Hoop Shoot
from p. 1
From this final group, one
boy and one girl emerge as
nalional champions in each of
the three age categories. The
winners receive trophies, and
their names are Inscribed on a
special plaque in the Naismith
Memorial Basketball Hall of
Fame In Springfield, Mass.
The Elks Hoop Shoot is the
country's largest free throw
shooting contest for young
sters. It is also the largest and
most visible of the many youth
activities sponsored by the
Elks and has served to high
light the Elks' national com
mitment to youth.
The program began as a
local Elks activity for young
boys in Corvallis in 1946. With
in 12 years, support for the
event had grown enough for
the Elks Oregon State Asso
ciation to take it to the state
level, And In 1972, the "Elks
Hoop Shoot" was expanded to
Include contestants from 19
states. By 1974, girls were
added to the competition, and
the program has continued to
grow ever since.
The competition to become
a champion is rugged but
rewarding. At each level, con
testants take a total of 25 free
throws. National finalists
have averaged around W per
cent accuracy in recent years.
Families of finalists on the
state, regional and national
levels attend the competition
as guests of the Elks, and are
encouraged to play an active
part throughout the contest.
One girl from IGrande has
gone to the national finals two
times, winning all the marbles
one year and she came in
second the next year. It is
possible for anyone to win,
Swanson said.
"Please come to lone or
Heppner January 22 from 9 to
II a m and watch our young
people compete." Swanson
said. For more information,

When the bird hit the floor
for the first quarter play

usual enthusiasm during pre
game warm-ups. The Honkers
didn't help much as they came
out fired up and outscored the
Cards 12 - 6. The Cardinals

In the second period, the
Cardinals lifted their spirits
and made a comeback behind
Tim Patton's eiRht second
quarter points. Patton also led
the Cardinals in total game
points and rebounds with 27
points and 16 rebounds for the
night. The Cardinals upped
their points to 24; the Honkers
only added six to make the

came out of the locker room
and took the floor looking at a
narrow six point lead. Don
Taylor added six of his game
total eight points to bring the
Cardinals lead to nine. Tim
Patton also dumped in four for
the birds as lone was in
command. 36 - 27.
In the fourth quarter, the
Cards again brought their lead
upward as thev ended the
game ended with Arlington
ahead in points 48 - 33. but the
lone team gave it their all. as
usual.
In the first quarter of play,
the Cardinals were over
whelmed by the Honkers.
They couldn't control Byron
Holt, who collected 14 points in
the only quarter of the game in
which he played. The Honkers
took charge of the game with a
lead of eight ; 17 9 at the end
of the period.
The J.V.s of lone were again
out scored by Arlington but

In the third quarter. Randy
McCabe and Darrin Padberg
tied the Honkers for lone as
McCabe collected eight of his
nine points and Padberg
racked up all six of his points

The fourth quarter was a
disappointment for the Cardi
nals as no one scored. The
Honkers, however, took ad
vantage of the situation and
collected 15 points and won the
game, 48 33. Coach David
Sime commented "We had a
really good third quarter, we
came back. We had a really
disappointing fourth quarter
but were playing timidly be
cause of fouls. We did learn a
lot though."
