fetching total lor a sophomore.
The Lexington lad drilled 10

free throw line.
After losing two heartbreakcrs
at Burns, the Mustangs would
nut be denied here. 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

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

BiL' G'5" Lee Larsen was a
thorn in the side of the Mus
tancs all night, but he proved
to be onlv a burr under the
blanket of the hool-klcking Mus
tanus. 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

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

Mosley fired back for Burns, but
Springer put two more baskets
