They took an early lead Friday, going at 20-1.1 at the end of the first quarter, onlv to sec It melt to 05-31 at haiftime. The Burns boys, n pretty nifty outfit themselves, pecked away at the lend. Caie Merseth, who about sunk Heppner with a rash of boskets In the third period, brought the lend to Burns at 51 4! with a liiyin. But this was short lived. 1'adberg gained It back on two free throws only to have Merseth make another bid with a pusher to give Burns the edge, 51-53. Padberg hit one from the baseline to even It at 53 -53, and the Heppner five pull ed away from that point.

He scored 22, seven field goals and eight free throws, but Heppner's five rode him down with their .43 iht cent shooting. Merseth blasted 17 in his at tempt to break the Mustangs, but he couldn't get them halter ed. Saturday night's game was dif ferent. Burns took the Jump and Hennner had to fight back. Paced by Diirrvl Womuik and Larsen, tho Highlanders got aheud as murh as eight points in the first quarter at 17-0, but big John Porter helped close the gap with some sterling play and timely shooting, so that they trailed only 16-19 going Into the second period. Burns made another strong bid In the second and moved away to 23-18 with Cal Mosley doing yeoman work for his team. At this Juncture, Coach Bob Can tonwlne sent in three from the bench Dick Springer, Gardner and Kit George and they stole the play from the Highlanders. Applegate started turning the tide with a pusher, then Gardner followed with a Jump. Springer picked up two free throws and the Mustangs were in front, 24 to 23. Larsen, Jim Catterson and Mosley fired back for Burns, but Springer put two more baskets in the bank and Gardner drilled n long pusher. Thus at haiftime the score favored Heppner 30-29. With Padberg, Dubuque and Moyer rested and ready and Porter doing great work under the boards, the Mustangs were off and running In the third quarter. By the end of the per iod they had the game sewed up to all Intents and purposes, 50 to 39. This night's work saw Heppner putting out a real team effort.
