Superior in construc tion . . . available HERB 0NLY1 Buffeted from the physical batterings of an extended foot ball season with no time to get organized and drill, lone high school faces the opening of bas ketball season this week-end. While other teams were prac ticing the hoop siwrt since early November, the Cardinals have been pursuing the state title trail In 8-man football. Not only did this take their time, but the last game took out some of the best basketball prospects. Friday night Coach Glenn Bichl must have his squad ready lor the Umatilla-Morrow Jam boree at Umatilla, and on the next night they entertain Mau pin In a double-header Jayvee and varsity. At the Jamboree, the Cardinals will play the Heppner High freshmen because both the Mus tang varsity and Jayvees will have their hands full on the same night with the White Buf-1 faloes of Madras in games at Heppner. Others In the Jamboree will be Riverside, Stanfield, Echo and host Umatilla. lone and the Mus tang frosh play in the opener at 7 p. m., going at it for two 10- minute quarters. Against Maupin on Saturday night, the Jayvee teams will open at 6:45 to be followed by the varsity at 8 p. m. Coach Biehl, after the rugged football week-end at Sisters, call ed his basketball boys together Monday without any rest to start drills. Ken Nelson is out because of the sprained ankle at Sisters, Rollie Ekstrom and Ron Crabtree both were unable to re port because of illness, and these comprise his three lettermen. Wayne Hams has a badly swol len hand as a souvenir of the Outlaw game, and he will be severely handicapped in basket ball. But the coach is not down hearted about it. He has a large turnout of 25 candidates, and there is a lot of enthusiasm and spirit. He knows his injured lads will mend, and although the team may have a slow start, it will be reckoned with before the season is over. Travel weary and plagued by Injuries during the game, tone's football team fell just short of capturing the state 8-man B hamploiishlp Saturday when it lost in the final game to Sisters on a numbing cold day at Ms ters. 19 to O. Despite the fact that lone had to make three long road trips on consecutive week-ends to John Day, Baker and finally Sisters, and despite the fact that the Cardinals lost Guard Les Mad- n, Backs Ken Nelson and Lee Hams by Injuries during the ame, and the fact that Quarter ack Wayne Hams was severely indicapood w"h a hand in ury. toaeh Glenn Biehl said ai tcr the game that his team had no excuses to offer. "They were just plenty tough. They were a good crew," he said. rhey were big, and they could move. Nelson suffered a sprained ankle early in the game, and Madden sustained a badly bruls ed leg In the second quarter, see ing only partial service In the game after that. Someone step ped on Star Quarterback Ham's hand in the game, and he played the rest of the game with it bad ly swollen. His brother, Lee, suf fered pulled ligaments in his neck in the last minute of the came, and he was torcea to stay overnight in a Bend hospital. His parents also remained and broueht him home the next day. The plucky Cardinals held the Sisters powerhouse on even terms in the first quarter and drove to the Sisters 3o and SO on different occasions before giving up the half before the Cardinals could move the ball from there. The big Sisters team took right off in the third quarter on a sustained march, going from their own 37 to a touchdown on 12 plays with Demaris going over from the 2. The key play in the drive was a 20-yard pass, Shaw to Rich Tewalt. Never giving up, the Cardinals fought back and moved to the Sisters' 12 late In the third quart er before yielding on downs. Al so In the fourth, they penetra ted Into Outlaw country but couldn't keep it going at the crit ical point. Following the ball game, which was witnessed by some 500 thoroughly chilled spectators, the teams went into the gym where presentations were made. Each of the lone boys received a miniature silver football, and the Cards also brought home the second place trophy. Coach Gene McDonald's Sisters team got the championship trophy and gold footballs. This was the second time that lone had met its Waterloo at the hands of Sisters. The Outlaws defeated them in their last game, that in 1959, also on the state title trail. That was the last de feat of the Cardinals by any team until this second meeting. However, it may not occur again lor a long time because Coach McDonald loses nine sen iors from his dream team. All eight starters are seniors. To show what the Cardinals were against, the Outlaw line from end to end weighed 196, 219, 231, 157 and 188.
