Mustangs Edge Visiting DeSales For Sixth Win Using superior marksmanship at the free throw lane and a 23 point output by forward Lee Padberg, the high-riding Hepp nor High basketball team edged the highly-touted DeSales quin tet of Walla Walla, Wn., by a close score of 51-44 on the home maple Saturday to gain their sixth win of the still young season. It was the second vie lory over DeSales this year by the Mustangs. The home club fired 56 shots at the hoop and made 18 good for a .321 clip and added 15 out of 24 from the free throw stripe for a better than .500 pace. Bob Greco and Jim Goulet tallied 13 and 12 points respec tively to lead the visitors in the scoring department. The vis itors outshot the home club from the field but had a lower percentage from the gift lane. The first half was a cold one for both clubs as the half ended with a low score of 17 to 15 in favor of the Mustangs, but the learns began to find the range in the third quarter and bring the score to a close 29 to 25 count in favor of the Mustangs. Guard Shan Applegate and Pad berg hit on a few short jumpers lale in the third stanza to set the pace for the high scoring fourth period when the Mus langs oulscored the visitors 22 to 19 and brought the final score lo 51-44. Forward John Porter and Cen lor Dick Springer showed a lot of hustle on the backboard against the rangy DeSales team as thoy brought down many im portant rebounds for the home team. Guard Fred Harnden also deserves some noteworthy praise as he broke up many crucial plays by the visitors and set up plays that enrled in two pointers for the Mustangs. Lee Padberg had another one of his fine nighls on the maple. The Junior forward hit on 10 of 17 from the field and 3 of 7 from the free throw lane to end up with 23 points, high for the game. Lee also showed good learn play with fine rebounding, pusslng, and ball stealing. This game marked the end of pre-league tilts for the Mus tangs, for they travel to Moro Friday night to take on the us ually strong Sherman High quintet in the first Greater Ore gon League game of the year. Townspeople of Ileppner have shown enthusiasm and support throughout the season with the crowds better than average.
