Basketball Even though its season wasn't as victorious as the previous one, the Mounties spirited upset wins from Cen- tral Washington, defending national runner-up, and from Whitworth, an EvCo standout. The EOCers also tripped California State at Hayward and Southern Oregon during the Rogue River Tournament in Medford, giving them a title there. Tom Templeton, a 6-'7 junior from Hermiston, led EOC scorers and ended the season with 15. 5 points for each game. He also pulled down the No. 2 rebounding spot, with 213 to his credit. Gail Enright, a 6-8 senior from Monument, earned the top rebounding place, with 232. Emory Moore of La Grande was sec- ond-high scorer, chalking a 13.4 aver- age. Clarence Cowapoo of Pendleton, called C1ancy by his fans, averaged 11. 7. The leader in assists was Elmer Stone, a senior from La Grande. He totalled 81. Cowapoo had 79. For the usual line-up, Cowapoo and Stone played at guards, Moore at high postg Enright, low post, and Templeton, forward.
