Locals Take Game
From Irrigon Team
Possessing an enviable record of
ten straight wins and one defeat, the
latter number was increased last
Saturday as Hpner edged out a
24 to 23 victory over the championship-labelled
Irrigon squad.
This game gave Heppner its second
win in two nights, a decided change
of basketball menu for local fans.
Irrigon put up a better battle against
the Mustangs than did Fossil the
night before, but they were still un
able to match the speedy play of
Heppner's surprising squad.
Van Marter didn't have quite the
eye for hitting the basket that he
did the night before; none of Coach
Knox's hoopsters did, for that mat
ter, but the Mustang center still
managed to fatten his game average
with 14 points.
Heppner's victory came close not
to being such, as their 24 to 21 lead
with two minutes to go diminished
rapidly when Houghton, Irrigon for
ward, sank a basket to just miss sur
passing his host's score.

tion with the 1938 program, awaiting
