1 Mustangs Sweep Games On Week-end Jaunt Heppner High's basketball team captured two big victories on a week-end trip to the south, and thus definitely set them selves up as kingpins in the western division of the Greater Oregon league. They knocked over Grant Un ion at John Day Friday night, 87 to 66, as Lee Padberg went on a 44-point scoring rampage, and then topped Burns in a tough one Saturday night, 58 to 48. Padberg's 44 points Is high this season for any high school player in the state for a single game. In three consecutive games DeSales here, Sherman county at Moro and Grant Union he totaled 95 points, or an average of nearly 32 per con test. The Lexington star showed the strain of his heavy point production in the Burns tilt and was off on shooting to be held to nine points. The entire team was tired, but Fred Hamden, Dick Springer and Shan Apple gate were all in double figures to give the Mustangs balance and come through with victory. With the two triumphs, Hepp ner now has a 3-0 mark in the western division of the circuit, and their road trips are all be hind them except for the short jaunt to Pilot Rock on February 22. The contest with Pilot Rock here Friday night will be the Mustangs home league opener, after which Sherman county, Grant Union and Burns all must make the trip to the Heppner corral for return contests. Despite the big Heppner score, the Mustangs didn't have things all their own way at John Day, and the Burns game was truly a nip and tuck contest. Halftime score at John Day favored the winners only by seven points, 37 to 30, but the roof fell in on the Prospectors in the third quarter. The fast breaking Mustangs ran rampant to tally 32 points to 16 in the period for the losers. When the third quarter had opened, though, it appeared that the game could break either way. Heppner and John Day each traded shots at their re spective baskets, each taking five and each making five with out a miss. It was the Pros pectors who faded under the pace and Padberg was unstop pable. Thus, at the end of the period, the Mustangs had the game sewed up, 69 to 46, and they coasted the rest of the route. Surprisingly, the Heppner five outscored John Day only by one field goal, 31 to 30. The rest of the margin came on free throws 25 for Heppner to six for John Day. Supporters of the Heppner five who might have been- content for a split on this road trip saw the Mustangs frost the cake with the Burns win. A small but enthus iastic band of students and par ents made the long trek south and came back lubilant. The Mustangs held leads at all the quarter stops with the Highlanders but the determined Burns five, which was out to stop Heppner in this one, pulled up In between and captured the lead by a point or two at various times. Somewhat weary after the battle with Grant Union, the Mustangs were possibly in a pos ition to get nipped, but they came through with hustle with each of the starters carrying his share of the load. Hamden and Applegate were especially good on passing and iioor worK, rort er and Springer were strong un der the boards, and all five shared in the scoring. Of the starters, high was Hamden with 15 and lowest was Porter s eight None except the starters scored a point in the contest. Del Berg of the Highlanders was the fellow who kept the Mustangs In hot water. He con nected on eight field goals and added two free throws for 18. Dave Woodfin got 10 for Burns as second high man. Personal fouls threatened ca tastrophe for the Mustangs in the Burns game as Porter went out on fouls and three others of the starters App legate, Springer and Padberg finished on thin ice with four each. How ever, Burns had the same trouble, losing Gale Merseth and Mike Wilber with five each, and Del Berg and Pat Wilber were in jeopardy with four each. Like the Grant Union game, free throws made all the differ ence for Heppner. The High landers got as many field goals with 16, same as the Mustangs, but the touring Heppnerites con nected 26 times of 36 tries on the gift line to 16 to 24 for Burns.

Three others were in double figures Apple gate with 12, Springer with 14, and Porter with 11. The twin wins set off the greatest wave of basketball fever in Heppner that has been ap parent for many a moon.

T. Frost, Snow Survey supervisor for U. S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, cooperating with Ore gon State University and State Engineer. Stored water supplies are currently much better than last year, but below average for this date. There is no snow at all below 4,500 feet elevation, The January 1 surveys find this year's snow to be only 14 percent of that on hand one year ago at this date. Fortunately, there are at least two, maybe three, months' time remaining for accumulation of a good snow pack. Fall rains have been about normal and measurements of moisture in the upper water sheds indicate the recharge has come up to 87 percent of total capacity. This is better than the moisture conditions a year ago. Cold Springs reservoir now contains 27,450 acre feet com pared with 19,000 acre feet one year ago. The average storage on January 1 is .20,200 a.r. McKay reservoir has 10,640 acre feet in storage compared with 4,700 a.f. a year ago. The average storage at the beginning of the year is 26,000 acre feet. Flow of the Umatilla River at Umatilla (Preliminary data from U. S. Geological Survey, Port land, Oregon) has been 82 per cent of average since October 1. Inflow to McKay reservoir has been more than double that of last year up till now. Future streamflow will depend greatly on total precipitation and on a normal accumulation of a moun tain snow pack. Statewide, the early winter outlook for Oregon's 1963 irri gation water supplies is fair. Snow cover, in measurable amounts, is found only at high elevations and surveys there range from 0 to 33 percent of the usual January 1 snow water amounts. Reservoir storage is much better than last year at this time and, coupled with good soil moisture conditions over most of the state, is likely to be the safety factor needed to offset a low snow year. Fort unately, there are still two or three months remaining to im prove this low snow pack. The next report on snow sur veys and water supply con ditions will be issued on Feb ruary 8, 1963.
