Newspaper Page TextHEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday. December 26, 1963 Heppner, Fossil, Condon, Sherman In Holiday Show (Continued from page 1) The combined record of the four teams in the tourney shows only one defeat for the season, that being Condon's loss to Hepp ner in the Friday contest. Wheel er, Sherman and Heppner are undefeated in competition this year. Sherman Is the solid favorite to win the tourney. The Huskies start five seniors of which two were starters last season. Doug Bish leads the Husky attack with his deadly outside shooting abil ities and his springy rebounding talents. The Huskies are rated as the team to beat in the race for the western division of Greater Ore gon conference crown. The Mus tangs are also a member of the Greater Oregon loop, and if the two teams meet in the tourney it would present a good picture on the Mustangs hopes for ihe league crown. Condon is a dark horse in the race for the tourney champion ship. The Blue Devils demon strated that they are a team to reckon with in their game with the Mustangs as they made the Horsemen go to the wire to grab the victory. With their height, the Condon quint can't be rated as an also-ran for the tourney. Bob Cantonwine, He p p n e r basketball mentor, 'commented on the tourney picture by say ing that the affair will give local fans a chance to see four of the finest. A-2 and B basketball teams in the state in action. Nightly admission for the games will be $1 for adults, and $.50 for students with stu dent body cards.

Mustangs Open New "Corral" With 58-54 Win Heppner High scored first and most Friday night as they trip ped the Condon Blue Devils, 58 54, in the inaugural basketball tilt played on the Mustang's new floor. A crowd of around 800 turned out for the affair and before the night was over witnessed a free-wheeling ball game. Condon outshot the Horsemen from the field and the free throw line but didn't get as many blasts at the basket. The Mustangs dis played a case of nerves as they managed only a .319 percentage from the floor and .387 from the charity stripe. Condon shot a .333 from the floor and .695 from the gift line. The Mustangs jumped to a quick 3-0 lead in the first stanza as Dave George hit on a lay-in and connected on a gifter. From here the local quint ran their lead to 14-7 at the end of the period. The Blue Devils swept back in the second quarter to out shoot the Mustangs and narrow the lead to 23-21 at halftime. R. Stinchfield led the Condon attack in the period as he con nected for seven counters. After the rest break the Mus tangs came back to widen their margin, largely on the arm of Ken Wright who reeled off eight points in the quadrant. Wright hit four straight jumpers mid way through the period to hinder the Blue Devils. At the end of the period the Horsemen were in command of a 45-37 lead. A determined rally in the fourth quarter caught the Mus tangs with their guard down and they had to fight for survival in the contest. Led by Jim Bailey and Gary Beck, the Condon crew whittled the Mustang lead to 2-points with 1:50 to play. At that point, Doug Dubuque, a Mustang who had seen no action this year due to an in jured knee, came through with a timely tipin to preserve the Mustang lead at four points Condon was not to be denied as Bailey hit an 18-foot beauty from the corner to put his team back into contention. With less than a minute re maining in the contest, Heppner attempted to stall out the clock. With just 4 seconds remaining Carl Bauman was fouled and stepped to the charity stripe to coolv hit on two attempts to put the game on ice for the Mus tangs. Lee Padberg was a ball of fire on defense and led the Mustang offensive effort with 15 points. Bauman and Wright contributed 14 and 12 points respectively for the Mustangs. Beck and Bailey each hit 12 points for the Blue Devils. Scoring: Condon (54) T. Bailey 6 G Jim Bailey 12 G Avagnon C Stinchfield 0 F Parrish 5 F Substitutes: Condon Beck, 12; R.
