PINTO-POINTS
With the sub-district tournament
drawing near, comes the time for
prognosticators to go into action, for
small side-bets, for heated debates
over possible winners, and all the
other activities that are connected
with a sectional basketball get-together.
Heppner opens tournament play
for sub-district 13-B, which was to
have been held at Fossil but was
transferred today to Heppner be
cause of an outbreak of small-pox
in the Wheeler metropolis, against
Irrigon tomorrow afternoon at 2:30.
The teams that play in the early p.
m., provided they win, are given
board and room for that night at the
expense of the tournament. Should
they lose, they are given their eve
ning meals and from that time on,
are on their own, free to go home
to stay here and spend money, impa
tiently watching tne team win the
honor that they hoped would be
theirs. In conection with this first
game-win rule, the story has been
going around that the Mustangs will
permit the Irrigon squad to stay
over-night at tournament expense,
inferring of course that the locals
are hardly expected to win from Ir
rigon. And after the way the Lex
ington game turned out, although the
Heppner quintet did beat the Jack
rabbits (and who hasn't), this writer
is rather inclined to agree with the
originators of the aforementioned
"encouraging" story,
This supposedly omits Heppner
from the championship lists; how
ever, the local quintet has one hope;
that is in the law of averages. Hepp
ner hasn't been consistent in its win
nings, but it has proved one thing,
that they are a first half team. To be
frank, the locals have really played
ball for an entire game but once this
year, and that was against Grant
Union of John Day. They were gun
ning for the Prospectors and victory
was theirs. It seems that when they
really get fired up for an opponent
and possess a burning desire to beat
some top notch club, they can do it.
It isn't very often that they keep up
a fast pace for a whole game. Against
the better teams played, the Mus
tangs have, with the exception of
the Hermiston swamping, always
put up a good first half battle, but
in the second half, they go to pieces.
One fan advanced the theory that
Heppner was due for a win and since
they have only one more chance to
do that, an upset in the tournament
with Heppner the winning factor
would not be exactly startling.
Off the backboard . . . Being a
victim of malocclusion and requir
ing specialized treatment for the
malady, the curing of which seems
to be most resourceful in Oregon's
largest city, this writer was unfor
tunate enough to have to leave at
the end of the third quarter and
thereby miss the fourth quarter
struggle between Heppner and Lex
ington last Friday . . . but the three
fourths of the game this corner wit
Heppner
nessed was oozing with plain, old
fashioned exciting ball . . . during a
second quarter time-out, Ladd Sher
man, Lexington coach, who happened
to be an elbow-partner during the
battle, commented that it was going
to be a game before it was through
. . . and how true those words were
. . . with Lex leading and both teams
fighting like demons, in a moment
of brief relaxation, said Sherman, to
be quoted, "This game is too "much;
I don't think I'll hold out." The Lex
ington mentor probably wasn't the
only one thinking the same, as up
to that time, his proteges were out
playing and out-scoring the Hepp
ner boys. Bernard McMurdo, Hepp
ner '36, is in line for the Oregon
State intramural wrestling cham
pionship in the 155-pound division
. . McMurdo lost his semi-final
match and along with it, broke some
of the cartliliges in his chest, but
when he is able to go again, he will
meet Glaisyer, a Phi Delt, and should
he win over him, he will then take
on Bessler, an independent, for the
all-school championship.
