HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Thursday, December 6, 1962 Cardinals Enter Jamboree Friday With a crew of seven lettermen back from last year's team, lone High school's basketball squad will open the year Friday night at the "West End" jamboree of the Morrow-Umatilla B league at Riverside High, Boardman. The Cardinals will tackle Stan field in the opener in two 10 minute quarters, after which Riverside will play Umatilla's team No. 1, and concluding with Echo opposing Umatilla's team No. 2. Starting time for the jam boree is 7 p. m., and while bas keteers are vicing for honors, rooting sections will also com pete for a sportsmanship trophy, won last year by lone. This will be the only action for the Biehlmen until December 14 when they open their season's schedule at lone against Arling ton in a non-league. On the fol lowing night, Saturday, Decem ber 15, the Cardinals will swing into league play, going against Weston at lone. This year, the teams of the en tire league play each other on a home-and-home round robin schedule. With two non-league contests with Arlington, the lone five thus will have a total of 18 games in the regular season. Coach Glenn Biehl is fairly optimistic about the season's outlook. He has Ron Crabtree, high scorer of last year's team, back as a senior this year, and Rollie Ekstrom, another veteran, looks good. Crabtree averaged about 17 points per game last year and Ekstrom tallied about 10 per contest. Other seniors on the squad are Les Madden, Marv Padberg, Jim Martin and Gary Morgan. Only letterman who is not a senior is Ken Klinger who made his mark as a sophomore last year. Up from the jayvees to add strength are Bill Akers, senior; Steve Lindstrom and Tom Heim bigner. Three students are re porting for the first time this year without previous experi ence. They are Mancel Towns end, senior; Dick Hynd and John Rea, juniors; and Bob Emert, sophomore. Freshmen reporting incl u d e Herb Davidson, Jay Ball, Mark Halvorsen, Joe Hausler and Rod ney Linnell. After early practices, Coach Biehl says his team is "coming along pretty good." He believes McEwen of Athena will be the team to beat in the circuit. The top four clubs in the nine of the league at the end of the season will be matched against the top four of nine from the southern part of district 3 in the district tournament that will be hold in Pendleton at some date yet to be chosen. The Cardinals expect to build their offense around a tandem post with Crabtree, 6-2, at the high post and Ekstrom, 61, at the low post. They will fast break when conditions are right, the mentor says. Crabtree will be listed as center and Ekstrom will Don't DRESS Your Tree to KILL ! FOLLOW THESE SIX SAFETY RULES: 1. Place lights away from combustible materials. 2. Keep the tree away from fireplaces, radiators or heaters. 3. Avoid using candles. 4. Don't leave lights burning when going out. 5. Don't put cotton under your tree. 6. Overloading circuits is dangerous. Don't use too many lights. C. A. Ruggles Agency Hcppner Ph. 676-9625 have a forward spot. Probably destined for the other starting forward post from the 10-man traveling squad will be Jim Mar tin, and Ken Klinger seems to have the call for one of the guard positions. The fifth place on the team is a guard position that is "up for grabs" among four leading contenders, Heim bigner, Bill Klinger, Madden and Morgan. So keen is the compe tition among them that they may be alternating as starters throughout the year, Biehl said. 1926-63 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE IONE HIGH SCHOOL Dec. 7 Jamboree at Umatilla Dec. 14 Arlington at lone Dec. 15 Weston at lone Dec. 21 Riverside at Boardman Dec. 22 Athena at Athena Jan. 4 Stanfield at lone Jan. 5 Helix at lone Jan. 11 Echo at Echo Jan. 12 Umapine at lone Jan. 18 Umatilla at Umatilla Jan. 19 Arlington at Arlington Jan. 25 Riverside at lone Jan. 26 Weston at Weston Feb. 1 Stanfield at Stanfield Feb. 2 Athena at lone Feb. 8 Echo at lone Feb. 9 Helix at Helix Feb. 15 Umatilla at lone Feb. 16 Umapine at Umapine (All are conference games ex cept Arlington games.

