Tournament a Success
Due to the splendid cooperation of
the townspeople and students, the
basketball tournament held last
week end was a great success. All
expenses were paid and the pleas
ant prospect of a small profit seems
probable. More money was taken in
on this tournament with less than
two days planning than at the one
last year which was scheduled three
weeks in advance.
The dance following the tourna
ment was well attended with Andy's
Rhythmeers putting out some fine
music,

PINTO-POINTS
The 13-B sub-district tournament
is over, but they're still talking about
it, so we shall carry on along the
same lines.
It took two center jumps to of
ficially open the tournament, and
the spectators who paid cold cash
to see it start, although unaware of
the fact, did not get to see the first
jump ball, that at the center circle
. . . sounds queer, but true ... as a
novel way of opening the tourna
ment, one that was used here last
year, the officials decided to draw
the curtain on the stage in front of
the playing court just before the
opening whistle blew . . . not noting
that the curtain was closed, proba
bly due to the anxiousness of the
referee, time-keepers, and score
keepers to get the game under way,
the ball was thrown up for the tip
off .. . an alert time-keeper no
ticed something was wrong and
checked further progress of the
game with a loud toot of his whis
tle .. . shortly thereafter the cur
tain opened, and the game started
all over again. The reason for Jack
Lloyd's sponsoring most of the whistle-tooting
in the game Friday was
that Tuck Hodgen, other official,
thinking he would have to go to
Fossil, was vaccinated for small-pox,
and not knowing just how it would
affect him the next day, took it easy
and let Lloyd handle most of the
officiating duties. Perhaps Board
man would have reached the finals
had they stayed at their home town
till Saturday, as they had no games
until that day, instead of coming to
Heppner on Friday. By staying at
home, they could have slept in their
own beds, for one can sleep better
on his own mattress than he can in
some sheep camp, as a couple of the
Boardman boys did Friday night . . .
also, sitting around on hard seats in
a gymnasium with the nervous
feeling that you are going to be up
on the court playing tomorrow does
not add to the winning chances of a
team. Another similar case ... a
Heppner player, one of the four
freshmen on the tournament squad,
made the mistake of hanging around
the gymnasium and the basketball
floor for a part of the morning be
fore he and his team were sched
uled to play ... it was entirely un
necessary and the farther away he
stayed from the gym, the better off
he would have been. Ladd Sherman,
Lexington coach, was not notifed of
the fact that the losers of Friday
afternoon's games were to play that
night, until the afternoon game, and
when he learned the news, he im
mediately turned against the idea
because his boys wouldn't gain any
thing if they did play . . . the team
wanted to play; Sherman didn't
want to play; but they all displayed
real tournament spirit and decided
to play the fill-in game and thus
help the tournament proceeds.
Another Jackrabbit item . . . after
playing Umatilla, and about two and
one-half hours prior to the time
they were to meet Irrigon, a few of
the Lexington boys wandered thru
the portals of a down-town restaur
ant and several minutes later emerg
ed with T-bone steaks tucked under
their belts . . there's nothing like
a nice juicy steak before a game.
Give credit where credit is due, and
Robert Knox, Heppner coach, de
serves plenty of it. When notified
that the tournament would be held
here, Knox went to work, called
meetings, appointed numerous com
mittees that functioned and cooper
ated wonderfully, and by 2:30 p. m.
Friday, 30 hours after starting to
work, the tournament was under
way and just about every student
had a job to perform. Tuck Hod
gen, one of a famous athletic family
and erstwhile a basketball referee,
sees great possibilities in Willard
Jones, the towering protege of Lyle
Eddy at Irrigon . . . "He looks and
plays more like Laddie Gale than
any kid I've seen this year," said
Hodgen. Commenting further, Tuck
said he's far from being a polished
player, but with two years yet to go
in high school competition, he should
really go places. Tuck followed
Jones in on a lay-in shot, Jones
dribbling down the side-line and
then cutting for the basket, and com
mented afterwards that Jones had
speed and was traveling faster than
he looked.
Tournament tales . . . High point
team, Condon with 107 points in
three games; tourney ruffians, Drake
of Heppner and Simmons of Condon
each with nine personals; roughest
game, Heppner-Irrigon with 29
fouls called; surprise team, Heppner;
most unorthodox, yet fine player,
Young of Condon; cleverest ball
handler, Wilson, Boardman; team
that played in the best games from
the spectators' standpoint, Hepp
ner; best blocker .of shots when
following his opponent in on a quick
break for the basket, Drake of Hepp
ner; best corner shots, Wilson of
Boardman and Hiatt of Umaitlla.
Some tournament contrasts . . .
lightest player, Clyde Pettyjohn
and his twin brother Claude, who
tip the scales at 98 pounds; heaviest
player, E. Willis, Condon, whose
weight hits around 215; shortest
player, Hugh Crawford, 5 feet 2
inches, Heppner; vice versa, Jones,
Irrigon, who towers at 6 feet, 2
inches.

A Yankee was on a walking tour

he was struggling along a narrow

"I guess, friend, I'm lost!" he said,
plaintively.

American: "Nope."
Scot: "Well, ye're still lost."

Defendent: "Well, I think I can
lick that little guy on the end."
