pretty tough to make the varsity. All the basketball programs
are super but all the kids can't make the varsity team, just the 10 or
so and that leaves all the rest of the kids twiddling their fingers with
nothing to do.
What we do really need is programs in wrestling for the kids at
an earlier age like some other schools. There are a lot of potentials
for a good wrestling team around but because these kids were
never exposed to wrestling earlier they don't take interest in high
school. Each year Crook County is a power house in wrestling and
arc well represented in each meet they attend. They are always well
represented in state each year. That's because they have a wrestling
program for their youngsters at an early age. There is no reason
why this couldn't happen around here. There could be some tough
competitors around here if only the sport were introduced the the
kids at an earlier age.

Now that all the winter sports
arc all tucked away for another
year in all the schools we look
forward to the spring sports,
such as softball and track.
At this point I would like to
look back and view what we
have here in Central Oregon.
For one thing we have a good
basketball program each year
for the youngsters. It all starts
out from the Kiwanis basket
ball program for the 8 year olds
and up and from there they
move into Jr. High for the 7th
and 8th grade basketball teams.
Also in the Jr. High, if the boys
and girls can't make the travel
ing team there is the intramural
basketball for the rest of the
kids. By the time they all get
into high school the picking gets

Tygh Valley rodeo is
To the Editor,
The purpose of this letter is to
stop rumors that the All Indian
Rodeo in Tygh Valley is not taking
place this year. That is certainly
not true. We are going on as strong
as ever.
Thanks for memorable event

Roadrunners
To the Editor,
The wait was well worth the
effort for the Northwest Roadrun
ners to defend their 1983 title as
champions of the seventh annual
Magpies Six-foot and under tour
nament. The team was never invited
back to defend the title after 1983.
The team was informed just days
before the tournament that they
were included in the tournament. It
was difficult to contact players for
commitment. . .were very fortu
nate to get the players we did.
The team roster include Bob
Main, James Cabontoy, Jeff Greene,
James Scott, Rick Gallegos, Larry
Scott and Suppah.
We had a very tough schedule,
but that's the name of the game,
good rough competition. We fig
ured as a team, that once we got by
the competition, we were there.
Our only concern was the refe
reeing, which is supposed to be the
neutral party on the court. But that
never seems to be the case, espe
cially when playing the host team.
Unfair refrerring really hurts the
tournament and makes teams not
want to return. We do thank Aus
tin Greene for inviting us this year.
Whether we get invited back and
get seated with a BYE as thedefend
ing champs, we will have to wait
until next vear's tournament.
You never get improvement, as a
player or a team, by playing the
easy teams every year. When you
do come up against competition,
the team will fold in defeat a major
ity of the time. We don't win them

all, but we sure have fun trying. We
use our defeats as a stepping stone
and a learning experience. In a
majority of the tournaments, we
were in the competitive brackets
which is great for our players. We
have grown as a team and we have
learned to never under estimate or
degrade anyone. No one has all the
talents.
Like every other organization,
you can be good, but the leadership
can go stale or bad. That's when it's
time for a change and try to build
things back up again.
The results of our games were as
follows: We defeated The Dalles
Blackwolf team by 74-52; defeated
White Swan in three over times by
a score of 70 to 65; and we defeated
the Warm Springs Tribes team by a
score of 94 to 7 1 . All-stars from our
team were Rick Gallegos, Bob Main
and James Scott. Most Valuable
Player was James Scott.

Festivities enjoyed
To the Editor,
I enjoyed the Root Feast held at
the Longhouse in Warm Springs.
It was very spiritual. There was an
intrinsic meaning to this event which
brought people closer to their Crea
tor. I thank the people that put so
much effort into this festival, and
shared it with us all.
The Indian people are very spir
itual, though this is not to say oth
ers are not. There can be no doubt
whatever that the people of the
world, of whatever race or religion,
derive their inspiration from one
heavenly source and are the sub
jects of one god.
Yours truly,
