K Dean Speakers at Farm Bureau SENIORS PLAY FINAL TILTS The Hermiston high school Bulldogs took the quickest way home from the annual district playoff with Mac Hi and Pendle ton by losing their first two starts. Tuesday night Coach Dav ison’s warriors ran into a Mac Hi hurricane which could not be stopped. The visitors, who were playing without their regular coach, Dan Melinkovich, who was in Portland taking a preinduction physical, apparently were keyed up for a win. The Bulldogs bow ed out of the playoff Wednesday night by losing to a stronger county seat team. A capacity crowd saw a fine game here Tuesday night. With both teams rather cautious, the first quarter was carefully play ed. Two beautiful field goals by Frank Harkenrider kept the Bull dogs within shooting distance of the visitors, each one of whom scored a field goal in that quar ter. The visitors gained two more points in the second frame with the locals having considerable difficulty in finding the basket. Time after time close in shots rolled in and out. In the mean time, the visitors were playing heads up ball, making baskets count when opportunities came. Mac Hi led at half time 27 to 14. The third frame proved the final undoing for the locals when everything seemed to go wrong. Although playing at top speed, the locals could not hit for points. Harkenrider and Wilcox, in par- ticular, were all over the court. Grimes, long shot artist, and Cheever, southpaw speedster, were the big guns in the Mac HI attack. The final score was 37 to 26. Wednesday night the Pendle ton Bucke roos wrote a finish to Bulldog participation by taking a 43 to 28 game from the Bull dogs. The county seat lads were in the lead throughout but did not pull out in the lead until late in the contest. Bill Schoonover, high point man of the evening, finished his high school career in a blaze of glory. He played his heart out all evening, scoring 13 points in addition to playing an excellent floor game. Glen Wilcox, depen dable senior guard, played his usual fine game, with fine help from Harkenrider, Dick Belt, Pierson and Keller. Hermiston kept right on the heels of Pendleton for three quar ters but could not match the smooth working Nixon-coached lads who played fine ball through out. The scores follow: Hermiston 26 37 Mac Hi Schoonover 6 4 Aichele Keller 2 12 Grimes D. Belt 5 C 6 Sektnan Wilcox 5 G 13 Cheever Harken rider 8 G 2 Stephens Subs: Hermiston—Matott, J.
