December 19. 1963 Mustang Five Prevai n 'Antique Palace' Heppner's high-flving Mus tangs jumped to an early lead riaay night but had to stave off a determined McEwen rally to preserve a 64-58 basketball victory over the tough Scottles from Athena.

Mike Shields led the Scotty attack that knotted the score at 25-25 when the buzzer sounded to end the half. Heppner's Lee Padberg, who hit for 11 points in the initial half, found the range in the third period and bombarded the net from all angles on the floor. Padberg poured in 10 points dur ing the period and put the Mus tangs ahead, 43-41, with a 12 foot jumper with one second snowing on the clock. Going into the final stanza of play, the crowd braced them selves for a thriller. That is just what they got, as the two teams battled to the wire. Heppner pre vailed, however, as Stuart Dick and Carl Bauman kept the Scot tics confused with their ball hawking talents and Padberg supplied the firepower with a 12-point outburst to lead the quint to the 64-58 victory. Padberg led the Mustangs with 33 points, the highest output for an A-2 player in the state for a single game this year. Dave George contributed 10 points to the Mustang effort.

Mustangs Swamp Gervais, 71-41 On Old Gym Floor Playing what they hope is their last game on the old gym floor, Heppner's Mustangs cele brated the occasion by swamping their cross-state basketball riv als, Gervais of the Capital Con ference, here Saturday night 77 to 41. Proving inhospitable hosts on the court, the Mustangs blasted the visitors' full-court press, and four of five Heppner starters fin ished in double figure point pro duction. Lee Padberg led the scoring with 20 on six field goals and eight free throws. Teammate Carl Bauman had lb on seven and two, Ken Wright, firing at a .500 clip, had 14 on 6 and 2, and Dave George had 11 on five and 1. In the early stages, the game looked as if it might be a donney brook, because the Gervais five was big and agile. However, by the end of the first quarter, the Mustangs had the edge, 13 to 9, and they pulled from that point. It was a rough contest of the "hands and arms" variety not the block 'em, sock 'em, kind of battle that sometimes occurs on the court, but by no means a smooth performance from either team. Twenty personals were called on Heppner and 18 on Gervais. Gervais, which is located near Woodburn in the Willamette valley, had a team equally as big as McEwen's Scotties, which played here the night before. They had some trouble finding the range to the hoop, however, and managed to drill only la oi 69 shots. Heppner almost doubled their percentage with 31 of 72 tries. On free throws the Mus tangs had 15 of 25 while Gervais had 11 of 23. By halftime, the home five seemed to have a fairly safe lead, 33 to 22, but came through with a big third quarter to mane it 55 to 34 by the start of the fourth. Coach Bob Cantonwine sub stituted only sparingly in the game and explained later that he did not want to put his re serves in the game as long as the visiting coach kept using the full court press since the youngsters had not practiced against it. However, he used five reserves, and one, Bill Snyder, bagged three field goals on three shots, a perfect 1,000 percentage. In two other games in which he has played this year, he has shot three other times and made all three, thus making a perfect mark for the season to date. In a grade school preliminary game, Coach Clint Agee's Ponies squeaked by the lone grade school 43 to 42 after a late rally. They trailed as much as five points late in the fourth quarter, but picked up a few free throws and a basket or two to overhaul the young Cardinals, Steve Pettyjohn making a last minute layin field goal for the victory. Score was tied at the half, 18-18, and lone had a 30-27 lead at the start of the fourth quarter.
