"Fighting Irish"
Feted by Lions;
Tetz Gives Talk
H. S. Pigskin Tossers
Make Good Record;..
O'Reilly Speaks.
Heppner's Fighting Irish football
squad, defeated but once in two
years and who made 162 points to
opponents' 39, with Henry Tetz,
coach, were feted at the Monday
Lions luncheon at Hotel Heppner.
For the occasion Mrs. H. O. Tenney,
hostess, had tables decorated in ap
propriate Thanksgiving motif.
Another guest was Father P. J.
O'Reilly, who in a short address
paid tribute to the objects of Lion
ism and said, "Your actions are the
roar of the Lion, king of jungle
beasts, and you need have no fear
of that roar being heard so long as
your objectives are in the interest
of the common welfare." Backing
his words with action, Father O'
Reilly presented the club with a
five-dollar bill to be used in fur
thering its welfare work.
A special entertainment attraction
was a tap dance by Mary Lou Fer
guson and Jacqueline Tetz, accom
panied at the piano by Mrs. Alden
Blankenship. Mrs. Tetz and Mrs.
Ferguson, mothers of the girls, were
also guests.
Coach Tetz expressed his appre
ciation for the club's entertainment
of the team, complimenting the
sportsmanship and gameness shown
by all members of the squad. He
was glad for the interest men of the
community take in high school ath
letics, urging its continuance and
enlargement as one of the greatest
contributing factors to their success.
He introduced members of the
squad individually, including the
following: Maurice Feeley, mana
ger; Bill Browning, Jackson Gilliam,
Art McAtee, tackles; Gerald Rob
erts, Vernon Knowles, Harold Arm
strong, John Hays, guards; Richard
Hayes, center; Emmett Kenny, Nor
ton King, Fred Hoskins, ends; Don
ald Frederickson, Don Turner, Capt.
Len Gilman, Bill McCaleb, Gerald
Cason, halfbacks; LaVerne Van
Marter, fullback; Riley Munkers,
quarterback. Of these all earned
letters this year but Turner and Hays.
Munkers is a three-year letterman;
Frederickson, Van Marter, Gilman,
McCaleb and King are two-year
lettermen, and the others earned
their first letter this year.
The only game lost in the two
years was that played here this year
with Arlington, 12-0. This defeat
was later retaliated at Arlington
when the locals won, 14-0. This rec
ord takes into account only games
played in the Upper Columbia Ath
letic league. Heppner lost the game
to Pendleton this year 37-0 and sus
tained injuries that crippled the team
in later games. Other scores this
year were: Fossil 0-40; Condon 6
12, Condon 0-30, and Hermiston 6-7.
Lion president Ray P. Kinne ex
pressed the club's appreciation for
the good showing the boys made in
football, and encouraged them to
repeat the record in basketball.

ments; Finds Offices
in Good Order.
Two not true bills and no true
bills were returned by the grand
jury for the December term of cir
cuit court which completed its la
bors Saturday and was discharged
by Judge C. L. Sweek. Commenda
lion was generally given of condi
tions surrounding the enforcement
of laws, and improvements made in
and about the court house. The
jury was in session three days, and
reported inquiring into all viola
tions of the criminal statutes of
which they had knowledge or which
were brought to their attention.
Serving on the jury were H. W.
Grim, foreman; Olney Saling, A. G.
Edmundson, Archie Bechdolt, W. W.
Kilcup, A. M. Baldwin and Marion
Palmer. They reported:
"We have returned no true bills
and two not true bills.
"We have examined the offices
connected with the administration
of justice and find the records well
kept and the officers in charge cour
teous and efficient.
"We have examined the jail and
desire to commend the County Court
for relocating the door to the jail so
the entrance can be made from the
outside, and we also view with favor
the plan of the County Court to have
a steel 'cage' constructed to protect
the entrace from the outside.
"We have examined the county
poor house and find it in very good
condition and the inmates comfort
able and contented. The appearance
outside could be improved by the
removal of the pile of tin cans near
the buildings. We commend the
plan of the County Court to con
nect the county water system with
the poor house so as to provide ade
quate fire protection.
"We commend the county court
for improvement of the court house
grounds, the new lawn in the park
back of the court house being es
pecially a thing of beauty.
"We note that the lighting in the
circuit court room is very trying
upon the eyes of persons sitting in
the court room when the lights are
turned on, and we recommend that
an improved system of lighting be
installed."
