HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Mustangs To Meet Wahtonka, McEwen In Cage Contests Heppner opens the second round of Greater Oregon league basketball play Friday night as It hosts Ihe Wahtonka High school Eagles of The Dalles. The Mustangs hope to extend their 5-0 league record when they meet the Eagles, a team they have beaten once this season. Tuesday night, the Mustangs will travel to Athena to meet the McEwrn Scotties In a non-league contest. Earlier in the season the Mus tangs met the Wahtonka club on the Eagles' home court in The Dalles. In that contest, the Was co club proved surprisingly tough and made the Heppner club scramble to gain a 49-45 win. The Mustangs, on the other hand, are convinced that an un usually small gym and a cold night from the field were the reasons for their mediocre show ing against the Eagles and will be out to prove their point to the home fans. The Horsemen hope to further their 12-1 season's record when they meet the Eagles and at the same time, gain more punch in their drive for the loop crown. Tuesday night the Mustangs will put a lot of prestige on the block when they meet the scrappy Scotties, another team they have faced victoriously this season. Although the McEwen club is In the state B ranks, it is highly regarded by the A-2 clubs in the area. The Scotties knocked off A-2 Pilot Rock earlier in the year by a considerable margin to make others sit up and take notice. In their earlier meeting, the Scots lost a squeaker to the home club by a 64-58 margin. In that contest, the lead changed hands many times and the Mus tangs had to go all-out to gain their triumph. Friday evening the McEwen five dumped highly regarded Weston to the tune of 79-47 as three of their starters hit in the double figures. The win put the Scots in sole possession of the lead in the Umatilla-Morrow league with a record of 9-0. Should the Mustangs drop the Tuesday contest to the Scots it would seriously jeopardize the Mustangs fifth place rating among the top ten A-2 quints in the state. In the initial meeting between the clubs, the Mustangs were without the services of Doug Du buque and Ken Smith. With Du buque in the line-up for this contest, the Mustangs expect to give the Scots a whirl for con trol of the boards. Smith's ball handling talents will also weigh heavily in the Heppner plans. Mike Shields leads the high powered McEwen scoring attack and is a threat on the boards. In the first contest, Shields counted 21 against the Mus tangs.

Umatilla came on strong in the second stanza and outhustled the Cards. The Viks counted 17 in the period while holding the Redbirds to 12 and took a one point, 24-23 lead fnto the locker room at halftime. The momentum of the Uma tilla attack carried into the third quadrant as the Viks con tinued in their scoring barrage. By the end of the quarter, the Vikings had widened their lead to six points at 43-37 With less than two minutes to go in the final period, the Umatilla five held an eight point advantage. At this point the Card warriors put on an enviable rally that pulled them into a tie with the Viks with less than a minute to play. This was as close as the lone quint could get, however, as an over-anxious eager committed his fifth pers onal of the contest and the Vik ings converted the error to their advantage and turned it into a three-point play. Following this, the Cards were able to score another counter from the floor but were unable to overhaul the Viks. Jay Ball was top scorer for the Cards and for the contest as he hit the twine for 24 points. Mark Halvorsen counted 14 for the lone quint.

During the last phase of the game the Redbirds found their mark for 20 points and held the Arlington crew to nine counters. Three Ionians scored in the double figures for the night.
