BASKETBALL This season has proved to be rather topsy-turvy for the Malin Mustangs. First, the jamboree was held at Malin this year with Henley, Merrill, Bonanza, Tulc- lakc and Malin participating. Malin walked off as the winner of the two-night affair. Malin placed fourth in the county league, second in the tournament, and third in the district. 54 Hcnlcv . 50 34 Merrill .28 63 Wildcats 37 61 Gilchrist 36 Malin 33 Tulclakc 39 41 Merrill 33 45 39 46 Sacred Heart 63 55 . 60 51 39 60 21 43 64 52 Bonanza 23 49 Merrill 50 43 Sacred Heart 64 52 Bly 34 37 Bly 28 45 39 TOURNAMENT 51 Blv 36 38 Sacred Heart 35 Malin 27 Chiloquin .... 45 BASEBALL Last, but not least, of the 4 trophies the Mustangs brought home last year was in baseball. Malin won all of their games in the county league, then went on to beat Talent in the district. The next game in the inter- district play-off was with Cascade Locks. This win put Malin in the four-team play-off for the State Championship at Drain. Malin lost its first game to Boardman and was defeated again the second night by Creswell. The Mustangs finally wound up as the fourth best. Class B, team in Oregon. Six players graduated last spring, but we have good prospects for this year’s team. The first-stringers back arc: Jerry Macken, Andy Travis and George Evans. 11 Bly 0 3 Chiloquin 0 . 7 Merrill 1 7 Tulelake .... 1 4 Bonanza ... 0 6 Sacred Heart 3 7 Talent 1 Malin 1 Cascade Locks 0 18 Tulclakc 7 Boardman 6 Malin 0 Creswell 7 38

FOOTBALL TRACK The Malin football team had a very good season this year. They were county co-champions with Merrill, having been beaten only by Merrill. No other team was able to score against the Mustangs for the entire season. Two bad injuries occurred during the season. Andy Travis broke his arm in the Chiloquin game and Rod Ottoman broke his ankle in the Sacred Heart game. The championship this year put Matin’s name on the traveling trophy for the third time. Automatically the cup will remain permanently in our trophy ease. Graduation will take the following players: Jerry Macken, Eddie McAuliffe, Ron Bunnell, Clark Unruh, and Andy Travis. The scoring this year went as follows: Malin 20 o 6 o Malin 13 Merrill 26 Malin 31 Sacred Heart .... 0 Malin 19 K. U. Wildcats 0 Malin 40 Bonanza 0 The 1952 track team from Malin had a very suc- cessful season. Our team took county championship. Bob Micka played an important part in this meet by winning both the mile run and the half-mile run. Others who took first places were: Stuart Henzel, Rodney Lyon, Dale Fenters, Ron Bunnell and Wayne Rick. We also won the half-mile relay. Dale Fenters, Pat Madden, Stuart Henzel and Rod Ottoman made up the relay team. In the district meet Malin made a good showing with the following results: Bob Micka, first Half Mile Andy Travis, first Mile Stuart Henzel, first 440 Rod Lyon, Dale Fenters, tic first Pole Vault Rod Ottoman, second Broad Jump This score put Malin up as a close second to Rogue River for the district title, but due to other engage- ments none of the boys went to the state meet. Prospects arc good for this year’s team with Stuart Henzel, Andy Travis, Rodney Lyon, Ron Bunnell, Pat Madden, Clark Unruh and Lavon Travis back again this year. TRACK FIRST ROW. left to riftht: P.
