Revised Mill City
Maps Available
A revision of the city maps
of eleven Oregon communities
has just been completed by the
state highway division In co­
operation with the federal
highway administration, it was
announced by F. B. Klaboe,
administrator of highways and
state highway engineer.
The communities affected
are Bandon, Brownsville, Can­
yon City, Cascade Locks, Esta­
cada, Lyons, Merrill, Metolius,
Mill City, Monmouth and
Prineville.
These maps are drawn to a
scale of 800 feet to the inch
,
and are plotted on a 17-inch
by 19 inch sheet. They sell for
30 cents per sheet. Reductions
of these sheets to size 8 %-inch
by 11-inch, at a scale of 1,600
feet to the inch, are available
at 10 cents per sheet.
The cost of a map of a par­
ticular city may be determined
by multiplying the number of
sheets indicated for that city
by either 30 cents or 10 cents,
depending on the size of the
map desired. All the commun­
ities listed are single sheet
maps.

The Santiam Wolverines be­
gan their 1973 basketball sea­
son by defeating Jefferson
29-21 in their game in the Tri­
River Conference Jamboree
held at Regis Saturday, Dec.
1. The jamboree consisted of
three games, which were two
quarters each.
The leading scorers for
Santiam were Frank Bryant
with ten points, and David
Plotts with seven. Roger
Davidson and Matt DeMain
led Santiam in rebounding.
Coach Sanders said that the
strong point of Santiam's play
was the poise they showed in
running their offense.
The weaknesses of Santiam's
game was their defense, foul­
ing too much, and not taking
opening shots. Two Santiam
players fouled out, Roger Da­
vidson and Gary DeMain. Re­
bounding was also a weakness
of Santiam, as they were out
rebounded by the much taller
Jefferson team.
JV Basketball Team
Opens Season
Against Amity
The Santiam Wolverines JV
basketball team will open
their 1973-74 season here on
Dec. 4, against Amity.
The team consists of ten
players. They are Jack Loftin
and Jim Cline, juniors: David
Etzek, Rick Lady, Mike Mor­
gan, Maurie Richards, and
Jim Wright, sophomores: Don
More and Jerry Payseno;
freshmen. The starting team,
announced by Coach Snider,
is David Etzel, center; Rick
Lady and Mike Morgen, for­
wards; Jim Wright, Maurie
Richards and Jim Cline will
alternate at the two guard
positions. Jim Wright and
Mike Morgan will also play
cn the varsity team and will
be available for only limited
action on the JV team.
Coach Snider will stress de­
fense this season, trying to
hold opposing teams to 45 or
less points a game.
One weakness of this years
team will be their lack of
height in the forwards. Coach
Snider said that these short
forwards will have to be very
agresslve to compete with the
taller players of the other
teams for the rebounds.
On offense this year, the
JV’s will run a ball control
type of offense which will help
Santiam to stay in the games.
The stronger teams in the Tri­
River Conference should be
