Sportsmanship
What is sportsmanship? If you
had been at the game at The Dalles
Saturday night, you would have got
ten an idea as to what good sports
man ship is really like. It doesn't
mean merely good sportsmanship on
the part of the team, but also on the
part of the student body.
If an outsider can't tell which is
the home team, there is no doubt
that good sportsmanship exists. At
the game Saturday there was not a
single boo during the whole game;
the gym had the same ring to it when
Heppner made a basket as when The
Dalles made one.
. This is not only good for the school
but it aids the teams that are play
ing and makes a much better game
to watch. If the students would
strive to give the opposing team a
boost, it would better the school as
well as the team. But there is al
ways some one who thinks it is
great fun to boo the opposing team,
but trade places with your own
team-mates and then see how . you
feel! It even injures your own team
to boo the opposing team.
Let's have one motto, "GOOD
SPORTSMANSHIP."
By Riley Munkers.

Comparison
In a recent issue of the Hehisch I
noticed an article taken from one of
our eastern Oregon newspapers ri
diculing our modern popular music."
It cited "The Music Goes Round and
Round" as sounding as though it
had come out of the bughouse. We
might reply that "Ta Ra Ra Boom
Te a" sounds as though it had or
iginated during an acute case of de
lirium tremens, and the words are
so idiotic that we can't even be sure
of the spelling. "When I Grow Too j
Old to Dream" eclipses "After the
Ball" for sentiment, and if we went
back into the songs of yesterday,
we could find just as many non
sensical songs, in comparison, as we
find today.
We still respect the old songs
which have come down to us, but
we try not to go back to pick out the
ones of which the older generation
might have been ashamed. So why
not overlook the "monstrosities" of
our music in the face of these facts
and let it go at that?

Warm Up Number Chosen
The band has chosen the "Stars
and Stripes" for their warm up num
ber for the state band contest this
year. The required number is the
"Festival Overture," but the selective
number has not been definitely se
lected. As soon as the weather warms up
the band should progress faster due
to extra practices and special classes
for different sections.
H.H.S.
Team on Winning Side Again
A short pep assembly was held
Friday afternoon for the purpose of
creating enthusiasm for the game
with Condon that night. Coach Tetz
and various members of the team
gave short talks commending the
support of the student body, which
remained intact in spite of several
defeats. From the showing which
Heppner made at The Dalles and
Lexington, we believe the "losing
streak" is over and that the team
will justify your confidence and sup
port in it.
-H.H.S.
10 Years Ago
One of the greatest events of the
year was holding of two debates be
tween the junior-senior and sophomore-freshman
debating teams.
The senior team was composed of
Orrin Bisbee, Marjorie Clark and
Mary Ritchie. The members of the
junior team were Marvin Gammell,
Bobby Turner and Claud Conder.
On the freshman team were Fletcher
Walker, Evelyn Swendig and Kath
erine Bisbee. The subject: Resolved,
That the Philippines should be giv
en their freedom within 5 years.
The Heppner basketball team
journeyed to lone where they played
the lone team, emerging victorious
with a score of 9-7.
H.H.S.
Guess Who?
He's a junior lad with a crop of red
hair.
When it comes to athletics he's al
ways "in there."
In the student activities he does his
share
We feel he's the answer to a maid
en's prayer;
For he's tall, intelligent yes, very
smart;
In the junior play he handles nicely
the leading part.
He's the type of a lad who is liked
by all.
If you say "Van," he will answer
your call.
H.H.S.

Heppner Wins Two Out of Three
Playing three games in four davs.
two of them on road trips and one
at home, the Heppner Mustangs
showed some of their lost form bv
garnering victories over Condon and
Lexington, and losing to The Dalles.
Meeting Condon in a home game.
the local quintet amassed 40 points
to their opponents' 22, running up
8 counters before Condon could
score.
In the second game, Heppner,
stepping into Class A competition,
journeyed to The Dalles and made
a very creditable showing, losing
il-O), after a second half rally fell
short by one point. Although The
Dalles Indians buried the toma
hawk, the Mustangs really showed
the material of which thev are made.
The Dalles having beaten the strong
Hood River team the previous night
by a score of 13 to 11.
Last Monday on Lexington's home
court, Heppner decisively defeated
the Jackrabbits by 23 to 7. Lexing
ton sank the first basket, but the
Mustangs quickly tied the score at
two all After about three minutes
of close checking, Heppner broke
loose and hooped five baskets before
the half ended, holding Lexington
to a lone field goal. The Mustangs
held their lead throughout the re
mainder of the game, never being
hard pressed by the scrappy Lex
ington hoopsters.

