. Bicycles on the Bridge
Screech ! ! ! "Hey, you get out of
the way!" These are familiar sounds
to people walking down the side
walk below the gym during the noon
hour. The kids with bicycles seem
to try their hardest to see who can
beat the others to Main street in the
shortest length of time. This causes
many thrills and spills during the
course of the semester. If the cyclists
would take the highway down by
the courthouse to get home, they
would make as good time, besides
making it easier on the pedestrians.
Something should be done before
someone is injured on the bridge.

Stores Cooperate
Last Friday saw the largest turn
out to a local football game in years.
This large turnout was mostly due to
the splendid cooperation of the stores
which closed their doors during the
hours of the game. The students of
Heppner high school wish to express
their appreciation for this cooper
ation and sincerely hope it will con
tinue for future Friday games.

gram prceding the play.

PINTO POINTS
Before last Friday's slightly one
sided Touchet game,, which was
Heppners first inter-state tilt in
many years, there was considerable
controversy concerning the Wash
ington team. The atmosphere was
heavily laden with rumors that their
team would outweigh the bulky
Mustangs, that they were as big and
tough as they come, and their team
was composed of first-class veter
ans. The true side of it was that ev
eryone knew everything but the
whole truth, so help them. However,
their arrival in Heppner on the af
ternoon of the battle revealed some
very startling information. Their
team had as its "veterans" only five
lettermen; the average weight was
several nounds lighter than their
host; and most surprising, their trav
eling squad consisted of a coach,
athletic manager, and exactly twelve
players! Upon seeing that a single
substitute, with the exception of the
manager, was the only one to aid in
maintaining the high spirit of the
coach, all spectators immediately be
gan sympathizing and predicting the
probable forthcoming disastrous re
suits to the only "one -substitute"
team ever to face Heppner. During
the course of the following game,
nary a player was taken from the
rde-shirted Touchet line-up, al
though several times the prevailing
situation, made it seem the wise thing
to do. An "iron-man" team in every
respect; our hats are off to you,
Touchet!
The uncertainty of Heppner's
foitball schedule resulted in the
Mustang's first two games, which
covered the same number of weeks,
being played with the highly pub
licized Condon team. Last year, an
almost identical situation was prev
alent except that the period of time
between games was considerably
shorter and a different school con
stituted the second party. After two
early season tilts, the locals' follow
ing four games were played in as
many weeks, but in this number of
meets, Heppner had met only two
teams, one of them twice in a week's
time. Realizing that such repetition
limits gate receipts, and also keep
ing in mind that to the average foot
ball spectator "variety is the spice
of life," several schools of the sur
rounding territory have scheduled
games in which no team is played
twice in a season, and certainly not
in successive weeks. This year, Her
miston has taken on teams new to
its former schdules, with Arlington
doing the same, forgetting that a
matter of some distance separates
them from new competition. The
game with Touchet was the first
recent foreign one to the Mustang
gridiron menu, and in the hopes of
local fans, surely not the last.
Curfew chatter . . . It, looks as
though Heppner has reached the
long-awaited big-time football, with
new line-markers adorning the field,
an invaluable loud-speaker system,
and large crowds again attending
the games. For a while last week, it
looked as though the Friday's fray
would be played minus one of the
requisites of such a melee, namely
a football . . . two days prior to
scheduled kick-off the new football
which had been purchased for the
game, came up missing . . . however
an extended search brought forth the
necessary semi-circular air-inflated
piece of leather. Lexington's two
scheduled games of six-man foot
ball with Boardman are now a thing
of the deep, dark past . . . the Yel
low Jackets, for some unknown rea
son, have dispensed with that sport,
and in all probability will start prac
tice of the popular indoor sport in
which they always excell, basketball
. . . this Saturday, as a feature event
of the annual Pioneers' Reunion at
Lexington, the Jack Rabbits will
meet the river team from Umatilla
. . . the game is called for 10 a. mj.
The repeated interception of Tou-
chet's passes by Richard Hayes,
Mustang center, spilled their scor
ing dope-bucket several times . .
on one interception, he displayed a
side-stepping stride that makes him
also a possible shifty backfield man.
Riley Munkers, who dropped the ra
dio engineering course which he was
taking at Oregon Institute of Tech
nology in Portland, received a write
up in that school's paper, the Tech'
O-Gram, the contents of which very
few Heppner fans are familiar
to quote the article, "The boy who
gon game was Munkers, a little 140 1
pound speedwagon from Heppner,
It is on this shifty little gent that
Coach Biancone is pinning his
hopes." It was an eastern Oregon boy
who played the outstanding game
at Walla Walla last Friday night, but
it happened that he was playing for
a smaller western Oregon institu
tion, Pacific University, which wal
loped the history-famous Whitman
college 24 to 7 ... a headache to the
Whitman Misionaries, Len Gilman,
three years the star of Heppner ath
letic teams, climaxed the game , with
the return of a Whitman punt 65
yards to a touchdown.
