Mustangs Drop Two Games
The Heppner high school Mustangs
met defeat in both of the two games
they played last week end. Jour
neying to Arlington Friday night,
they were set back 37 to 24 by the
Arlington Honkers. Returning from
Arlington they met defeat Saturday
night at the hands of the fast
breaking Hermiston quintet by a 33
to 22 score.
Decidedly off form, the Mustang
hoopsters have been unable since the
game with Mac-Hi to hit the stride
shown by them earlier in the season.
The inability of the Mustangs to hit
the basket, in contrast to the sharp
shooting of the Arlington and Her
miston teams, accounts in a large
measure for the two losses.
The loss of an important team
member at the end of the first se
mester broke up the heretofore win
ning combination that had been
playing, but with several game's ex
perience behind him, the player re
placing him is quite capable of fill
ing his shoes creditably. The Mus
tangs should therefore be in top
form for the games this week end
with Condon and The Dalles. The
Mustangs play Condon here Friday
and journey to The Dalles Saturday.
The lineup for the games was as
follows: Heppner 24, Gilman f (9),
Cox f (2), Van Marter c (6), Mun
kers g (2), Hoskins g (3), Coxen s
(2). Arlington, 37, Harford f, Baker
f (6) Rice c (10) Bowman g (2),
Wetherill g (11), McMullen s (6).
Heppner 22, Gilman f (8), Cox f
(2), Van Marter c (7), Munkers g,
Hoskins g, Coxen s (5), Stone s. Her
miston 33, Keller f (11), Rankin f
(10), Crampton c (8), Mackin g (2),
Knapp g (2), Shaw s, Rainwater s.
Referee, Jim Furlong, Heppner.

PUZZLE
Together with the correct solution
to this puzzle, send in the end of a!
used pickle and you will receive a
free trip to Bermuda. Answer will
be next week.
A boy was running away with a
watermelon that he had stolen from
a farmer's melon patch. He had
gotten over a stone wall and was
crossing a pond that was frozen over,
when the farmer came out, took aim,
and shot the boy, who dropped to
the ice and went through it. When
he was fished out, he was dead. It
could not be ascertained whether his
death was caused by drowning or by
the bullet. Could the farmer be con
victed of murder?

Send-off for Arlington Game
A pep assembly was called last
Friday for the purpose of sending
the basketball team to Arlington in
good spirits. A few songs anJ yells
were given for the occasion.
Mr. Peavy told some of the duties
of the timekeeper at basketball
games.
Donations were made by the stu
dents to the Red Cross for the pur
pose of helping those in the flood
stricken area. The hat was passed
around by Gerald Roberts. The total
of the collection was $4.19.

10 Years Ago This Week
From the Heppnerian.
The Lexington quintet defeated
the Heppner boys in a fast game of
basketball last Friday night on their
home floor. Both teams played a
defensive game, as shown by the
low score of 7 to 6. Score at the
quater stood 3-0 in favor of Lexing
ton; 3-0 at the half, 5-5 at the third
period, and 7-6, final score.
The local high school basketball
team defeated the Hardman town
team, 4-2.
Debates are well on the way now.
Two will be given this week. The
senior team, composed of Orrin Bis
bee, Marjorie Clark and Mary Rit
chie, will meet the junior team, Mar
vin Gabbell, Claud Conder and Rob
ert Turner, on the question: Re
solved, That the American cabinet
system is operating unsuccessfully.

Spring Fever
Here it is the very first week of
February and as far as you can see,
there isn't a sign of "spring fever"
yet. This is an outstanding record
for any high school, because that is
the first excuse the students can
think of for not having their work
in on time. Spring fever doesn't just
attack the weak individuals, but it
hits everyone, right in the same spot.
But don't get excited, students, be
cause you won't have very long to
wait, as you can easily see by the
change in temperature.

F. F. A. Smoker
The local chapter of the Future
Farmers of America held it's regu
lar weekly meeting last Friday for
the purpose of appointing committees
for the smoker that is to be held
February 12. The following com
mittees were appointed: Food, Fred
Hoskins, Andy Davidson, Leland Ed
mondson; clean-up, Bill Browning,
Arthur Vance, Jesse Tinsley, Hu
bert Hudson; admission, Marvin
Casebeer, Emmett Kenny.
The Condon smoker was success
ful because of splendid support from
the town people. The only way this
smoker can be a financial success is
to have everyone behind it. The
Heppner boys beat Condon in their
own ring, so with plenty of support,
there is no reason why the local
boys cannot beat them here.

