Madras drops final game
When the bow breaks the
cradle will fall. So ended the
football season for the Madras
White Buffaloes. It was from
one extreme to the other and
bowing out of state contention
completely.
The Madras White Buffaloes scored their last point fo r the year, a kick fo r the extra point after their
touch down against Burns. Burns went on to upset the Buffs to a 20-7 score.

I.N.F.R.
Rodeo glory very dim this
year here in Warm Springs for
the Indian National Finals
R o d e o c o m p e titio n a t
Albuquerque. From the final
standings of the Western States
Indian Rodeo Association
there were no local contestants
listed among the top two
finishers in any event to
compete in the INFR.
The closest to qualify for the
National Finals this year was
C.R. Squiemphen who finished
the season in third place among
all the girl barrel racers.
While finishing third in the
g irls b a rre l race, C .R .
Squiemphen was the only girl
listed among the contestants
for the all-around title of the
W e ste rn S ta te s R o d eo
Association, C.R. active in
barrel racing and the roping
events placed her right among
the contenders which is quite
an accomplishments for a girl.

Going into their final game
riding on a four win and no loss
record in the Greater Oregon
League, with just a win to
clinch the title and a spot in the
state play-offs came to an
abrupt end on the evening of
October 29, when the Burns
Hilanders came to town to win
the football game. Not only did
the title hopes fade away but
the entire bid for state play
disappeared by the flip of the
coin.
The rules are, the odd man
out and for Vale and Burns it
was heads while the Buffs came
up with tails and out. Just like
that, with just a flip of a coin
and Vale comes out the N o .l
seed from the GOL while Burns
is the No. 2 team from the area.
The flip of the coin cam? when
the Buffs lost to Burns causing
a three way tie for first place
with each team having a 4-1
record.
It was very disappointing
how the season ended after
such a fine showing all season
long. The boys did a great job
and need to be commended for
all of their efforts. There were
things that were accomplished
during the season, one Madras
beat Vale for the first time on
back to back seasons, another
first is^ since Coach Rod
Chester has been in Madras
they have never beaten Mac Hi
on their home field which they
did this year quite handly.
There should be some boys
selected to the all conference
team both on offense and
defense because they all done
real well.
Well it is said, “If you take
one step forward and slip back,
take another one, eventually
you’ll make it.” Another year
ended.

W.S. boxers victorious
One step at a time is a moto
that usually works well. The
Warm Springs boxing club
has taken its first step this
season by entering five boys in
a Novice and Sub-novice
boxing tournament at Hood
River just recently.
Out of five boys who entered
the tournament four of them
came home winners and one
runner-up which is not a bad
start for any boxing team.
Coach Gerald Smith said the
boys have been working very
hard so far and really deserved
the win. The only set back is not
bad being out pointed in the
final bout to become the
runner-up.
Coming home in the winners
column were Andy Stacona of
the 10-11 year old at 65 pounds.
Ryan Eagleheart at 10-11 year
old 75 pound class, Delbert
Lawson 12-13 year old 75
pound class and Roland
Caldera special senior division
at 147 pounds. Gary Gamble
was the runner up in the 14-15
year old at 112 pounds. All the
boys showed a lot of promise
fo r th e ir firs t tim e in
competition.
There were several teams
from around the area, the city
o f P o r t l a n d ; C o w litz ,
Washington; West Eugene;
Washington County and the
Golden Eagle boxing club.
On November 13, there will
be a smoker in the Warm
Springs Community Center to
be hosted by the WSBC. This
will be the first home boxing
card for the year.
The coaches continue to
work closely with the boys in
preparation for the coming
season. The boys show a lot of
promise specially those Who
met their first competitive test
recently.
If there is anyone who is
interested in joining the boxing
club should report to the
fishing on the Deschutes River has a good outlook. The
coaches at practice which starts Steelhead
season, however, demands warm clothes and the sport demands
at 6 p.m. each day Monday
much patience.
