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

shifted gears. 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.

two squads were tied at the

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

on the Mustang colts, winning
53 to 46.

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!
