“I’ve got my work cut out for me. Pittsburgh drafted a lot of tackles,” was the report from former Sandpoint Bulldog standout Dick Arndt, professional football lineman who reports next week to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ training camp.

The handsome young giant (260 lbs.) was originally drafted by the Los Angeles Rams, but was traded to Green Bay, where he joined Jerry Kramer, Sandpoint’s other pro football great. He was then traded to Pittsburgh early last season.

July 10, 1918 — NEW POLICE CHIEF

Whether Chief Young’s decision was induced by talk at the council or not, cannot be stated with definiteness, but anyway some of the council had their own opinions of the chief’s duties and the chief is now an ex-chief. Jaeger does not seem to have any great hankering for the job, so it is still unsettled.
