Buffs win For the sixth year in a row the Madras White Buffaloes have won the Greater Oregon League bas ketball championship, this year with a convincing win over the Ontario Tigers. It wasn't until the last minutes of the game before the Buffs could put the "Noose," on the tough Ontario Tigers, last Sat., March 7, before a near capacity hometown crowd. Well, nearly a hometown crowd because there were several Ontario backers on hand cheering their chargers on in a tough game which could have gone either way. This was a do-or-die game for the Buffs. If they had lost the game there would have been a four way tie for first place and who knows which team could have came out No. 1. But the win over Ontario gave the Buffs the un-disputed cham pionship of the GOL with a 9-3 final standing. Leaving Baker, McLaughlin and Nyssa tied for second each with a 8-4 record. This was one of the coldest nights, shooting wise for the Buffs, as sev eral shots would hit the rim and bounce astray. It looked as though they couldn't even buy a basket at times. The Buffaloes put up a tough zone defense forcing the Tigers to New race rules for Pendleton Round-Up The Pendleton Round-Up Association earlier this month announced a new race rule for the annual September races held in conjunctions with the rodeo. The rule states, "All race participants will be required to wear proper race helmets during all races at the 1987 Pendleton Round-Up. Anyone Youth urged to be drug-free The name Jim Thorpe creates the image of a tall, slim Sac and Fox Indian athlete in many winds. Many could make the same state ment as the King of Sweden did when he presented Jim Thorpe the Olympic Gold Medal and stated: "Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world." Today the impact of spectacular, athletic achievements are still felt. Two years ago, Inside Sports (Sports Magazine) rated Jim Thorpe as the top athlete of all time. Just last year, Sports Illustrated rated Jim Thorpe as the number one athlete of the Century. To the American Indian athlete the name Jim Thorpe is like a spirit that drives him to compete by dig ging deep down within himself to bring out his best athletic skills. What Jackie Robertson was to the American black athlete, Jim Thorpe was to the American Indian Athlete. They both broke the racial barrier for their people in athletics. The success of Jim Thorpe went beyond his drive to compete and j Ms f During the six feet end under tournament held recently the Ft Hall team put up a scrappy battle with the Magpies before they fell to defeat The Simnasho Travelers won the championship by beating the Magpies in the finals. GOL crown, shoot from the premiter which they did with accuracy jumping out to a 14-6 first quarter lead. In the second quarter the Buffs came charging back scoring eight points before Ontario could collect a field goal from the out side. Ontario only managed just six points in that quarter and were leading 20-15 with under a minute remain ing in the first half. The Buffs moved the ball down court and scored. The Buffs picked up a loose ball and scored again making it 20 19, when the Tigers tried to go for the last shot when they lost the ball and the Buffs lost no time in getting the ball down court to score as time ran out giving the Buffg the lead at half time 21-20, and their first lead in the game. It was a nip-n-tuck ball game from the moment go, and as the third quarter got under way the Tigers turned the tables by mus cling their way by taking over the lead once again as they outscored the Buffs 12-7, and were ahead 32 28 going into the final stanza. In the final quarter the Buffs came out cool and collected as they slowly plucked away at the Tiger lead allowing them only four points not complying with this rule will not be allowed to participate." Each team will receive a card which needs to be read and signed that the team knows and under stands the new rule if they intend to take part in the races this year. The Round-Up Associaton has his athletic skills. It was his over all control of abstaining from unat hletic activities. Mr. Thorpe knew that good athle tic performance demanded a self disciplined lifestyle that included good training habits, a good diet, proper rest, and to abstain from the use of alcohol and drugs. The results would be improved skills, a high sense of awareness, controlled behavior and a positive concept of life. Competition causes the athlete to get in touch with himself, which creates a positive self image of him self, and a better communication level with himself. His goals are to compete and to perform at his best. Athletes know that a good diet means good nutrition and high powered fuel for the body to per form well. Junk food does not offer that. Substance abuse is not the lifes tyle of any true athlete, for he. knows that alcohol will not sharpen his skills, nor will drugs improve his timing. V"...v':; I 'i, .-sm .,. J ''. , on to state while they steadily closed the door on the Tigers. Somehow the Tiger shooting went cold as Lowman and Donahue each missed two apiece at the foul line and they only scored four points in the entire quarter. To pour salt into the wound their big guy Hudgcs fouled out and a few minutes later their top guard Donahue picked up his fifth and and final four and had to leave the game. The Buffs went on to win the game and the championship of the GOL for the sixth time in a row. Leading the way for the home town boys was Todd McGuire mak ing his final appearance in the Blue Red and white colors of the Buffa loes. He topped all scorers with 14 points. Mark Williams another senior contributed nine points for the winning cause. Brett Whipple added eight, Steve Cordill six and Tony Stacona rounded out the scoring with four points.

Before the game, in the locker room, the coaches observe each player, and if alcohol is detected on one player, that player is pulled from the roster for that game. It is not Indian culture, nor an athletic value or lifestyle to be a victim of substance abuse. The ath lete knows the negatives of sub stance abuse, plus, if injury should occur, proper healing may not take place. Warm Springs youth have a lot of athletic energy, and great athletic skills, but in order for athletic achievements, there must be a good life pattern of self-discipline abstain ing from substance abuse. The athle tic lifestyle is almost a culture in itself. So follow the rules and prin cipals of a good lifestyle and athletic success will be at your finger tips.
