Burns Bend, Mae HI at The Dalles Pushing aside New Year's bowls and celebrations, Central Oregon's Class A-l prep athlet ic teams will jump into action this weekend with the busiest of sports slates. It's the same story in all ath letic camps. The doldrums caused by Yule tide layoffs has descended. Mid - state coaches now are confronted with a re sulting getting back - in shape task. Counting basketball action in the 1964 Intermountain Confer ence wars officially commence Friday night. Wrestling starts regular action, too. 5 Games Friday Five basketball games are on the docket for Friday night. Bend and Redmond are home this weekend while Madras and Crook County high schools trek to the Blue Mountain country. C o m i n g to the Deschutes County hardboards are The Dal les Indians and the Hermiston Bulldogs. Friday night will see the rapidly - developing Hermis ton five facing Coach Chuck Hudson's only once - beaten Bruin aggregation, while Red mond hosts an improving Indian Dana trom me Danes. ' Redmond and Bend switch op ponents Saturday night. The Tribe must do battle with the lava Bears, and Hermiston will be In the Panthers' lair. There Is no telling what the weekend will bring. Four Veterans Hermiston Is good. The Bull dogs are well experienced after a bout or two with Walla Wal la and Eisenhower High School of Yakima, Wash. Hermiston boasts four boys with a single year of varsity experience. They come in the form of a 6-1 center by the name of Gay Ion Bush, 5-8 gunrds Jim Lynch and Jack Thomas, plus another guard, S-U Steve Trukosilz. Seven other have JV experi ence. The Dalles' Indians lack ex perience. Quoth Rod Geier of The Dalles Chronicle: "It could be a long season for DHS coach Don Martin." Experience Small He explains, "Only two of the 12 he (Martin) has designated 'varsity' have varsity experi ence and they were starters only part of the time last season." The Dalles, however, finished third in the IC loop in the spring of 1963. With this lack of combat ex perience, the Indians may have lo bank on their reservoir of depth. There is a dangerous tribesman or two, however, that the Central Orcgoninns will havo to watch. They are guards Ken Ja croux, this year's captain, and junior Kay Kane, a competitor who showed spurts of varsity ability last year when he was a sophomore. Tho Dalles started tilings off by taking it on the chin from Wy'cnst twice. Last night they dropped a tilt at McMinnville after soaring to unprecedented heights and belt ing the Grizzlies at home two weeks ago. Butts, Pokes on Road Madras and Prlnevillc have unenviable season openers. A trek to tho Blue Mountain coun try to commence league action Is not what the doctor would or der. Baker, In and out of the list of the state's top ten teams, affords a real obstacle. La Grande Is nlwavs touch. Coach Bob Allord's Buffs face the Baker Bulldogs on Fri day night, while tho Crook County Cowboys try to get back on the winning track at La Grande. Saturday night, they switch opponents. The Cowboys then must face tho Bulldogs, and Madras, the Tigers. Defending champion Pendle ton does a weekend solo against Mac Hi of Milton Freewater. On the mat card, the Central Oregon Champion Redmond Panthers will face Madras' Im proved Buff m a t m e n . The White Buffaloes of Coach Dan Lever then turn around Satur day afternoon and host the ft Sports Editor Burns Highlanders. Cats Strong Redmond looms as a heavy favorite to take the Buffs. The Saturday affair between Ma dras and Burns rates a tossup. Saturday will see the Bend Lava Bears, mid-state tourney runnerups, doing battle in a pair of dual meets at The Dal les. Bend faces The Dalles' In dians and the Mac Hi Pio neers. Prineville's Cowboys, knocked from the Central Oregon top rung by Redmond, are Idle. First 1964 mat action for the Cowboys comes Friday, Janu ary 10, when they host The Dal les. Coach Bill Yingling's bone benders, though dethroned, still loom as possible district cham pions. They rate heavy favor ites to take the Indians. MORE ABOUT SHRINE PLAYERS Last Friday night saw Bend's Shrine club pay tribute to Bend High School's 12 contributions to the annual Shrine battle in Portland. Memories were shared,' ex ploits (past and present) were lauded, yet nouung was men tioned of exactly what each one did in the particular Shrine game they played. Thanks to note-taking by Mr. Photographer, Nate Bull, and considerable research by our junior morgue digger Mike Stahlbeig, here Is some poop, at least, on what some of them did. In 1948, the first game, Wes Hogland, a guard, and Bill Shenold, a back, played every quarter. Hogland started the contest, state beat Y ortland, 35 13. Dick Sutherland of The Dal les was coach. Set Up Two Sheffold set up two touch downs on a pass interception and a four-yard