The IntermounUiin Conference,
which many thought might wind
up In a two or three-way tie this
season, is also decided so far as
the first and second-place spots
are concerned.
A lot of people figured this
year's Intcrmountain Conference
champion might wind up with as
many as four or five losses. But
Friday night Baker rolled to its
1 1 til league win in 12 tries, beat
ing Prineville 03-43 to cincb first
place.
The Bulldogs had already been
assured of a berth in the state A-l
tourney at Eugene this March.
And Hermiston, with a slight
assist from Redmond, gained the
runnerup spot by beating Bend
47-41 while Redmond turned back
third-place Pendleton 53-49.
Hermiston, after losing at
Prineville 75-59 February 3, has
now rolled to three straight wins
including victori.3 over La
Grande, Baker and Bend.
Individually, Hermiston doesn't
have a y one standout player.
But, collectively, the Bulldogs
are a pesky outfit They may not
appear to have much, but they
usually get the job done.
One thing that Hermiston has
going for it this season is a hust
ling ball - hawking zone defense
that can frustrate a lot of good
teams.
And it certainly frustrated the
Bend Lava Bears here Friday
night.
The Bruins went with their
"tall five" that averaged 6-3. The
Bulldogs countered with a full
court press. While the press didn't
give Bend too bad a time, the
Bruins had a hard time keeping
the ball once they got over the
10-second line.
Time after time the Bulldogs,
jamming the key or converging

on a Bend player, swiped the ball
away from the Bruins.
Likewise, Hermiston didn't
have many good shots against the
tall Bend zone, with the Bruin
players also hustling hard. The re
sult was a ragged game with
neither team lookins very good.
Hermiston won the game at
the free throw line, hitting on 17
of 29 free throws though trailing
hi field goals 16-15. Bend, having
another bad night at the gift
stripe, made only nine free throws
on 16 tries.
Except for Chambers, who
wound up with 18 points, Bend
didn't have much going offensive
ly. Ted Peterson and Gary Mo
Kinney were runnersup for Bend
in the point production with six
each.
Hermiston's Bud Stratton and
Rich Frazier, both reserves, each
hit 10 points, while starting cen
ter Larry Crume had nine. But
Hermiston Coach George DeLap
alternated 10 players of about
equal ability, and the formula
was enough to throw the Bruins,
who lost their eleventh league
game in 12 tries this season.
After an 8-7 first quarter lead,
Hermiston boosted its margin to
15-9 early in the second quarter.
Three points was as close as
Bend was able to get after that,
with Hermiston keeping the pres
sure on all the way.
Stratton was the big man in
Hermiston's 12-point fourth quart

Tonight Bend hosts the fast
fading Pendleton Bucks, while
