One shoe on and one shoe off, Fabian Sutterlee raced back into the game when the action came his way, then later retreated to the sidelines to put himself back together. The Jan. 12 basketball benefit was full of such antics and netted $199 for Hazel Suppah. SpilyayTymoo Photo by CDS. SPO R T S Australian Team Set to Visit Teen Club Places Third in a six-team, nineteen-and- under basketball tournament held in Nespelem, Washington, January 6 and 7, the Warm Springs Teen Club boys, coached by Lyle Rhoan, Sr., won third place. According to Rhoan, the team “did pretty good” and he said he was “real pleased with the boys’ performance.” This was the Teen Club’s first tourna ment this season. The tourney boasted five teams from the local area of the Colville reservation, according to Rhoan, with Warm Springs being the only visiting team. The team that beat Warm Springs out of second place was the Colville Tribe, which Rhoan described as their “regular team.” Early in the game, the Warm Springs team was leading but “got tired” said Rhoan. The game ended with a ten point loss for Warm Springs. Lyle said the Colville team was older, more mature, and had size over the eleven boys he took to Nespelem. Rebounds were hard to pull down because Col ville “pushed us out of the way” he said. The Omak Eagles won the two-day tourney, with the Col ville and Warm Springs teams taking second and third re spectively. Warm Springs All-stars who received windbreakers were: Austin Greene, Jacob Frank Jr., and A1 Estimo. The next game for the Teen Club is scheduled tentatively for January 19 and 20, against a team from Australia. The teams, both boys and girls, play varsity and are currently attending school in Nehalem, a small com munity on the Oregon coast. Delson Suppah, Warm Springs Grade School community liaison, has been trying to reach the team to confirm the date with no success, because of the school closure in Nehalem due to snow. If the Australian team is able to come over the mountains, they will arrive today and will be taken on a tour of the reserva tion and will play this evening. The second game will be played mid-morning on Saturday, Janu ary 20. The games will be played at the Community Center both days. The visitors will leave Saturday afternoon. TEEN CLUB GIRLS The girls. basketball team has been inactive because of a conflicting season with the Madras High School. Lyle is quite pleased that a large num ber of Warm Springs girls are playing for Madras because “good positive things are hap pening over there.” The girls who usually play for the Teen Club are proving to be a valuable asset to the fresh man squad who have built a sea son record of 6-1. Their most cur rent win was over Grant Union, an impressive 49-20, with Rosa Wallulatum scoring 18 points. The teen girls season will be gin shortly after the high school season ends. Kim The Seattle University Wo men’s Basketball team invades Corvallis and Eugene for games on January 27 and 29. The team, under Coach Cathy Benedetto, currently has an 11-2 record. , The trip will be a highlight of the season for Oregon players Kim Manion, from Warm Sp rings and Barb E arl from Mad ras. Kim, a sophomore, is the starting point guard. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Manion, of Warm Springs. Barb, a 5’10” sophomore forward has played an invaluable reserve role coming into games as the sixth man: She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Earl of Barb Madras. The Chieftain women will meet the Oregon State Univer sity team on January 27. They will move on to play the University of Oregon in Eugene on January 29. Coach Benedetto’s team has defeated teams including the University of New Mexico Lobos, the University of Washington, Pacific Lutheran University and Portland University. Sophomore C.J.

Boxers Learning The Hard Way Traveling to TSugene, Janu ary 6 and 7, for an “Open” and “Special, Sr.” tournament, six Warm Springs boys came on the “short end” because they were “too inexperienced” according to coaches Ron Govenor and Fabian Sutterlee, Sr. All six, boxers were eliminated after losing their first fight. The tournament drew some very talented and experienced fighters from five states and Canada and involved over 300 fighters to make up 38 teams. The five states included Wash ington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, and California. The first day 72, three-round matches were held in two rings going at the same time. TODD DANZUKA, 178 lb. senior division, lost to Elmer Martin, Vallejo, California. Mar-- tin just returned trom Rumania, where he competed as a member of the U.S. Boxing team. He is the current 178 lb. title holder in the United States and Danzuka may have had a chance to make it to the semi-finals had he not been put up against the National champion. Danzuka lasted for three rounds before the referee stopped the fight. According to the coaches, Martin usually puts his opponents away in the first round. Danzuka is one of the very few boxers that has made it past the second round against Martin. LUCAS IKE, 139 lb. special senior division, had a very close fight against Juan Swaez, Stock- ton, California, losing by a decision, according to Govenor. Ike has only three bouts under his belt but is expected to be a tough competitor after he gains the experience needed in any sport. DARREL WALLULATUM, 132 lb. senior division, had a rough time against Burns, David Carvillo. Wallulatum lost by a third round technical knockout. DESMOND TEWEE, 122 lb. junior division suffered a loss by John Jackson, Tacoma, Wash ington, after a first round techni cal knockout. Desmond started boxing at a young age but has been idle for a few years. BYRON BERRY, and GALE LAWRENCE, JR., 156 lb. special senior division, fought against each other because they were in the same division. Berry turned up victorious rewarded with a jacket and patch.