HUMOR
Have You Ever:
Wondered why Gerald Roberts
didn't feel so well Monday night?
(Tuesday morning, also.)
Wondered why so many students
use the humor column to get even?
Wondered why some students
can't mind their own business?
Heard of the Heppner City Click
ers? Heard the jokes that were cut out
of the junior play?
Wondered why Bethal Blake is
writing notes to Jackson? (What
will Riley say?)
Felt like killing the Humor edi
tors? Heard Fred Hoskins "bellow"
while playing in a basketball game?
(It must be his animal instincts.)
After the game at The Dalles last
Saturday night the basketball team
was enjoying a meal at one of the
downtown restaurants. It seems as
though some of The Dalles girls had
taken a shine to the Heppner play
ers and were waiting outside. The
Heppner players were kidding each
other about these girls when Len
Gilman spoke up and said, "I'm im
mune to things like that."
"Oh, you catch everything that
comes along," another team member
quickly replied.
"The only thing I ever catch is
'chicken pox'," Len retaliated.
Then the coach spoke up: "That's
the first time I've heard it called
that," he said.
Was Len's face red?
Emmett Kenny: "That new farm
hand of ours is terribly dumb."
Vernon Knowles: "How's that?"
Emmett: "He found some milk
bottles in the grass and insisted he
had found -a cow's nest."

Grade Team Wins Twice
In a game against the Lexington
grade school last Thursday, the local
grade school team was victorious by
an overwhelming score of 23-2.
As a thrilling preliminary to the
high school game Monday, the sev
enth grade cagers edged out the Lex
ington team by a score of 14-13. In
this game the Lexington "bunnies"
tied the score in the last minute, af
ter trailing by a wide margin, only
to lose after Aiken converted a foul
shot in the last few seconds of the
tilt.

Do You Know That
1. Southern engineers are now
using cotton in road building?
2. Wood ticks the kind you find
on your dog can live for three or
four years without food?
3. Scientists have revived animals
suffering from electric shock by giv
ing them a counter shock?
4. The foreign-born population of
the United States is more Italian
than any other nationality?
5. Bear and moose are increasing
in number instead of decreasing, as
is commonly supposed.
6. Wisconsin conservation workers
will plant a billion fish in- Wiscon
sin lakes and streams this year?
7. In Fairbanks, Alaska, baseball
is played at midnight under natural
light the perpetual light of the
northern summer?
8. Social leaders of America re
ceive more than a million dollars a
year for advertising testimonials?
The Vanderbilt name brings the
highest price.
9. Citizens of Boston pay more for
brown eggs than white, but New
Yorkers willingly pay more for
white? It s just a matter of local
prejudice.
10. Careful tests show that the
difference between break-neck speed
and careful driving, over the thirty
five miles to a neighboring city, pro
duces an average time saving of only
seven minutes?

Brain Tormenter
Answer to last week's puzzle:
Don't be foolish. There was no boy,
there was no gun, there was no wa
termelon or farmer. There wasn't
anything, because when watermelons
ripen, ponds are not frozen over- in
adjoining fields.
A mother worm, a father worm
and a baby worm lived happily in a
verdant field. One day a neighbor
told them that he had overheard the
farmer say that he was going to plow
up the field the following day. In
great consternation the worm family
packed and moved over the wall into
the next field, where they dug them
selves a hole and went to sleep. The
next morning, as is the habit among
worms as among mortals, the baby
worm got up first, crawled out of
the hole, looked around and saw
that their old field was really plowed
up. He said with great enthusiasm
and relief, "Gee, I'm glad we moved
over here, all five of us."
Explain why he said, "All five of
us."

PINTO-POINTS
Paul McCarty
Looks as if the local uintet has
regained some of its lost prestige . . .
or whatever you want to call it . . .
two victories in three games over the
week end . . . and The Dalles just
beat them by a measley free throw.
By the way, The Dalles Indians
nosed out Heppner one point and
Hood River by two points . . . fig
uratively speaking, that makes the
Mustangs one point stronger than
Hood River . . . but Hood River de
feated Mac-Hi three points and then
the Pioneers turn around and take
Heppner by 13 tallies ... so what?
Comparing our N. C. A. L. and
seasonal standings, the latter is more
impressive. Basketball rates as the
most popular inter-club and class
sport at Colorado Women's college
. . . seems to be almost vice-versa
among the local . feminine students.
The F. F. A. smoker promises to be
a donnybrook. Four members of
our faculty are alumni of Oregon
State and one of the university . . .
and as far as the Oregon-O. S. C,
basketball "civil war" is concerned,
our Oregon representative leads the
conversation when the five tutors get
together to confab. Surprise of the
week: Large representation of Hepp
ner students at the Lexington game.
Here it is February and still no men
tion of a swimming pool . . . how
about it, downtowners?
Remember how many times the
Hermiston hoopsters swished the net
on their last visit here? . . . wouldn't
disturb our record at all to reverse
that this coming Saturday.
