Eagles Run Over
Bismarck; Play
Lewistown Friday

For the second consecutive night
the Sidney Eagles ~outScored NORTH
Dakota teams in non-conference
basketball games when they de-
feated the Bismarck Demons, last
wears North Dakota Champions,
TO the tune of 91-57. Both teams
were slow to get started when
the ball refused to pass through
the net in either basket. Finally,
with 4 minutes and 33 seconds
left to play in the first quarter,
Ron Harper dropped in a free
throw for the first point in the
game. Bismarck didn't tally I'M
Ill S minutes and IS seconds had
elapsed since the opening jump
ball: Morrison dumped in a free
throw at that time. Bismarck did
MT connect with a field goal
until the second quarter. The
relief from the press of the night
before enabled the Eagles to ex-
hibit to a large crowd their abil-
aties 10 a greater degree. Eleven
Eagles saw action and each dis
played potential talents for COM
ing conference play. Even after
seeing the Eagles in action two
nights it would be nothing short
OF a guess to predict correctly
the starter in every position for
the next game. Field goal per-
centage: Sidney-32.8eo, Williston
33%; Sidney 49,, Bismarck 32T.
OF notable interest is the scor-
ing ability of the teams as a
whole. Seven members of the
team racked up an impressive
number of points. High scorer

Bob Jensen with "a IA in the
last Quarter); he racked up u
against Williston. McMorris,
Bmtson, Olness each had 10
points; Ron Harper had 9; Bob ST.

sophomores, Bob F1admo and Ron
Harper proved themselves con-
tenders for regular positions on
the starting five.
This Friday night Coach Ray
Dodds and his Sidney Eagles will
meet the Lewdstown Eagles at
Lewistown for the first confer
@ce game of the season. The
following night, Saturday, Deem :

Are SmoII-Cor Spaces

otherwise be required.
If they are turned down on
this request they are asking
in the alternative that they

Robert o. Clouser, director of

Former kodiakan Tells Of Travels

A former Kodiak businessman, former councilman and ex-K0diak ROtarian who is reviSiting Kodiak for the first time since his de parture 12 years ago told Rotar- ians at their noon luncheon Tues day in the 49 Room of the activi- ties of himself and family in the intervening years.
 The speaker was Harry Christo- pher, who came to work at the naval base in 194O and then ope- rated Christie's bakery from 1941 to 1947.
 From Kodiak Harry, his wife Fleeta and daughter Gail went to Montana where he worked on the Hungry Horse dam project. Finish ing that job he went with Morrl son-Knudsen on an airport build ing contract to CaSablanca. Return ing to the States he next signed for two years of road building in Ethiopia, where his wife and daughter were able to join him. Gail attended a French-speaking school and they had opportunity for many side trips in Africa.
 Harry'S next job was in Jordan, building roads under the old Point 4 program. His wife and daughter joined him there also, and they visited the Holy Land on vaca- ton trip. When political troubles developed there Mrs. Christopher son and daughter left for home and got out with all their Souve- mfrs and belongings, which was fortunate, he said, because many Americans later lost everything they owned there.
 He stayed, but was finally evacuated with the project incom- pleted. To complete his contract he worked in Beirut, Lebanon, Karachi, Pakistan and Afghani-

Fall From Cliff Ends In Death

Carl Paul Coon, twelve-and-a- half year old son of Mayor and Mrs. Merrill Coon, died Sunday night of injuries sustained as he fell about 100 feet Sunday after noon from cliff at Fort Aber- crombie.
 Carl and his younger brother. Corky, accompanied together with Roger King, accompanied Merrill Coon to the recreational area at Abercrombie Sunday afternoon. Young Carl played with several boys for a while, and wandered over by the cliffs at Miller Point. The boys were gathering empty cartridges. No one witnessed young Carl fall, but he apparently at tempted to reach something close to the cliffs edge, lost his foot ing, and plunged to the bottom.
 The first the father knew of the accident was when Carl's little brother, Corky, came to him, and said the older boy lay at the bot tom of the cliff.
 Investigating, the father then saw his boy lying on the shore. Two men nearby, George T. Clark, YN3, and Calvin R. Weinheimer, YN2, proceeded down the cliff, and brought the boy up. Tn the mean time Coon drove to the nearest telephone and summoned the am- bulance.
 Carl was taken unconscious to the hospital, having been given emergency treatment by Dr. A. Holmes Johnson. He passed away at 1:5O a.m., Monday.
 Carl was born December 30, 1946. He was very active boy, and a member of Boy Scout Troop No. 626.
 He is survived by both his par ents, Merrill and Louise Coon, a brother, Charles Courtland, and sister, Patricia Downing, Kirkland, Washington.
 Funeral services were held We'd neSday morning at the Community Baptist Church, Dr. John Molletti officiating. Interment followed at the City cemetary.
