In the tournament opening
games this afternoon in the Bill
lings Shrine Auditorium Glendive
met Hardin at 200 and Great

Mann, Kermit Petersen, Dennis
Williams and Roger Berry and
sophomores Bob st. Cyr and Ernie
Olness. Team manager is junior
Lanny Vader.
Sidney is trying for their third
Class A tournament championship
in a row.
Many expect this affair to be
the most closely contested one in
the past four years. All teams with
the possible exception of Laurel
have shown real potential at times.
The Mustangs by virtue OF their
two wins over the 20 = leaders
should be picked as favorites but
there are those who predict Great
Falls will never reach the finals.
Actually any Of the first division
clubs are capable Of going all the
way.
Sidney's Eagles will have plenty
of fan support as owe 400 stu
dents and adult spectators r
making the trip. No school with
the possible exception OF Billings
Central will have a greater follow
ing.

100 RECORDS.
For the third year in a row coach
Toby Kangas's Eagles have won
either a share of the title or the
coveted award outright. In 1887
the Mustangs and Eagles tied with
14-4 records and last season unde-
feated Sidney sat in the top spot
alone. In both of those years Sid
ney went on to win the tourna-
ment, a feat the present Eagles
will be trying to triplicate this
week in Billings.
During this past season Sidney
was in first place the first two
weeks but then after a loss to
Miles City had to be content with
second until the final night. Their
two other losses were both to the
co-champions. In four years these
two losses were the first by Sidney
to Great Falls Central.
The Mustangs besides Havre lost
to Glasgow and sixth place Glen

In a drawing held in Butte last
Saturday by representatives of the

National population growth is
up 11% and in Montana up
l0h %, thus offering excellent
markets for farm products, but
population shifts, particularly to
the Pacific Coast, are causing
changes in market locations, and
bringing Montana farmers closer
to their markets. Consumer de-
mands are also changing, Huffman
said, with people eating go less
wheat, and more dairy products,
meat, fruits and poultry. Farmers
must meet these changed demands.
He suggested that some of the
problems may be at least partially
met by "integrated" agriculture,
citing contract feeding of live
stock on a year round basis, max
ing use of increased barley pro-
duction for feeding, as an ex-

High fixed costs and large
capital investment needed, as well
as a poor bargaining position Of

handicaps to be faced.
