Tasha Wilson, who has been the
backbone of the team all year,
and Jane Retherford, who was
consistent at making points all
season long. But the rest of the
team will return next year. It will

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.

came back against Pleasant Hill
The La Grande Tigers came
back a little in the third quarter
as they outscored the Buffs 14
11, but the Buffs had built up
such a lead in the second quar
ter they never trailed the rest of
the game.
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,

terious or humorous about it.
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.

but the Buffs managed to stay
just ahead of the Cheesemakers
on a slim margin. The
Cheesemakers outscored the
Buffs in the third quarter 7-6,

final quarter, to hold onto the
lead and post a 46-40 win.
