Terry Squiemphen from Warm Springs went on to win that event. Earl Squiemphen Photo Bowling Wrap Up T here was no question in anyone’s mind of Zane Jackson bowling team emerging as bowl ing champions for this year. By winning all th ree q u a rte rs, sporting a team with names of Muskopf, E llis, Jim , Tana- w asha, L., and W right, they consistently kept the pressure on the re s t of the team s all year long. The evidence is c le a r as John Wright rolled a perfect 300 gam e on D ecem ber 28 which gave him Hi-scratch. Wright has also had five series over 700 and they are as follows: 768, 764, 747, 728, and 723. He has had single games of 289, 279, and 2 each of 277 and 275. This y e a r ’s roll-off was to determ in e 2nd place among th ree team s tied ; they w ere Thom as Sales and Service, Warm Springs Chevron and M adras Auto Supply as the latter came through to place 2nd with team m em bers of Dick Souers, Wes Pendergraft, Geo rge DeJarnett, Cecil Seyler and Ray Shike. The two winners will enter the tournament of Champions in Milwaukie the first p a rt of the month of May. Here are some statistics for the y ear. Mike Clem ents won high sc ra tc h with 729, Dick Souers won the high handicap of 753, John W right won the high scratch with 300. Gene Peles won the high handicap single game of 285, high average went to-John W right a t 209 for 90 games, and the most improved bowler for the y e a r was Mike Clem ents picking up 27 pins from 172 to a 199 average.

S p ily a y A lerted . . , Blazers Came To Kah-Nee-Ta There was a rumor that the Trailblazers were visiting Kah- Nee-Ta on Saturday, April 29th. Being one of their idle days from the playoffs, Spilyay decided to check this out. So he rushes to the office, picks up a couple rolls of film , hops into the c a r and takes off with a big grin feeling proud of himself to be covering this story. In route to Kah-nee-Ta there were all so rts of thoughts ru n ning through Spilyay’s mind — all sorts of headlines and dif ferent approaches to the subject. This is going to be the story for this issue. Blazers at Kah-Nee- Ta! Spilyay w ondered how he should have them pose, or would candid shots be b etter? Who would he interview first? He was making all these plans in order to sim plify things when he a r rived there. At la st he a rriv e s a t Kah- Nee-Ta and first goes to the lodge and asks about the Trail blazers. It w as learned they were down a t the V illage so Spilyay rushes down to the Vil lage office to get information. The girls a t the front desk said the T railb lazers w ere in teepees num ber one through seven and that there was going to be a local group putting on a powwow for them a t 8 p.m . It was discovered that instead of being 6’7” or so, the Blazers were 13-14 year-old Boy Scouts calling their group the Columbi an Trail Blazers. Well, at this point it appear ed that someone took the candy right out of Spilyay’s mouth — he shrugs his shoulders, turns and says, “Win a few, and lose a few.” National Creek Olympics The age lim it for those wishing to p a rtic ip a te in the Creek Nation National Olympic has been extended to 20 years.

Floyd was champion for several matches and then succumbed to a bigger kid. For more on mini-classes see pages 6 and 7.
