Final Game
Brings Victory
By Lorry Mollahan
.The Mustangs put the wraps on
the schedule Friday night with a
lopsided, oneway contest with
the Wasco Braves on the Mustang
court 61 to 24.
Lance Tibbies, Heppner sub,
put in eleven points for the un
stoppable Mustang quint. Carroll
starred for Wasco sinking eleven
for the Braves.
A poorgame from the specta
tor standpoint, the Heppner ball
hawks swept Into a 20 to 0 lead
in the first period of play. Coach
Larry Dowen put in the seniors to
play their last game together on
the home floor. Dick Kononen and
Neil Beamer pumped In eight
points each to lead the last year
boys.
Next year's squad entered the
melee and pushed through 18
more points to Wasco's 2. Skip
Ruhl led the juniors with three
layins.
Trying to keep the score from
going too high Dowen gave the
word for a sort of passing stall
to slow things down. Lowell Tur
ner couldn't resist the tempta
tion and put in one set shot to
comprise ileppner's third period
scoring. The Braves went
through a relaxed Mustang de
fense to can fourteen counters.
Tibbies rebounded, hooked and
set shot in eleven points in the
final period to finish the game.
Heppner scoring; Kononen 8,
Olson 2, Grabill 2, Connor 6,

Shamrocks Enter
A. A. U. Playoffs
Sixteen top teams for the state
of Oregon and southwest Wash
ington district tangle in the an
nual A. A. U. basketball tourna
ment at Hermiston on March 5-8.
It will be the second straight year
that Hermiston plays host to the
state event.
Nirschl Bros, of Pendleton was
originally scheduled to represent
the Morrow-Umatilla county dis
trict, but word received here Wed.
nesday Indicated that the Hepp
ner Shamrocks will also play in
the tournament A last minute
withdrawal by an Astoria team
left an opening, and the Sham
rocks, winners of their cwn lea
gue play, were asked to fill the
vacancy. They will play their
first game against Hermiston on
Saturday at 7 p. m.
Early trends reveal that favo
rites hail from Portland, Eugene
and Medford areas. Eugene's
Everybody's Drugs took the title
last year from the Jewish Com
munity Center team of Portland.
Hermiston and Condon, a pair of
darkhorses again this year, bat
tled it out for consolation honors
in 1954 with the former coming
out on top. The inclusion of the
Shamrocks in the schedule may
alter some of the pre tourney
choices, it was said.
The Shamrocks completed their
spnsnn with onlv one loss, and
that being to Hermiston. They
also took one game from the same
team.

For the third year in a row
Heppner is traveling to the Dis
trict tournament with high
hones of again taking the 6-B
Crown. As it has been in the
past two years when they have
won first place, Heppner will be
playing the toughest team in
the tourney. St. Mary's of The
Dalles has the best team in its
history. Included in the St.
Mary's lineup is highest single
game scorer in Oregon this year,
John McCormick. This six foot
Irishman totaled 54 points against
Dufur this season. The tourna
ment is a single elimination con
test. If the first game is lost the
team had better start to pack
their bags.
Despite the distance, quite
few fans, students and parents
are making the trip to Madras.
A diagram of the play schedule

STORM DAMAGE
(Continued from Page 1)
manent repairs.
Soil Loss Heavy
Probably the greatest loss was
in the thousands of tons of top
soil which blew away in clouds
so thick that several motorists
reported that at times it was im
possible to even see the yellow
highway line. Some of the worst
blow occurred where land level
ing operations had just been
completed or were still being
carried on. In many cases the
light, dry soil drifted in piles
along roads that resembled snow
drifts except for their color.
Farmers received a consolation
prize however, for as the wind
died down late in the afternoon
a heavy fall of wet snow followed
in the wake of the gale. It drop
ped betweon.15 and one-quarter
of an inch of moisture over most
of the county and added nearly a
foot of badly needed snow in the
higher mountains.
The same storm struck Port
land and other northern Willa
mette valley and Washington
points earlier in the morning
causing heavy damage to power
lines, trees and houses. In Port
land the official wind velocity
measurement was 76 miles per
hour. In Morrow county the gale
equalled or bettered the Port
land "breeze" though no official
equipment was available to mea.
lire it.
