With only three minutes left to play In the third quarter of the second game, the Heppner five had an 18 polnt lead over the BuffH, 47-29. before falter ing as the determined visitors started to pour on the coal. While the Madras rally was In pro Kress, the tiring Mustangs made only three points In the last 11 minutes of the game and none in the fourth period. In the same 11 minutes Madras made 30 points. Black-headed Mike Clements, a six foot sophomore, capped the death knell lor Heppner wnen he hit a layln and drilled two long pushers midway in the fourth period. The first long shot tied the score at 50-50 and the second was the co-ahead bucket. From then on, the Mustangs were left at the post. Sophomores Lee Padberg and Dour Dubuque figured strongly in tho good start for the Mus tangs when they picked up seven of the team's 13 points in the first quarter of the hatur tiny night game. Dick Springer and Sonny Biuaie aiso ngurea n the scoring in that penoa With a 13-10 lead going into the second quarter, the Mus tangs started finding the range. Shan Applegate banked six points in a row, four on free throws without a miss and two more points on a fast break layln. Bruce Moyer sank two free throws and the count mov ed to 21-10 for Heppner. Biddle swished a pair from deep corner in the next two minutes and Heppner was in front, 25-11. At this point, though, the White Buffs took command for the rest of the quarter, prof iting by ragged Heppner pass ing. With deadly young Clem ents zeroing In, aided by an other sleek guard, Kanin Smith, the Buffs pulled within five points by halftime, 30-25. Tadberg, Springer, Biddle, Moyer and Applegate all con tributed a sparkling five min utes for Heppner at the start of the third quarter to roll the tally to 47-2!) before the tide turned. The fast break clicked and the points piled up steadily for Heppner until they ran out of gas midway in the quarter. They seemed to tiro then perceptibly and their game went to pieces with a rash of bad passing and over anxiety. But it didn't take long In watching the Mustangs on the opening night, Friday, to de termine that Heppner has the maklnrs of a fine ball club this vr Undaunted bv the repu tation of the Buffs, they went to work in that game aim iou iit.n f trwt ouarter lead, at one ..,..

The sizeable wildly-cheering turnout of local fans who saw the games were disappointed that tho Mustanes didn't win after piling up the early leads, but they had no reason to be discouraged. The Heppner squad turned In fine performances ex cept for ragged passing on oc casion, a common malady with the last DreaK. Coach Bob Cantonwlne had said early this year that he felt sophomores might hold the key to the outcome of the season. If this Is true, the prospect does not appear bad because Pad berg played real good ball games and captured top scor ing honors, and Doug Dubuque came through with some steady work and will be a real cog in the club with a little more ex perience.
