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.
