but half the quar-
ter gone.
Moments later Groshart inter-
cepted a Glasgow pass at mid
field but the Scotties regained
possession when they recovered
an Eagle tumble. However just
before the quarter ended Sidney
was back on offense, this time
on Glasgow's 49.
Price gained one yard and
Munoz seven. Then Weber, 60
ing through his wi left side OF
the line, broke through a group
Of would-be tacklers going all
the way. Munoz put Sidney ahead
1877 as he ran for the point.
A Glasgow drive that started
from their own 38 carried to Sid
ney's "a before the Eagle line
closed the holes and took over
on downs.
One pass was incomplete and
two running plays by Munoz, the
Eagle workhorse, gained nine.
Then on a fourth down situation
Price carried to his own 40. On
the next play Groshart pushed
his way through the left side
and after a key block by Weber
raced 81 yards for Sidney's third
tally. Again Munoz ran for the
