tone's spirited Cardinals miss
ed a fir.t place tie in the Uma
till-Morrow B basketball league
this week by a whisker, losing
tc McEwui High at Athena Sat
urday night. 34 to 49, alter lea 1
ing until the final four minutes
of p:ay.
The Cards had slaptKd Uma
pine at It-ne Friday night. 72 to
3, while the Riverside Pirat:
surprised the league-leading
rnot koi k quint, 48 to 47.
If CoaA Gene Dockter's boys
naa not taitcred in the final
minutes Saturday night, they
would be deadlocked now with
the Rockets with a 7-2 mark.
However, the McEwen win
drops the Cards into a second
place with Umatilla at 6-1
But a fate of scheduling gives
the Cardinals a big opportunity
on the coming week-end. They
start the second half of league
play and go to Pilot Rock Fri
day night for a real big one.
The Rockets won in their first
meeting, but Coach Dockter
thinks his boys now have the
horses to upset the league lead
ers. On Saturday night, the lone
team has a golden opportunity
to avenge its loss to the Scot
ties of Athena. McEwen comes
ta lone for a return game.
Should the Cards be able to
come up with twin wins, they
will get a jump on the field
down the home stretch in the B
circuit
Victory over Umapine Friday
night came rather easily for the
Cards. They held an 11-point
bulge at the first quarter stop
and picked up momentum until
the fourti quarter when they
coasted home. The lone five shot
.420 from the floor while Uma
pine hit at a .335 clip.
A zone defense held Rain
water, usually good for 25 to 30
points per contest, to 11 in this
one. Frank Halvorsen led in re
bounding with 14, and as a
team, lone topped Umapine on
rebounds, 47 to 35.
Against McEwen, the Cards
went cold with four minutes lo
go in the game. They made on
ly one of nine shots good in the
final quarter. Halvorsen went
out on personals with four min
utes left in the game, and this
lost a lot of the board strength
tor the Cards.
While McEwen hit nine of 10
free throws in the final quarter,
lone missed five tree throws
and three layins with less than
two minutes to play
lone shot in front in the first
quarter, 18 to 11, but Athena
moved into a 28-28 tie at half
time. The Cards surged ahead
in the third for a 44-37 margin
going into the final period. In
the fourth quarter the Cards
made onlv five points while the
Scotties tallied 17.
"We played a good game but
had a little bad luck with our;
shooting in the last quarter,
along with several costly turn
overs," Coach Dockter said after
the game.

Coming Games Friday: Ma !

Saturday: iNo league games

Last Weok's ResulU Friday:
Sherman 5S, Heppner 51; Wah

47, Burns 44.
Saturday: Heppner 65, Madras
49; Sherman 71. Wahtonka 42;
Grant Union 55, Enterprise J4.
After splitting a pair of games
Inst weekend, the Heppner
Mustangs take to the road this
week for a one-game encounter
with Wahtonka of The Dalles
Friday night. Last week's 5S 51
Kss to Sherman County and th3
6ci-49 win over Madras tied the
Blue and Gold for first with
Sherman in Greater Oregon
League standings. Both current
ly sport a record of four wins
and one loss.
The always pesky Eagles of
Wahtonka are now tied for fifth
with Burns, both boasting two
victories against three defeats.
Tl ey also split two games last
week nipping Madras in a
heart-thumper, 61-60, then being
clobbered by Sherman. 71-42.
At first glance Wahtonka
would apjear to be ne of the
circuit's weaker clubs this. How
ever, a closer examination of its
5 4 overall record reveals fairly
close losses to Enterprise I.t6-47)
and Burns (59-541. But most
important, the Eagles edgi-d
tough Grant Union, 50-43, tw.-j
weeks ago
Gary Ricketts and Mike Hei
st ih provide the bulk of Wah
tonka's soring punch. Ricketts,
a thorn in the Mustang side last
year, gunned In 22 points
cgainst Madras and added 19 in
the Sherman fray. Helseth's top
effort f tie year has been 19
counters.
Heppner figures to be "out or
blood" this week after the heart
I reaking loss to Sherman and
subsequent letdown in the Mad
ras contest.
The picliminary junior varsity
game will begin at the usual
time (6:30), followed by the var
sity fray at 8:15.

Mustangs Power
Way to Victory
Oyer Madras Five
Winless Madras, consigned to
the cellar of the western divis
ion of the Greater Oregon
League, put up quite a battle
before Heppner High's Mustangs
subdued the White Buffaloes on
the basketball court here Satur
day night. But the Mustangs'
power brought victory over the
taller Madras team, to to 49. j
After a close first quarter, the j
Mustangs moved to a 3417 lead
by halftime and appeared to be
on the verge of running away
with the contest. But the visit
ors came out firing in the third
quarter and melted the lead,
coming within four points of
catching up. Some good shoot
ing by the Mustangs, coupled
with ball hawking tactics,
brought them back to a 10-point
margin by the start of the
fourth quarter. From that point,
Heppner had the game under
control. Every man on the Mus
tang roster got into the game,
and most of them contributed
to the final margin of 16 points.
Hot shooting Don Boyle of the
Buffaloes topped scoring for the
evening with 17 points. Jim Do
herty led Heppner with 15 on
six field goals and three free
throws.

Even the ash tray rides
smoother in Chevrolets
When you're down at your dealer's trying out new Chevrolet, be turc
you pull out the ash tray. Notice how nice and easy it glides, never hanging
up or even scraping. The reason Is, it rides on ball bearings. Four shiny
little ball bearings. (Take the tray all the way out and you'll set them.)
iou say you don't even smoke? Then look at it this way. That
ash tray is a symbol of the way we make cars: Paying extra
attention to the little things as well as the big ones, is a way
of making extra sure your '67 Chevrolet gives you
that sure feeling
