Turnover trouble, which has been a problem for the Card inals in recent games, plagued them again. The Cards held a lead at one time early in the fame and came close to catch ing up in the second hall, but Riverside was is front at all the quarter stops, holding a three point margin at the end of the frst, five at the half, and five at the end of the third.

On Saturday night, the Card inals hit the victory trail again with a 58-38 win over eight place Weston on the Tiger's court. Coach Gene Dockter called it the Cardinals' best defensive game of the year. Weston made only 10 field goals and the Tigers' shooting percentage was .190 as compar ed with the Cards' 18 field goals and a shooting mark of .389.

They defeated Stan field, 69 to 51, January 6, and Helix, 61 to 36, on January 7. Stanfield now stands lust a notch below lone in the league ladder and may prove tough on its home floor. Helix has not von a game in 13 league starts, but the Cards aren't overlook ing the fact that they might give trouble, too. Ione's hope now is to pull up in the circuit to at least third place. After this week-end, there are only three games left for the Cards against Echo, Uma tilla and Umapine, in that order. turnover trouble in hand and showed good hustle both offen sively ana defensively in the victory.

Mustangs Defeat Savages, 73-46, At Enterprise By RICK JOHNSTON Heppner's Mustangs took ov er undisputed possession of first place in the Greater Ore gon League basketball race Fri day night by handing the En terprise Savages a 73-46 scalp ing at Enterprise.

Saturday: Heppner at Grant Union, Wahtonka at Burns. En terprise at Sherman. By virtue of their resounding victory over Enterprise there Saturday night 73 to 46, and an assist bv Burns, which meas ured Sherman County also Sat urday night. 52 to 47, the Hepp ner Mustangs again stand alone at the top of the western div ision of the Greater Oregon league for the moment. They have that big long road trip coming up this week-end to Burns and John Day, and it is tough to take both games on this trip, according to showings In recent years. It is a certainty that the HI landers won't be as accommo dating to the Mustangs Friday night as they were in downing Sherman, which vaulted the Horsemen to the league lead af ter being knotted with the Hus kies. Mustang followers remember that Heppner had one of its toughest games of the season, except for the loss to Sherman, against the Hilanders when the Burns bunch came here. The Hi landers threw . a ball control game at the (astbreaking Mus tangs and for time appeared to have the Heppner basket eers eating out of their hands. Heppner finally prevailed, how ever, to gain a 50-47 win. It would seem that the Mustangs will have to be at their best to top the Hilanders on their home court. On the ensuing night the Horsemen play a return engage ment with the Prospectors of Grant Union at John Day. While Heppner had a surprisingly easy time against the Grant team here, it could be consid erably different on the Pros pector floor against the win hungry John Day quintet. After this trip, only three rounds remain in league play prior to district tournament at La Grande. At the present time it appears as if Sherman, Burns and Heppner will be the west ern division's entries in the tourney with Vale representing the eastern division. The big return game with Sherman county will be com ing up here on Friday, Febru ary 17, at which time the Mus tangs hope to square their only league loss to date. Saturday night, February 18, the Hepp ner squad goes to Madras, and they finish against Wahtonka hero on Friday. February 24. Burns' win over Sherman was the highlight of the past week's play and set up the inlanders as a darkhorse In the league. The triumph was a little more significant because It was achieved on the Sherman Coun ty floor. Madras crabbed a share of the week's spotlight by fashion ing Its first win of the season against Grant Union by a score of 49 to 42 at Madras. Heppner. after downing En terprise here earlier, 62 to 39. probably expected a tougher came at Enterprise but ramb led through the Savages for a 73-46 win after the Enterprise quint had beaten Wahtonka the night before, 80 to 74. League statistics released pri or to the February 3 and 4 games showed Heppner topping both offense and defense, with a total of 351 points scored In six games, averaging 58.5 points comesi. epponents scored or an average of 45.2. hhermun was second In each department, scoring 349 uolnts averaging 58.2.

Purpose of Raise J In Game Licenses By REP. IRV1N MANN, JR. The House Klsh and Game Committee last week heard the Game Commission request general raise In fishing and hunting licenses. The resident fishing license would be raised from $1 to $ti and the resident hunting license would be raised from 4 to $5. This would raise the commis sion Income 33 million dollars In the second hlennlum. It would change the balance of Income and revenue so that fish license revenue would be 481 and fishing expenditures would be M't of the budget, and the game license Income would he 52't of the Income and the ex penditures would be 47 of the budget, What would thev do with the money? Thev would embark on: an ambitious program of land owner service patrolling anil augmenting programs to pro-i tect landowners from, abuse of ; hunting privileges. Thev would; expand tnelr winter range lm- ; provement program. They would j double their game bird propa. ; gallon program from 2O.HO0 pheasants year to 40,000 a j year In the area of fishery, they , would repair and rehabilitate their butcheries, and thev would devote In execs of S7iX).0i0 bl- enntallv to planning and con- ; strutting public fishing lm- j poundtnont such as the Jubilee project will be. The Jubilee pro- , ject does not depend on this li cense Increase, however. The commission has designat ed 19 Impoundments that will ' get priority and these 19 In-; dude Ditch ("reek and Swale Creek in Morrow county; Flood Meadows, Howard Meadows and Meadow Brook In Grant Coun ly; and Target Meadows In Umatilla County.
