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.

Irrigation Water
Outlook in 1963
Said 'Only Fair'
The outlook for 1963 irrigation
water supplies in the Umatilla
Walla Walla region of Oregon
is only fair with mountain snow-
pack practically non-existent ac
cording to a report released to
day by W. 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.