gallop that wound up Vi yard short of pay dirt. Future Oregon State and Washington Redskin ace Sam Baker carried it over from there. In 1949, Doug (brother of Wes) Hogland, a tackle, and Phil Gillis, fullback, started the game. State, however, lost 19-0. In 1952, tuture Willamette star Dean Benson started at left end and was a veritable bearcat all evening. State won 12-6. Boardman Runs Wild In 1953, Bend sent Bill Baer, Jr., Chuck Austin and Miles Boardman all in one package. Boardman was one of the leading ground gainers, rip ping off 91 yards in 13 carries. He scored a touchdown and was named State's outstanding back. State won 12-6. In 1956, Ron Anderson saw plenty of action at end and de fensive tackle. Bill Pcderson played center and linebacker when State lost to Metro in 1961. Jim Dexter, Bend's heralded 1961 halfback, did most of the punting for State in the 1962 fracas. Mate lost again, how ever. Last August (1963) Bend's Jim Leagjeld, though not a starter, boomed nine yards for State's final TD. State won this time 27-0, for its first victory since 1956. Denver has lead in WHL season By United Press International The Western Hockey League is half-way through its season, and so far Denver, Guyle Field er, and Al Millar dominate the proceedings. Denver has a 24-9-2 record, which gives the Invaders a sol id 15-noint lead going into 1964 and the second half of play. Millar, the Denver net-minder. allowed only two goals in three contests last week to cut his over-all average to a remark able 2.26 coals per game. Seat- lie's Claude Dufour is a distant second with a 3.09 mark. To understand how this Is re flected In team statistics, Den ver has permitted only 81 goals this season. Then comes Seat tie's 106 and every other team in Ihe league has surrendered at least 122 tallies. Larry Zicdel of Seattle sat out last week's Ramos because of a suspension, but his 113 min utes in penalties still lead the loop. All teams were Inactive Mon day night and also get New Year's Eve off. My ROAD TRIP HOPE Ken Boster, a 6-1 junior forward, will carry some of the hopes for the Crook County Cowboys this weekend when the locals face two toughies on the road. Fri day night will see them in action at La Grande, and Saturday, Baker. Madras faces the same pair on opposite nights. UO today had dopester's nod EL PASO, Tex. (UPI) - The Oregon Webfoots, averaging bet ter than three touchdowns a game for the past five years, were a 3-point favorite today when they met Southern Metho dist in the 29th annual Sun Bowl football game. The regionally televised game got a day's jump on the rest of the New Year s day classics In this sun splashed West Texas town. Oregon Coach Len Casanova and SMU mentor Hayden Fry put their squads through short and sweet last minute workouts Monday and then told them to take It easy until the game. The tilt shaped up as a clash between the Oregon junior quar terback Bob Berry's passing and the evenly-balanced offense and kicking game of the Mus tangs. Berry ranked fifth nationally in total offense and ninth in passing. He will probably be one of the best signal callers the Mustangs have faced in Billy Joe named top 13 rookie COATESVILLE, Pa. (UPD- The big fellow, nibbing his eyes from a mid-day nap, blinked unbelievingly and then blurted: "Wow! Thanks a million!" That's how Billy Joe of the Denver Broncos, former Villa- nova fullback, received the news he was the United Press International rookie of the year in the American Football League. Joe smiled happily when he heard that 16 of 24 AFL writers named him as the league's top rookie. He was head and shoulders and his 245 pounds over Dick Westmoreland, San Diego de fensive back who was named on three ballots; linebacker Bobby Bell of Kansas City and defensive tackle Dave Costa of Oakland with two votes each, and offensive end Dave Graham of Boston who received one vote. It was obviously a new ex perience for Billy although ho was voted the outstanding back of the 1962 Liberty Bowl and he began to tick off the thank you's "My conch who gave me the opportunity to move in and was patient with me, his patience, all of the players, everybody who tried to help me." And when he finished, his great enthusiasm for football, and particularly professional football, began to take over. "1 really love It (professional ball)," Billy bubbled. "It's so very different from college ball." CREST CONSTRUCTION Central Construction Ph. 382-0685 Ma inh Tm Lam or Too Small 1963. This includes such select com pany as Roger Staubach of Navy, Don Trull of Baylor and Terry Isaacson of Air Force. The Mustangs put the damper on two of these, dumping Cotton Bowl bound Navy 32-28 and Gator Bowl loser Air Force, 10-0. The bowl game is the oldest in Texas and the third oldest in the country.
