Inman, the Chinook head gunner, is a former Wolf Point boy. If he held any affection for his former school, he failed to display it, by racking up 17 points to be high point man for the victorious Sugar-beet ers. In the back-ground, also tense with action, is Tommy Garoutte, 55, of Wolf Point high school. The Chinook boys won 39-22, in the first home game played in Wolf Point Thursday evening. H. S.
