But the rest of the team will return next year. It will be interesting to see how things will work out. Against La Grande In the opening game of the state championship tournament, the Madras girls beat the La Grande Tigers, coming out vic torious by a score of 54-36. Prior to the first game Coach Mike Osborne said the girls were a little tense, but said they should come around during game time. The first quarter things were a little close, as at the end of the first quarter the score was the Buffs 9 and the Tigers 7. In the second quarter the Buffs setded down and went to work on the La Grande team, as they put a 25-6 scoring spree on the Tigers. That pretty well got the girls up, and by the time halftime came around the scoreboard read Buffs 34, Tigers 13.

Against Pleasant Hill Madras next beat Pleasant Hill 32-29. What a game. The Buffs were unable to score through the first, and trailed 9 0. Nothing would fall for the Buffs, even from right under the basket. The Billies were there to prove they meant business. In the second quarter things started to look up a little when the Buffs found the range. Jaylyn Suppah put up a basket, which seemed to perk up the Buffs and they settled down but still trailed 16-8 at halftime. The third quarter brought the Buffs back into the ball game as they out-scored the Billies 14 5, which brought the score up to where the Buffs gained the lead 22-21 going into the final stage. This was a real battle and the Buff girls showed they were determined to win the game when they out-scored the Billies 10-8 to end with a close 32-29 Twenty-five years ago From the March 24, 1978 edition of the Spilyay High Court rules against tribal jurisdiction In a decision that could have nationwide impact, the U.S. Su preme Court ruled six to two on Monday, March 6, that Indian tribal courts lack the power to prosecute non-Indians for crimes committed on reserva tions. Reaction to the quick deci sion was that "it is bad news for tribal courts." The high court ruling over turned an appeals court decision that the Suquamish Indians could arrest and try non-Indians who live on its Kitsap Peninsula reservation at Port Madison. The case in particular was one in which the Suquamish Tribe arrested and moved to prosecute two non-Indian resi dents, Mark D. Oliphant and Daniel B. Belgarde. The charge against Oliphant was that he had assaulted a tribal officer and resisted arrest dur ing the Suquamish annual cel ebration of Chief Seattle Days. Belgarde was arrested following an alleged high-speed chase along reservation highways, which ended in a collision with a tribal police car. A continuing investigation. Nicknames becoming more and more mysterious Again we return with more nicknames. We are finding, how ever, that the longer we run this continuing saga, the less certain individuals are willing to talk about their nicknames. We mysteriously received a neatly typed list of nicknames the other day. We had some of the names, but most were new to us. . . . . . We also received a call from Dale Cochran asking for the origin of Fabian Sutterlee's nick name of Skinopps. He thought that maybe Ernie Henderson might know. However, after try ing to get in touch with Ernie for several days, we gave up. Anyone else out there who knows, please let us know. We'll promise to keep you anony mous, to save you embarrass ment. Or better yet, maybe Fabian knows Ernie's nickname and its origin. Harold Culpus came in one day, flashing that big smile of his and looking in a good mood, so we asked him he came about being named Owl. Nothing mys win. Against Tillamook In the third game the Buffs jumped out to a 20-16 first quar ter lead over Tillamook, and held on to a slim 29-24 halftime score. The game proved not to be a pushover as both teams battled almost on even basis, r Calendar The Warm Springs Small Business Development Center is sponsoring Oregon Native American Business Entrepreneurial Network (ONABEN) classes.

He said it was his Indian name given to him when he was a child. We did ask Owl how Delbert Frank, or Rabbit, got his nickname. He looked embar rassed but declined to tell us just where it came from. Ramona Tanewasha is an other who would not yield to our pestering. Teddy, as she is best known, thought that we should have more interesting names to write about. Leslie Robinson was in the office one day to pick up some rodeo information. We asked him where he got his nickname. "No one around here knows!" Chunky laughed. His laugh led us to believe that we would probably never find out. We asked Gene Greene how he got his name Cougar. All he had to say was, "My name is Gene, not Cougar." We've got . ten a couple stories behind his nickname. However, we would really like to know the real story. Jacob Frank Sr. was another who was unsure of the begin ning of his name Gizmo. But we did find out that his Indian name is "Blackwidow." "Beeny" Byron Patt received his nickname in boarding school. He said he belonged to a group of guys and they all called him Beeny. Rita Foltz, or Patches as she is best known, was very reluc tant to tell us the origin of her nickname. Like with most nicknames, one must stop and think of the person's real name, as they are most usually referred to by their nickname. Delano Satch Miller got his name as a child. He was dark and chunky and certain pepple thought that he resembled Satchmo Armstrong. As you can tell, we're running into a problem of people play ing hard-to-get. Please help us uncover the truth and end all the mystery. (A previous article found out the meaning and origin of other nicknames in Warm Springs such as: Clark Livingston a.k.a. Nine-ball, Richard Craig a.k.a. Frogman, Benson Heath a.k.a. Shamon, Naomi Winishut a.k.a. Wimpy, Doug McClelland a.k.a. Big Mac, George Clements a.k.a. Squeaky, Serena Boyd a.k.a.

The Cheesemakers outscored the Buffs in the third quarter 7-6, but the Buffs came back to outscore Tillamook 10-9 in the final quarter, to hold onto the lead and post a 46-40 win.
