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

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.

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.
