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. At
(he DeSales game it was almost
"standing room only" with the
spectators occupying nearly
every available seat.

lead and ended the half, 31-9
The second half found the Card

Saturday night's action was
somewhat different than that of
Fridays. The men from Helix
stayed relatively close to the
Cardinals up to the intermission

erior play of defense and marks
manship, the Cardinals steadily

Snow or no last Saturday a
group of optomistic skiers
gathered at Arbuckle Mountain
for a club work day. On almost
any week-end a few members
are busy at the area. This Satur

ed by the president, Don Peter

done.
There will be another work
day this Saturday, Jan. 12. All
club members are urged to be
present to complete the work on
the hill. All who have chain
saws are asked to bring them.
Don would like to have some

make it possible for safe skiing
with less snow cover than is
needed at present. So all mem
bers, please be present to get
the area in shape.
