MPTA AE . d im . :a TECHNICAL SCORE GIVES LEX VICTORY Technically, Lexington won Sun day's football game from the locals by the score of 10-3, when the two town teams clashed on Rodeo field, though actually the score was a 3-3 tie. The technicality came at the end of the game. Hcppner punted to her opponents just as the gun was fired for the finish. The ball rolled across the opponent's goal line, and the Heppner players, thinking the game was over, trotted off the field. , Bus ter Gentry, Lex safety, thought the play should be finished, however, and ran to the opposite end for a touch down. Goal was kicked, adding the extra point. Both teams had previously scored three points on drop-kicks, two of the prettiest kicks seen on the local grid in many a day. "Louie" Allyn booted the pigskin across the bars for the locals, and Vester Lane turned the trick for the visitors. With the addition of much "beef" on both sides, the teams appeared n.ore formidable, than did the lighter crews in the game the previous week on the Lexington field. Though pret ty much of a punter's battle most of the time, in which Gentry and Lane featured for Lex, and Allyn and Aiken for Heppner, there were occasions of considerable brilliance. Lexington completed a few passes, and Gentry did some pretty broken field running, along with a spectacular end run by Parker. Heppner probably outshone in the ground-gaining department, however, when she took the ball near, ly the full length of the field twice in the second half, mostly via the pass route Aiken to Allyn and vice versa. Some good bucks by these two and Stout and Adkins were mixed in. Jack Hynd, Pendleton high school player with Heppner for the game, was the outstanding man on defense, .lack repeatedly broke through the opponents' line and made some beau tiful tackles.

Mr. Slo cum was a victim of paralysis, hav ing suffered a stroke shortly after 4 o clock on Sunday evening, and at about ten this was followed by an other from which he became uncon scious and did not rally, his death coming at about ten o'clock- Monday morning. Few people here were aware of his condition until the announcement was made of his demise, and the friends here were shocked by the news. Be ing suddenly stricken as he was the family of Mr. Slocum were greatly shocked. He had suffered his first stroke about two years ago and was quite ill as a result for some time. In fact he had never fully recovered from that experience, but lately he had appeared better than ever, and was especially well on Saturday and Sunday, giving no evidence of the approach of another attack. Funeral services were held at Ma sonic hall in Heppner on Tuesday af ternoon at 2:30 under the auspices of Heppner Lodge No. 69, of which the deceased was a member.

George Elmer Slocum was born in Susquehanna county, Penn., July 21, 1867, and died at Lexington, Oregon, November 1, 1926, aged 69 years, 3 months and 11 days. At the age of 21 he arrived at Heppner and since that time has made his home here and at Lexington. For the past 11 years he has been agent of the O.-W. R. & N. Co. at Lexington. He was married in 1881 to Katie Morgan of Heppner, and to this union seven children were born, all of whom, with the widow, survive him, as well as eight grand children.

WALL STREET is as sensitive as Sweet Alice in the old song. She would "smile with delight when you gave her a smile, and tremble with fear at a frown." The frown that startles the specu lators now is Europe's suggestion that tariffs be wiped out.

In a head-on collision one man turned suddenly from behind a truck, put on the brakes and skidded into a car coming from the opposite di rection. Four were killed and all the fourteen occupants of two cars hurt. Speed should be limited strictly on the public highways, if necessary, by a mechanical appliance on every car. And reckless driving resulting in death should be punished as man slaughter. P. T. A. MEETS NEXT TUESDAY.
