The club has Its skiing area in good shape for an expected tine season ahead. Ken Peck said Monday night that there was 30 inches ot powder snow in the new area at that time. Kerry Peterson. 11 -year-old son of Don and Martha Peterson, lone, was first to ski on the new run.

You do not need Unquestionably the little band of local skiers who have been chopping and sawing their way through pole thickets, clearing a new tiki area, are most dedi cated ueonle. Lack of snow at the Park during the last two winters has held back particl patlon in the sport. Last March the ski club voted to secure a Forest Service use permit and move to a higher elevation and more dependable snow conclit ions. Since then, liaidy Butte club members have cleared two acres, burned the brush, graded the slope, and at this time have the area almost ready to ski. Garry Tullis Arnold Melby, Art Vance and others rushed a pre fab 16x24 warming hut to com pletion. Don and Gerald Peter son furnished' a tractor and dozer without which we would have been severely handicapped. Other club members donated material for the building and helped burn the brush piles which were raked up bv the trac tor. Steve Peck and Tim Tullis bossed this job of burning and now a well-groomed slope awaits the earlv skier. The Nelson brothers, Norm and Fred, put in several days with their chain saws early this fall before the burning could be safely done. With this kind of cooperation and help, I say they are dedi cated people at least to skiing. The ski tow equipment now being readied is scheduled for installation about December 16. We are waiting for a ski rope to be delivered'. Operated by the Baldy Butte Ski club, the area will be open to the use of the to belong to the ski club to use the area, but we invite anyone who seriously wishes to ski to Join. A fee will, of course, have to be charged those who ride the tow. In order to finance the devel opment most of the club mem bers prepaid three years mem- i i ; r I . a oersnip lees in auvunce, aim lor this use of their money they will have no tow fees to pay. It is 'our hope that this ski area development will fill the need1 for winter sports recreation and we would particularly like to see the youth of the commun ity use the facilities. You parents who may be won dcring what to give for Christ mas why not skis.' Ask lor them at local stores or talk to people who ski for they can help you In purchasing the right equipment. It you are serlou about the sport, buy good qual ity boots, skis and release bind rigs. Dont buy skis which are too long and stiff. Children learn easier on short ones, as do less active adults. Anyone can learn to ski If he can walk and enjoy being out in the snow. I recently read about a blind girl who learned to ski by following the sounds of her instructor's skis in the snow ahead of her. She progress ed so well that she became an expert skier, even to downhill racing, strange as It may seem At the Snow Bowl near Mt. Mood watched a casualty of WW2 who had only one leg ski with he aid of two outrigger skis instead of poles, lie very easily Hint by Sherman County's kethall tt-arn frin the 're the difference me here be. tviccii lleppiw-r nigh ami trie to from Muro, and alno proved a litj factor In the Friday nlghl c.me at Muro.

Ileppner made only eight point on free throws on 16 per honals against the Sherman county boy. Although they trailed at lime In the game a much as 19 points, the Mustangs finished with 17 field goals to their ctvdit against lb for Moro. On Friday night, Sherman had the edge in field goals. 23 to 21, as they won. 00 to 47. They had 11 of their point. from the free throw line on 16 ileppner fouls, while the Mustangs count ed only five charity tosses out of the mere seven perjonals whistled against their opponents. Despite the large number of personals Saturday night, the Mustangs could have won the battle If they had been able to come up with a reasonable shoot ing fH-rcentage from the floor. It was clearly an off night as they made trieir 17 from the soaring 78 shots from the floor, a percentage of only .220. Sher man picked off its 16 field goals on 51 tries, a average.

Sherman county led all the way In both game. They had a battle on Ihelr hand Friday night, maintaining only a slim lead until late In the ume. At the end of the first quarter they led 16 13 and had a aimilar 3 point margin by halftlme. 30 27.

Lee Padbcrjr hit seven of 14 field goal attempt and added one free throw for 15 point to tie for high point honors with Gene Eakin of Moro. Sonny Bid die had a good night for Ilepp ner with 12 points, all on field goals. Shan Applegate picked up 10 counters on four buckets and two free throws. Oddly enough, Veteran perfor mer Bruce Moyer was shut out. falling to hit from the floor and having no chances on the gift stripe. He had been suffering from flu through the week. But Saturday night Moyer came back to set the pace for the losing Mustangs. His two free throws and Jump shot at the start of the game gave Hepp ner a quick 4 -point lead that the home boys were unable to hold.

Ken Maynard. and Tom Coats were piling up point for the winners and by half time had fchoved them In front. 31 to 16, Though outdistanced, the Mustang didn't give up. Kit George fired a 30 foot shot from a set position Just before half time that drilled the net. and this gave a little surge to morale.

Tadborg Jumped a shot and Moyer followed with a lay In, bringing the count to 50-41. But that was it for the Mus tangs. They could only make one more point while Bish, Maynard and Kakin each added two points for the winners. Sherman played near Ironman ball in the second game. They only made two substitutions, both coming late In the game, one after Coat had fouled out. Ileppner lost both Moyer and Dubuque on Infractions, and Gardner and Springer both were on thin Ice with four each. Maynard, a main cog In the Sherman attack, picked up his fourth foul In the third quarter but breezed right through the rest of the game without getting the fifth whistle. Considering the fact that Sherman had bumped the league favorite, Burns, twice, outcome of the pair of games could not be considered too discouraging even though the Mustangs were off on shooting. 0 0 6 7 4 1 1 2 0 0 0 2 0 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 3 1 2 4 1 1 2 2 0 0 0 2 12 15 10 2 2 4 0 0 21 5 16 47 SHERMAN COUNTY CO Fg 1 4 6 4 4 4 0 Ft Pf 1 4 3 2 2 2 0 Tp 3 12 15 10 10 10 0 rminta In the they trailed at the time, 16 9, 23 14 7 60 night score: HEPPNER 42 Fg Ft Pf To Moyer 6 2 5 II Biddle 3 12 7 Applegate 0 13 1 Dubuque 0 0 5 0 Pad berg 5 2 4 12 Gardner 114 3 Springer 0 0 3 0 Cox 0 0 0 0 George 2 10 5 17 8 26 42 SHERMAN COUNTY 56 Fg Ft Pf Tp Bish 3 15 7 Maynard 4 7 4 15 Eakin 2 9 2 13 Coats 2 6 5 10 Doolin 5 1 0 11 Sather 0 0 0 0 Jeffries 0 0 0 0 16 24 16 56 Crabtree Stars In Cardinals' Win Over St. Jo Big Ron Crabtree. star end on lone 8 man football team, con tinued hi starring role In basket hall Saturday night when he led Ihe Cardinal to a 49 41 victory over St. Joseph of Pendleton on the lone maple court.
