Restaurant Guest Checks GAZETTE-TIMES Ph. 676-9228 FOR MARCH Mustangs Capture Third in Tourney By JIM MORRIS Game, but futile, best de scribes the effort put forth by the Heppner Mustang basketballers Friday night in La Grande as they fell to the more experienced Vale Vikings, 69-37, in the first round of the District 7-A-2 bas ketball tournament. Vale went on to win the tourney and a berth In the state A-2 basket ball tournament Saturday with a 68-57 triumph over the Burns Hilanders, Friday night conquer ers of Enterprise. Saturday night, the Mustangs turned tigers and tipped the En terprise Savages, 46-44, to cap ture third place in the tourney. Friday the Blue and Gold had the chore of trying to bump off the top seeded team in the tour ney when they played the Vik ings, the top team ni the eastern half of the district. The local club failed to turn the trip as the Vale club fired a blistering barrage at the basket, hitting the hemp at a .538 pace for the evening. Heppner managed to stay in the contest for the first quarter with the Vikings as the Mus tangs slowed the pace and trail ed by two, 8-6, at the end of the stanza. Vale's offense began to click in the second canto and they gunned in 21 points for the quarter. Meanwhile, the Horse men were having troubles on the firing line and managed only four marks for the period. Vale led a the half, 29-10. After the intermission break, Heppner scored on fairly even terms with the Vale quint but were still staggering from the cold second quadrant. Vale coasted in the last period on their way to the important victory. One interesting fact that came from the Friday-game with Vale, is that the Burns cheering sec tion and cheer leaders came over to sit in the Mustang section and root for the Heppner team. The incident is a good illustration of fine sportsmanship on 'the part of the Hilanders. Ken Smith led the Mustangs scorers in the game as he tossed in 15 points. - . Ted Evans topped the game scorers and the Viking club with 16 points. Mustangs Kick Savages Saturday, it was a determined Heppner squad which took the floor to meet the Enterprise Savages in a battle for the con solation honors in the tourney. There were many heroes for the Horsemen in the contset as they turned back the Enterprise five. The teams fought evenly through the first period and were deadlocked at 9-9 when they lined up for the second-quarter tip. Things livened for the Hepp nerites in the second quadrant. The Mustang hoopsters increas ed their tempo to fire in 16 points and forge ahead of the Savages, 25-17 at the half. Enterprise fought gamely In the third period and narrowed the Mustang lead to six points, 35-29. The Wallowa county club kept up its stubborn tactics in the final canto and put together a rally that almost caught the local cagers. With the score at 46-44 and 18 seconds showing on the clock, Enterprise had the ball out of bounds under its own bucket. The Savages got the ball into play and appeared headed for a tie, which would have forc ed the game into an overtime period. Scott Barratt provided probably the biggest play for the Mustangs in the game as he blocked the shot of one of the enemy cagers driving for a cripple and the tie. Carl Bauman counted 15 for Heppner. Close behind were Bill Snyder and Ken Smith with 14 each. Creswicks Attend Portland Meeting Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Creswick attended a meeting of the Ore gon Funeral Directors at the Hilton Hotel in Portland from last Thursday through Saturday. One of the principal speakers at the meeting was Dr. Robert L. Fulton, associate professor of sociology at Los Angeles State Collogf. "Traditional funeral rites for the dead symbolize and give ex pression to religious beliefs, but changes in the pattern of modern living have made death to some more of a temporal than a spirit ual matter," i.o said. He added that the funeral today must be considered more, rather than less, socially useful and emot ionally valuable than before. Creswick is chairman of the Oregon association's annual con vention which will be held in May. TYPING PAPER. Mimeograph paper and other office sup plies for sale at the Gazette-Times.
