Taking advantage of scoring op
portunities on three occasions
Heppner high's football warriors
put across as many touchdowns and
converted the extra point on two of
them, to defeat the heavier visiting
Athena high team, 20-0, on Rodeo
field Saturday afternoon, the first
defeat sustained by the Athenans
this season.
Heppner scored first In the sec
ond quarter when Curtis Thomson
took Roy Gentry's short pass over
the left side of the line from short
ly behind the 20-yard line and
raced the few remaining steps over
the goal line. Jimmy Furlong
bucked the ball across for the extra
point.
Again in the third quarter, after
the ball had been worked deep into
Athena territory by a succession of
line bucks and end runs in which
each of the backfield men made
good gains, Thomson, on a delayed
reverse buck, stepped off ten yards
for another touchdown. The try for
extra point failed and the score was
13-0.
Intercepts Pass.
Then late in the fourth quarter
when Athena attempted a pass
deep in their own territory as a fin
al scoring effort, Jimmy Furlong,
running at top speed, grabbed the
ball and raced twenty, yards to the
goal. He again bucked the ball
across for the extra point, and the 1
final score of 20-0.
But Heppner had to fight every
inch of their way to the victory. In
the first quarter an Athena score
seemed almost inevitable as they
took the ball clear to the Heppner
ten yard marker on a succession of
sweeping end runs and line bucks.
At this point the Heppner line stif
fened and held them for downs.
And on several occasions it looked
like "Speed" Jenkins, Athena safety,
was away for a touchdown on beau
tiful returns of Heppner punts, to
give the spectators the prettiest.ex
hibition of broken field running of
the game. Twice he was stopped
only by Gentry, Heppner safety, af
ter evading all other Heppner tack
lers. Both teams fought hard and
clean. The few penalties called be
ing for off-side plays or two incom
pleted passes in the same series of
downs. Edwin Ingles of Lexing
ton refereed, Gay M. Anderson was
umpire and Harold Buhman head
linesman.
Hard Game Saturday.
Next Saturday Coach Mabee's
boys go to Pendleton to play what
is considered the toughest game of
the season against the Pendleton
high aggregation. Having a much
larger school to draw from, Pendle
ton always has a heavy team and
lots of reserves. They got a Jolt
last year When they came to Hepp
ner and were able to win only by a
slight margin. Though the local
boys have gone through three tough
games in the last three weeks, they
are ready to extend themselves
against Pendleton and hope to re
turn with a bunch of "Buck" scalps.
The following Friday the boys
will meet Hermiston on the local
gridiron. This is another game
that promises to be fraught with
peril, as Hermiston last week de
feated the Pilot Rock team that the
week before trounced Hepnper, 12-0.
Heppner gets a chance to retaliate
this defeat when the boys go back
to Pilot Rock to play on the 28th.
The next Friday, November 4, they
play at home again, meeting lone
who so far have had a successful
season. The wind-up game of the
season will be played at Hermiston
on the 11th, Armistice day, an an
nual classlo that always makes a
strong bid for spectator interest.
The line-up against Athena: Wrex
Langdon, Claire Phelan, ends; Don
Cowdrey, Harold Ayers, tackles;
Ted McMurdo, Reese Burkenblne,
guards; Lyle Cowdrey, center; Billy
Schwarz, quarterback; Roy Gentry,

G. A. Bleakman opened the dis
cussion of the six percent tax lim
itation amendment, giving the bal
lot title as follows: "Six Per Cent
Tax Limitation Amendment: Pur
pose To amend the constitution so
as to limit the amouit of tax that
may be levied in any year by the
state, or any county, municipality,
or district to not more than the to
tal amount levied in any one year
of the three years immediately pre
ceding, plus six per centum there
of, except for the payment of bond
ed indebtedness and interest there
on, Instead of such limitation being
oasea upon the levy for the last
year immediately preceding as now
provided by the constitution, the
same change to be applicable to
newly created taxing districts."
Would Help Tax Bodies.
Mr. Bleakman, as well as all oth
er speakers, looked upon the
amendment as being good. Mr.
Bleakman cited from his experience
as county commissioner times when
the present limitation clause put
the county in a hole. The amend
ment, it was said, would make the
matter of either raising or lower
ing taxes more flexible, as a budget
committee at times like the pres
ent could curtail expenditures
greatly without affecting the basa
for the next year, so that should
times justify more than a six per
cent Increase the next year, a spec
ial election would not have to be
resorted to, but a previous year of
higher expenditure could be used
as a base for computing the levy.
