Seattle U. to Invade
Corvallis-Eugene
Me, too!
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.

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.

W.S. 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.

new step under the basketball net. The game, which found the 509-J

November.
