Mustangs In Basketball With only one man from last year s starting live in the open ing lineup, Heppner's Mustangs opened the basketball season with a bang as they shellacked DeSales of Walla Walla here Fri day night, 61 to 29, and followed with a 59 to 41 triumph on the DeSales floor Saturday night. The contest here found the Heppner lads pretty well sub merging ihe visitors, but the game at Walla Walla was con siderably closer. A scoring rash by the Mustangs In the late stages there widened the gap to give them the final 18-point margin. Lee Padberg, the senior vet eran around whom the Mus tangs are built again this year, showed his teammates how to do it in both contests. He poured in a total of 48 points 23 on Friday and 25 on Saturday as well as pulling many rebounds and zipping all over the floor on defense. Showing good hustle and fair firepower for an opener, the Mus tangs unveiled some fine hopes for the upcoming season. Ken Wright, the only other letter man from last year to start Fri day, blistered the cords with some long shoots and contrib uted 10 points to the home five's cause, and Carl Bauman, a Jay vee of the 62-63 season, perform ed well, adding seven points. A comer as a guard was also revealed In Stuart Dick, ball hawk with a capital B. He made several improbable steals and was as pestiferous to the visitors as a horse fly in a deer hunter s camp. Ailing Coach Bob Cantonwine, still engaged in a bout with pneumonia but who appeared at the game looking about as pale as Monday morning s snow, used every man on his squad in the opener, and nine of them contributed to the total score, some of the youngsters coming through with neat shots and good floor work in the time) they were in the contest. Heppner commanded every quarter In the game, reaching a high In team scoring with 18 points In the third period. Padberg dumped in the first two points within seconds after the opening buzzer to start the season, after which the DeSales five connected for three straight field goals before the Mustangs Factory Fresh MONGERS ' i An Atlas "A" Battery i$ "dry charged" at the ; -( factory and is activated i the day you buy it t not one moment be- fore!

The rather listless visitors then stalled at the six points while the Mustangs pull ed away to a 11-6 margin. The end of the first quarter found the home five ahead, 15 to 8. By halftime they held a 30 to 18 margin, and stretched this to 48 to 25 by the end of the third period. DeSales only made four points In the final quarter and never could quite climb over the 30 point mark. Heppner topped 60 points when reserve Sam Strait, coming In late in the game, whipped In a field goal in the waning seconds. The visitors had trouble with personal fouls, committing 23, which hindered their cause. Their leading point producer was Don Hanson with eight. Heppner's jayvees won going away, 45-32. In Saturday night's game, the two squads were tied at the 12, but Heppner edged to a 23- rm i -j i i it.: t 6u iuuu oy jiauuiiie. in iiiu iiuiu quarter, the Mustangs picked up fnot , hree points to go in front 37 to 31. It wasn't uniil the final period, though, that they turned on the steam, fir ing 22 points against 10 for De Sales, to wind up with the final 59-41 count. Padberg zeroed in on the hoop with a deadeye in the contest, hitting nine of 18 field goals and coming through with a perfect seven on the free throw line. Wright again contributed 10 points, and Dick was third for the Mustangs with six. Hanson of DeSales topped his teammates with 16. In the jayvee game, the De Sales seconds turned the tables on the Mustang colts, winning 53 to 46.

I' X A SKI i HlBal vn a iff r By BIRDINE TULLIS With the arrival of a little snow in the lowland, thoughts really turn to skiing. The season got underway at Arbuckle last Sunday. The depth of the snow on the slope varied, but the con dition was excellent. A number of high school students and ski club members were there to test the snow and the equipment. The slope is really greatly improved from last year. From the top of the tow it provides a good slope for the intermediate and more advanced skier. The beginners find a challenge from about half of the way up the rope. At the top I paused to enjoy the view across the mountains on a clear day one can see a breathtaking landscape of snow and greens. More snow has fallen on the area since last week-end, so skiing should be good this week end. Snow tires or chains are necessary. The Booster Night was a suc cessful and pleasant evening for all attending. Such a tempting and delicious display of good food! The entertainment for the evening was a style show, and slides taken by various people at the area. The style show was especially interesting. The var ious moods and styles for ski wear were provided by our local stores. The young people model ing did so with all the charm and poise of professional models. Some of the young models were Judy Jones, Lee Daggett, Pam Johnston, Tim Tullis, Martha Peck, Steve Peck, Dale Vance, Ron Jones, Cathy Melby, Susie Melby, Marcia Sowell, and Tom Green. Thanks kids, for a job well done. A variety of door prizes were awarded during the evening. The main prize of a transistor radio was won by Don Bristow of lone. The slides pro vided a personal touch many who did not expect to be a part of the evening's entertainment found themselves on the screen. A Ski iClub thanks to all who helped to make the evening a success! The area will be in operation Saturday and Sunday. Those coming for a full day of skiing should bring lunches. Peck's Ski Shop has rentals available on the hill for the convenience of those who do not have equip ment. Those who have asked about lessons are asked to con tact Steve Peck. He hopes to get classes started next week. What and who is a skier? The skier likes weird hats, five inches of powder snow, moun tains without moguls, talking about his trouble-free runs and near misses, long week-ends, and enough runs to make his tow ticket a bargain. When not skiing well it is because his boots are loose, his skis too long or too short, his wax is wrong, his glasses are fogged, or the snow just isn't right! His vocab ulary is limited but does Include a few words such as wedeln. schuss, sitzmark, and track! He spends his weeks recovering from the sniffles brought on by all that good clean cold air, and repairing the damages to his skis and clothing just to do it all again the next week end. Skiers are plentiful in our area. Pray for more snow and we'll SEE YOU ON THE HILL! Lily May Nistad, Marilyn Bailey, and Margaret McConnell. Mr, and Mrs. Stanley Benson spent the week-end at Wieser, Idaho visiting relatives and on business.