John said that he expects to go to Washington State college after graduation. He transferred to Heppner High school last year from Pilot Rock.

Grand opening will be held at a later time, the owners state. They are carrying a full line of furnaces and floor coverings and offer service on electrical appli ances, refrigeration and heating. Both men have had long ex perience in these lines, having worked for years with Case Furniture Co. City Buys Pickup From Fulleton Eyes Water Fees Bid of Fulleton Chevrolet com pany to furnish a 1963 half-ton Chevrolet pickup, 3-speed stan dard, to the City of Heppner at a cost of $1475 with tradein was accepted by the city council at its meeting Monday night. Tho ritv bar) advertised for a light pickup to replace an old pickup now being used, and funds for the replacement were provided in the 1962-63 budget. Only other firm bidding was Heppner Auto Sales which offer ed a 1962 F-100 half-ton pick up, 4-speed, eight cylinder for $1584.83 with tradein. Fulleton also offered a 1961 Chevrolet Corvair pickup for $1200 and a 1957 GMC 4-speed at $800. The council decided that the new one would be the best buy for the city. The matter of charges for water to churches was reviewed at the meeting. It has been the policy of the city to furnish water to churches without cost. How ever, parsonages pay for water at regular rates. Superintendent Vic Groshens pointed out some inequities which have come about as the result of this policy lone High Sets Driving Policy Faculty of the lone High school has established regula tions for students driving to school, Gene Harryman, admin istrator, announces. The policy is as follows: 1. The school is responsible for students from the time they leave home until the time they return home. Therefore, drivers are requested to drive directly to school from home and park their vehicles. 2. Vehicles are not to be moved from their parked places except in extreme or unusual circum stances. 3. Any report of reckless driv ing, speeding or carelessness during the school day may cause a student to lose his driv ing privileges. Students are urged to take the most direct route home when they leave the school, Harry man said. and asked the council to review the situation. Some churches use water from church hydrants to take care of parsonage lawns and gardens, he said. Also, some wasteful practices have been ob served. Groshens recommended that all churches be placed on meters and that a plan be established where churches would receive a certain amount without charge. The matter was submitted to the water committee for consider ation. Attention was called to the fact that drainage near the new high school, that had been ex pected to be done by the school district, has not been done and water continues to run down the extension of Morgan street to flood property owners below. It was recommended some time ago that diversion ditch be dug above to carry the water off to the northwest along the other approach. Recorder Ted Smith was asked to check into the matter. The council approved beer li 'cense renewals for Aiken's Sport Shop and Cal's Tavern. It also approved construction of a large billboard by Honald Sign Co. on the north side of the Case Furn iture Co. on space to be leased to the company by Mrs. Gene Case. Building permits were approv ed as follows: Alvie Jones, 175 Baltimore St., home alterations and repairs, $2000; Mabel David son, 610 N. Main, porch construc tion, $300; Harry Munkers, 585 Jones, repairs, $1000. The council canvassed votes ot the recent election of city of ficers and certified the totals to be correct. Matter of boys shooting shacks at the city dump was brought up. It was reported that they had shot through the building that houses the city's tractor, and it is feared that the tractor might be damaged if the practice is allowed to continue. It was point ed out that shooting in the dump is in violation of a city ordinance, and violators will be prosecuted. Councilman John Pfeiffer brought up the matter of the need for a guard rail on hill on the extension of Morgan street near the new school and said he is afraid that some car may go out of control on the hill in bad weather and roll over the embankment. Councilman Carl Spaulding brought up the matter of young drivers "squirreling" on the streets. A general discussion fol lowed but no action was taken. Groshens pointed out that the ceiling is about to fall off in the old library and recommend ed it be stripped and covered with acoustical tile. The matter was turned over to the streets and property committee. Councilman Ed Gonty presid ed at the meeting in the ab sence of Mayor Al Lamb and Conlev Lanham, president of the council.
