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. The victory was
the third of the year for the
Horsemen and their second of
the year on their home court,
They have not been on the short
end of a score thus far in the
young season.
Ken Wright burned the strings
lor six points in the first period
to put the Mustangs ahead of
the taller Scotties, 14-4. Wright's
tallies came on a pair of 20-foot
jumpers and another beauty
from the 17-foot mark.

counters while the Mustangs
were getting only 11. 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.
Mike Shields gathered 21
counters for the Scottios while

Submerge McEwen
By GREG PIERCE
Heppner's jayvees took their
second basketball win of three
starts by dropping the McEwen
iayvees of Athena Friday night,
71-28.
The high flying jayvees were
never in trouble from buzzer to
buzzer. The Little Mustangs took
an early first quarter lead, 14-8,
and when they left the floor at
half time, had thrown in 35
points to McEwen's 16.
The jayvees continued to spark
as play was resumed in the sec
ond half by sizzling the net for
16 points to widen the lead in
the third quarter, 51 to 21.
In the fourth quarter McEwen
strategy failed to keep the young
Horsemen from running away to
the final lop-sided score.
Coach Don McClure started
a quint composed of David Han
na, Scott Barratt, Gene Heliker,
Tim Driscoll and Mark Brown.
High scorer for the Mustangs
was Heliker with 14. David Han
na and David Clark burned
the net for 10 each. High scor
ers for the Scotties were White
and Hines with six each.

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.

GIFT SUGGESTION
SKI
TRAILS
By BIRDINE TULUS
Things were buzzing at Ar
buckle last week-end. The area
was open Saturday and Sunday.
The skiing was good! Saw some
new faces on the slope. Marg
aret McCarter, Orville Cutsforth,
Gene Heliker, Marcel Jones, Lee
Daggett, Tommy Green and
Bruce Thomson, just to mention
a few. Danny McBride was back
again on skis after a broken
ankle on the slope a season ago.
All feel a bit rusty at the be
ginning of the season, but just
a day on skis arid the kids take
off like they had been skiing all
summer. The Jones kids find it
so much fun, that Marcel decided
he would give It a try. Skiing
is a good family sport.
With the Christmas vacation
coming up, many skiing fam
ilies will take time to visit some
of our nearby areas. A letter
received from Esther Eyraud tells
of some of the interesting things
that have been going on at
Spout Springs, and more events
to come. Esther is that very
charming blonde gal you see
dashing here and there and help
ing out with everything around
the lodge. Esther and Pete are
very interested in young people,
and do their utmost to see that
young skiers get off to a good
start. They have contributed a
great deal to skiing in Oregon
and the Pacific Northwest.
The Nordic Olympic Squad had
been at Spout Springs since the
beginning of December. The
Olympic tryout races began last
week-end. The final cross-country
race will be held Friday and
the jumping competition will be
on Saturday, December 21. The
Nordic Olympic team will be sel
ected after the third jumping
competition. Esther reports the
team as being a terrific group
of young men in super physical
condition, and that the group
was well satisfied with the
trails and terrain at Spout. An
other event of this week is the
annual Walker Cup races for
boys and girls. This is a PNSA
meet for Junior Expert, Inter
mediate and Novice skiers. The
slalom will be run on Saturday
and the downhill on Sunday.
This meet is sponsored by the
Blue Mountain Ski club. Also
coming up is the fourth annual
racing training camp conducted
for mitey mites and novice skiers
during the Christmas vacation.
Ski schools are underway and
private or class lessons are read
ily available. So if you are want
ing to visit some place new
try Spout Springs. There is about
30 inches of snow on the slope
at Spout at the present time.
A few suggestions to make
your skiing safer and more fun
Get in shape before the season
starts with exercises. Be consid
erate of other skiers. Stop skiing
before you get too tired. Do not
ski or explore beyond the cleared
areas. Respect the requests of
the Ski Patrol as they are there
for your safety and protection.
Fill your sitzmarks. Do not ski
through a ski class. Ski under
control at all times this means
being able to stop whenever nec
essary. Track! is the expression
used to clear the trail in case
you are out of control. Heavy
waterproof mittens are necessary
to ride the rope at Arbuckle.
Save those nice gloves for the
T-Bar or chair lifts.
New hours for skiing at Ar
buckle are 12:00 to 4:00 p.m.
each Saturday and Sunday. This
time schedule is subject to I
chance as the days lengthen. I
SEE YOU ON THE HILL!
