Christmas Again
"And lo the days are hastening on,
By prophet bards foretold.
And with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age of gold."
Again it is the Yuletide season and
slowly one by one the inhabitants
of the earth are drawn, some will
ingly, some unwillingly, into that
delicately patterned band of friend
ship which encircles the world each
year at this time. Petty griefs and
differences melt under the radiant
warmth of the Christmas Spirit. The
Scrooges of every city and village
drop their miserly robes and emerge
as kindly men. Just as the Wise Men
and the Shepherds were moved to
take gifts to the Christ Child in the
manger, so many years ago at
Christmas time, and it is this inner
glow which keeps Christmas from
becoming wholly commercialized in
this age of modern sophistication. It
is not man's place to say that it
would be better to have this feeling
reign in the world at all time, for
perhaps its glamour wuld wear
away and the world be left to selfish
pursuits for all time. Indeed it is
"Peace on earth, good will toward
men."
PINTO POINTS
If playing two games on consecu
tive nights, as Heppner did last Fri
day and Saturday, is any forewarn
ing of what is to come on future
dates of scheduled games, it looks
as if the local boys are in for a few
bad nights of ball hawking because
the basketball menu has two more
sets of games duplicating the same
situation. The Mustangs play Con
don and Arlington on the respective
dates of January 7 and 8, and on the
14th and 15th of the same month,
Fossil and Irrigon are slated as the
opponents of the locals in the order
named.
The Adams-Heppner game, which
Henry Tetz, ex-Heppner mentor.
termed his home-coming, displayed
the type of aggressive ball playing
that is shown in the Umatilla B
league, plus the scoring power of the
teams forming that conference. Ad
ams is rated as team number three
in the league, and by walloping
Heppner as they did, a general idea
may be gained as to the keenness of
competition that is so common in
our neighboring county. Mr. Tetz
says that as far as athletic expenses
are concerned in connection with the
Adams student body, the answer is
practically nil. The school district
purchases all suits, with entire new
outfits now in the making for his
team. In addition, the district fur
nishes basketballs, and the startling
fact is that no such item as money
paid out for transportation is ever
recorded in the books; the people of
the small but amply-wealth-supplied
metropolis are so anxious to see their
team play ball that they come to him
and ask if their car is needed for a
trip to some distant game. The con
trast between Adams and other
schools is indeed noticeable.
The game this coming Tuesday
with Grant Union high school of
John Day and Canyon City will give
fans an opportunity to see a team in
action that never before has played
on the Heppner court. Their games
played thus far this season indicate
they have not a team equal to that
school's '37 edition, which was a
semi finalist in the district tourna
ment last spring. The boys from the
interior are on a road trip that pits
them against some of the best quin
tets in this section of the country,
including Hermiston and Pendleton.
Tuesday's visitors will feel right at
home in the local gymnasium, which
happens to be the largest in the con
ference, as Grant Union has a ceiling
I I I
in their own gym high enough that
any school player shooting a how
itzer shot would not hit the roof sup
pirts. Andy Hurney, coach at this
school and one-time athletic great
from the University of Oregon, has
an ideal set-up, that is, connecting
Grant Union's basketball floor as one
belonging to a high school with Mc
Arthur court at the Eugene institu
tion. The playing court proper, by
this writer's measurement, is 85 by
45 feet, has built-in lights, a press
box for timers, score-keepers, sports
writers, and an electric scoreboard,
and microphone and speaker. There
are no foot-diameter timbers on the
sidelines to mar the view of specta
tors as is often found in smaller
gyms so dominant in eastern Ore
gon. The casaba boys representing
the country of old-day mining fame
are barnstorming to condition them
selves for conference play, and also
to acquaint themselves with teams
they may possibly meet in the '38
district session, their ultimate ob
jective.
Curfew chatter . . . Heppner had
its first basketball game on a Tues
day evening, which happens to be
"bank night," a term with which we
are all familiar . . . the attendance
at the season's opener had nothing
but superlatives of the smaller de
gree attached to it . . . one such
game, on one such night, and result
ing in one such a crowd was enough,
but lo and behold, the powers that
be came up with an added game to
the schedule to be played with Grant
Union on Tuesday, December 21,
The spoken-of hibernation of Hepp-
ner's basketball team is now a thing
of the past, as recently-scheduled
games make it an impossibility.
