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

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

no excuses to offer.

They were a good crew," he said.

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

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. The two ends stood
