Heppner Coaches Have Bumper Basketball Turnout
Heppner High school basket
ball coaches are a little bit in
the same predicament as the
"Old Woman Who Lived in a
Shoe."
They have such a big turnout
of basketball players this season
that they don't quite know what
to do with them all, but yet
don't want to give up any of
their talent.
Unlike last year, Coach Bob
Cantonwine has an experienced
squad for the varsity with some
promising newcomers up from
the jayvees and one likely trans
fer in the person of Fred Harn
den, formerly of Mitchell. Fred
won his spurs in Mustang ath
letics in football and appears as
an even better basketball pros
pect. Back as seniors are Shan

Two of last year's veterans are
Juniors, including high-scoring
Lee Padberg, who connected for
33 points in one game last year,
and another big guy, Doug Du
buque. Other junior candidates
are Ken Wright and Ken Smith,
both of whom saw reserve ac
tion with the varsity last year,
and three of last year's layvees
vieing for positions on the squad,
including Bill Sherman, Ray
Nichols and Richard Clark.
There are no sophomores out
for the varsity this year, and no
room for them unless they could
turn out to be exceptionally
good. The coach faced the hard
task of cutting his squad to 12
this week, and early in the week
he could not say just where the
cuts would be. Three probably
will go to the jayvees but Coach
Dick Strait said there is a goodly
turnout of prospects, too, includ
ing 19 sophomores, all rann' to
go. Strait this year is taking
the jayvee assignment which
Coach Jim Sutherland, head foot- j
ball coach, had last year. Suther
land will assist Pete Glennie in
baseball in the spring and also
will help Don McClure in track.
Coach Strait formerly coached
at Sandy high and at the Uni
versity of Alaska,
There is no doubt that Heppner
this year will be on the comfort
able "hot seat" as one of the
teams in the Greater Oregon
league to beat for the champion
ship. Coach Cantonwine would
like to shift some of that pres
sure to John Day which will
have four starters back in the
lineup and will floor an all-
senior ball club.
Burns is considered a "sleeper"
because of its size, and Sherman
county will have two of its last
year's starters back. Pilot Rock,
competing for its first year in
the circuit, Is rated as one of the
underdogs.
The Mustangs will probbaly
play a 3-2 offense this year
with the post about at the free
throw line and forwards on
either side directly towards the
sidelines from him. Guards will
be back In direct line from the
sides of the key towards the
center of the floor, some 5 or
feet back of the center. A
large area underneath the bas
ket will be open for driving.

Offense will be fast break, a
la Cantonwine, and a pressing
defense will be employed much
of the time.
The candidates have been
working hard at drills since start
of practice last Juesclay and
look fairly good at this early
season point, the coach admit
ted.
Opener for the team will be
tough with uetsaies ot walla
Walla there on December
This is a school of some 425 and
the team has all starters back
from last year. They beat Mac
Hi twice last season. This u ;
non-league game for the mus
tangs, however.
Another tough one follows on
Saturday, December 8, when
Heppner plays McEwen at
Athena. This club lost to Mt
Vernon in the B district tourna
ment last year but made a good
accounting or nseir towards state
laurels, only a lew are gone
from their last year s team.
Home opener is with Umatilla
here December 11, a Tuesday
night.
League play doesn't start un
til January 11, when the Mus
tangs travel to Moro for an en
counter with Sherman county,
The team has one non-league
tilt booked tor the Christmas
holidays, against Stanfield here
on December 29.
Coach Cantonwine figures that
the winner of the western div
ision of the Greater Oregon
league this year must rack up
at least a 7-1 record to take the
honors. Chances are that the
champion will play Vale for the
right to go to tournament.
Those basketball fans who
want a bargain may buy season
tickets soon for $6.50, entitling
them to nine home games which
have admission of $1 each. There
may be 10 home games adding
a bonus game to the season
ticket holder if an opponent
can be found for the open dates
of January 8 and 29. Originally
games were scheduled with lone
on these dates, but the contests
were cancelled.
Starting times for home
games all doubleheaders will
be 6:30 for jayvees and 8:15 for
varsity.

Mrs. Gordon Speaks
To Soroptimist Club
On Retarded Children
"Every child should have the
right to develop to his full po
tential, and to be a productive
part of our society," Mrs. Helen
Gordon told members and guests
of the Soroptimist club at a
luncheon meeting last Thursday
noon.
Mrs. Gordon, one of the direc
tors of the Portland Jewish Com
munity center for retarded
children, has had a very active
part in the development of edu
cational facilities and the under
standing of modern problems in
Oregon relative to the mentally
retarded child. She has done
much in this field through legis
lative interest in national and
state governmental organiza
tions. The speaker also appeared on
the Heppner PTA program last
Wednesday evening, calling at
tention to the needs in this field.
Accompanying Mrs. Gordon to
the meeting was Mrs. Ed Dick,
local PTA president.
Other guests present were two
high school senior girls, Ann
Jones and Laura Lee Sumner;
also Mrs. Bernard Doherty, Mrs.
Clarence Frederickson, and Mrs.
Earl Ayers. Mrs. Ed Gonty pre
sided at the meeting in the ab
sence of Mrs. Jim Hager, presi
dent. "Over 54,000, or slightly above
3 of our total population in
Oregon, are mentally retarded,"
Mrs. Gordon told the group.
"Eighty-three per cent of these
are mildly retarded, or are able
to be educated and equipped to
earn their own living. A little
above thirteen per cent are mod
erately retarded but able to care
for themselves and work In
sheltered areas. Slightly over
four per cent are severly re
tarded and will need institut
ional care during their lives.
About $160 a month is the av
erage cost to care for a mentally
retarded person in an institu
tion," the speaker pointed out.
Present national need is for
55,000 additional teachers in this
field, and more and better
equipped institutions. She urged
community cooperation ana sup
port of the local program and
of legislation which would in
crease funds available for bud
gets to carry on research work
in medicine and for profession
ally trained personnel.
