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.