They Don't Like Our Music
The following is an article taken
from the editorial page of the Ar
lington Bulletin which should be of
interest to all high school students
the much-lamented younger gener
ation. "A tobacco company that buys
time on the radio is conducting a
contest to find out the most popular
songs. Most all of the votes cast are
for popular songs of today, and evi
dently the younger generation are
the only ones who are sending in
any votes.
"How anyone can believe that the
new songs are superior to those of
days gone by is beyond us. In our
opinion the songs of today would be
all right for a cat concert or a dog
howling contest, but for music! No,
indeed
"When the song writers of old pro
duced a song, there was some senti
ment to the words, and the tune had
some resemblance of music. Com
pare 'After the Ball' with 'The Mu
sic Goes Round and Round,' and
'School Days' to Tve Got You Un
of the new songs sound as though
of the nwe songs sound as though
they came from the bughouse, and
when you hear the music and words
you are further convinced this is the
case.
We may be old fashioned, be that
as it may, but give us the songs ot
our fathers and mothers in prefer
ence to the butchery and parody on
music they sing and play today."
What do we, the younger genera
tion, think of this?
LEGISLATIVE
HIGHLIGHTS
By A. L. LINDBECK.
Salem. Attention of the legisla
ture was directed by Governor Mar
tin this week, in a message to the
senate, to the gross inequalities of
prison sentences meted out under
the present system and to the inade
quacy of the state's parole system.
Prisoners convicted of almost iden
tical crimes, the governor pointed
out, are serving terms ranging from
one year in some cases to 20 years
in others. The governor recom
mended centralization of authority
for fixing prison sentences in a board
in order to overcome this condition
which he declared created a bad sit
uation. Any doubt in the public mind as
to the attitude of the Grange toward
the anti-strike legislation now be
fore the session was set at rest by
the statement issued by the Grange
Executive committee ' in opposition
to the measures. The Grange lead
ers see in the proposed anti-strike
bills not only a slap at organized la
bor but also the entering wedge tow
ard governmental authority which
might in time work to the detriment
of organized agriculture.
The House voted 44 to 15 to abol
ish the job of director of marketing
research now held by Dr. W. J. Kerr,
former chancellor of the state sys
tem of higher education. Many are
predicting that the senate will also
pass the bill although not by any
such a wide margin.
Senator Ross of Washington coun
ty wants to equip all automobiles
and trucks with governors set for a
maximum speed of 60 miles an hour.
When is a frog a fish? When the
legislature so decrees. A bill now
before the senate declares bull frogs
to be game fish and would require
that persons seeking to ensnare the
croaking hoppers first equip them
selves with a fishing license. The
bill is sponsored by the game com
mittee. Representative Ernie Fatland of
Gilliam county thinks that money
paid by motorists for their drivers'
licenses should be earmarked for
safety campaign purposes and not
used for highway construction and
maintenance. He is working on a
measure which will so provide.
Oregon will out-Reno Reno if
measures now before the senate are
approved. Residence requirements
on the part of divorce seekers would
be reduced to 30 days and remar
riage would be permitted immediate
ly after the knot was severed.
The public hearing on the Clark
bill to close all coast streams except
the Columbia river, to commercial
fishing, attracted the usual large
crowds. The sportsmen, who insist
on being referred to as conservation-,
ists, were all for the bill as the only
solution to the rapid depletion of the
salmon supply while the commercial
fishermen were just as strongly op
posed to the measure which, they
insisted, would not work as expect
ed. The House knocked off work Fri
day afternoon so that a new boiler
could be installed in the armory
heating plant before the old one blew
up. The Senate, warm and snug in
the Marion hotel dining room, held
over until Saturday morning.
The bill providing an increase in
the counties' share of the gasoline
taxes has made its appearance at
last. It increases the county money
to $2,000,000 a year. That would in
crease the allocation to each county
by 25 percent over the present
amount.
After passing the lieutenant-governor
resolution by a vote of 32 to
25 the House defeated an attempt to
reconsider the vote and sent the
measure over to the senate. If that
body puts its okeh on the resolution
the voters of Oregon will again have
a chance to express their opinion on
the issue for the fifth time in 25
years.
Representative Bennett, Newberg
attorney, serving his first term in
the legislature, commutes between
his home and the capital city every
day.
