ROCKY CUMMINS INVITED TO NASHVILLE
An invitation to Nashville, Tennessee, the home of gospel and country music, has been extended one of Poplar's own � Rocky Cummins, PH S graduate and 21-year-old son of Mr. & Mrs. Fred Cummins, who has been raised in the local Assembly of God faith.
But this story really began a month ago when Rocky joined the local Wayne Boyd family and traveled to Plentywood to help provide special music for series of Christian Fellowship meetings being conducted by Rev. Jimmy Snow, pastor of Nashville's Evangel Temple Church.
Accompan i ng himself on guitar, he sang one gospel selection alone each of two eve nings, but that was en    jh.   Rev. Snow wcis impressed, as was John Denny, owner and manager of one of the Music City's largest and most prominent publishing firms on Music Row.
Both men know talent, and both agreed this young man had what it takes insofar as talent is concerned, but much more important, they felt he w as a young Christian with a desire to use his talents as a ministry and offering for Jesus Christ. So, in addition to getting the best in help toward a musical career. Rocky has been offered the opportunity to attend a two-year Christian ministry course at Ev*angel Temple,  But, it didn't end there. Accompanying Rev. and Mrs, Snow, and John Denny to the Plentywood meeting in December were Mr, & Mrs. Ned Joyner � owner and manager of Joyner and Hogan commercial printing and office supply firm of Nashville.  Their home is a lovely lakeside villa in Hendersonville, just outside of Nashville, and they have invited Rocky to come and live with them while he is in Tennessee .

The Indians split a pair of con ference basketball games this weekend.   Friday, Glasgow came to town and took home all the marbles.  Quickly, apparent in this ganic , was the hustle exhibited by a coordinated Glasgow attack.   They came out hot, and held the Indians off for the entire four quarters.   The final score was 65-43, Glasgow. Saturday night was a different story after the 1st 5 minutes of the game with Wolf Point. The Indians caught on fire, and at times ran their offense comparable to the '74 conference season.  The Indians won the game 71-53, for their first conference a in of the 1975 conference season. The Indians came out cold both games, particularly the Glasgc-v game.  Cne thing
that we've noticea is that the Inalan fast break isn't quite up to snuff.   This is primar-il / because of the injury to Kenny Smoker': hand. We, trie sportswriters, by an oversight, neglected to mention Ken Smoker's role in the Browning win.  You see, the Braves were thinning that thev had won with 7 seconds left in the game.  But Smoker took the ball, lofted approximately a 20 foot shot, and tied the score putting the gome into over time.  Then his play-making leadership sparked the overtime victory.  His style of play � as evident in the second quarter during the Glasgow game, when the 'ndians made a try at a comeback.  Being Captain of the team, is really on appropriate honor for Kenny Smoker.
