EAGLES OUTSCORE MUSTANGS
IN RUGGED CONTEST, Sal

The Sidney Eagles forged full
speed ahead last Friday night
when they outScored the Great
Falls Central Mustangs 52-41 in a
rugged contest before a large
crowd in the Sidney gymnasium.
Coach Haugen had the Eagles in
Shape to do great things and they
did for the most part. Their de-
tense was admirable and they
passed and worked the ball
mudn better than in previous
home contests. With Fischer, 6'4",
Harper, 81, Olness, 6'3", Quilting,
6'2", Fladmo, 5'9", Haugen has
added some height to the squad
and they are able DO control the
defensive board almost 1907 and
do very we'll on getting their own
rebounds. Although Fischer excel
led in rebounds ON both boards,
it would be an injustice to fail
TO mention Harper, OlneSs, Quill
ing, Fladmo and Petersen for the
job they each did. Aside from re-
iOounding ability, they all r po-
ltentIal p~oint-gotters SO things are
really looking UP. Fischer tied
with Centrals Krier with IA
points for high Individual scor-
ing and Fladmo got into the dou-
bile figures with IL. Fischer can
