Athletics Financial Success
Basketball season has been offi
cially opened in Heppner high. In the
opening game the team played in
new outfits purchased this year by
the student body.
So far in this school year athletics
have enjoyed financial success and
the excellent support of the towns
people. If throughout the basketball
season this same loyal support con
tinues, Heppner will have finished
a very successful year from a finan
cial standpoint.
The Upper Columbia league is di
vided into two groups, made up of
the smaller schools and the larger
schools. The teams in the "A" are
Arlington, Fossil, Heppner and Con
don. The winners in each leagui
will play for the championship.
H.H.S.
Practice Game With CCC
The basketball team played its
first game of the season, a pre-open
er practice game, with the local CCC
camp, last Friday evening. As indi
cated by the score, 19 to 38 in favor
of Heppner, it is evident that
promising future is in store for the
squad this coming season. Thougn
well based on fundamentals, there
are many rough spots to be polished
off, mostly with the aid of exper
ience. Van Marter proved himself
capable of holding down his repu
tation by a series of running shots
mainly responsible for the victory,
Aiken and Coxen, two promising
first stringers, took good care of the
ever necessary defensive end of the
game. All "subs" saw action, most
of whom are freshmen, stars of last
year's grade school team, who dis
play great possibilities of becoming
a future team to beat.

Five Years Ago The Home Econ

was started this week. . . Basketball
practice started Monday.
One Year Ago Heppner defeated
Echo in the first game of the season
on the local floor. . . It was decided
that the name of the team be changed
due to the lack of Irishmen in the
school. It will be picked later.

PINTO POINTS
The attention of local sports fans
will be diverted for a short time, ap
proximately three months, to the in
door sport of the maple court. Of!
course the name of that diversion is
quite familiar. Commonly known as
basketball, the object of the game is
to drop the circular ball through the
mesh net for a total score greater
than that of the opposing team,
whether it is done by straight' bas
ketball methods or by sleight-of-hand
work. As to who will emerge
on top of the newly formed league,
composed of Heppner, Arlington,
Fossil, and Condon, is a question the
answer to which anyone would give
a wooden nickel to rightfully and
correctly possess.
However, the "grapevine" tele
graph has a way of secretly dispens
ing inside news, and from the infor
mation gained through that usually
reliable source, Arlington is the team
to beat. Why? Because the Honker
town has on its squad, five return
ing veterans who composed the team
that reached the semi-finals in the
district tournament last spring. This
district, by the way, comprises more
territory than any in the state. Fos
sil has enough reporting lettermen
this year to more than form a for
midable quintet. The dopesters have
the Condon outlook figured as ques
tionable, the Gilliam county basket
ball ambassadors' chances having
been strengthened by the reporting
to practice of Don Jones, transfer
from the Grant Union quintet
John Day, which also reached the
semi-finals in the '37 meet. Figuring
the future of the local hoopsters is
task no one craves, including yours
truly. With Van Marter the only re
turning letter-earner, the prospects
of a successful second term will be
hampered by the possibility of his
ineligibility. The tenure of his po
sition at center hangs on the results
of the decision to be rendered in De
cember by the Tregon State High
School Athletic association.
To prove that girls participating in
SDorts become as mfunated and
aroused as do boys, the writer ques-
toined a feminine student of this
school who was formerly the same
of the lone institute of learning. As
center on the lone basketball team
that was playing the girls' squad
from Umatilla, she received or was
made the victim of an act rarely
seen or heard of on the basketball
court. The center opposing this local
student had fouled the then-lone
miss three times in rapid order while
trying to gain for herself a gift shot.
On the fourth time, which meant be
ing excused permanently from that
particular game, so tired was the
girl from the river town that she
let loose with a swing that hit the
lone center flush on the jaw, setting
her on the floor and putting
blinker on the lights as far as she
was concerned. And for several min
utes, the twirling stars twinkled
quite brightly.
Curfew chatter . . . The opening
game of the current basketball sea
son for the Mustangs, last Tuesday
night, placed the locals in the posi
tion of host to the lone hoopsters. .
the last time these two teams met,
Jim Driscoll, star Mustang player of
two years ago, set something of a
record as far as high scoring is con
cerned . . . this son of the school s
janitor went stark wild at the hoop
that night and ran up the amazing
total of 31 points, the entire Hepp
ner five scoring 47 tallies, which gave
Driscoll a very favorable percentage
of total points scored . . . this high
score of the aforementioned basket
bailer was also 8 more points than
the sum of the lone score. The smart
est boxer on last Wednesday's box
ing card was not a Yeljiw Jacket
from Boardman but a "Wild Irish
man" from Heppner . . . Jack Healy
proved himself to be the cleverest
fist flinger on the socking menu . . .
this son of Erin has a peculiar left
punch that swings almost entirely
from the elbow . . . when his op
ponent, who carried the name of Mc
Donald, split the atmosphere with a
round-house swing, Healy quickly
tepped inside the swing and let fly
with his elbow-swivel punch. Hepp
ner's "farmer boy" leather pushers
may have annexed the smoker from
Boardman, but they were also the
annexers of something besides a vic
tory . . . when it came time to ex
amine the local FFA boys for bruises,
broken bones, and the like, some of
them were the possessors, proud or
otherwise, of a few of the blackest
shiners seen in these parts for some
time. Arlington high considers itself
holder of the Class B high school
football championship. This writer is
not questioning that claim, but ac
cording to a Portland paper, that
team was undefeated both this sea
son and last by other Class B teams,
and received only one defeat in
Oregon, that by Hermiston, a Class
A team. Now, that's where the case
of a technicality steps in. The Honk
ers, as previously stated, claim to be
undefeated both this season and last
by teams of its same class. If the
students of Arlington high, the
members of its football team, the
athletic manager, and the coach,
Vince Barrett, will scout through
the records, they will discover un
doubtedly to their surprise, that Ar
lington "unblemished" record has a
black spot on it. In 1936, playing on
the Arlington home field, the Hepp
ner team, led by Len Gilman, who as
a freshman this year at Pacific uni
versity was the leading scorer in the
iNortnwest conierence, opened up
with an effective variety of running
and passing plays that all but swept
Arlington off its feet. The host team
that day, who in a previous game had
knocked over Heppner 12-0, lost to
Heppner s Mustangs by two touch
downs and two conversions tor a
total of 14 points. (Hermiston, it must
be noted, also defeated Arlington,
6-0, in 1936.) And with that defeat
Arlington lost all rightful claim to
the title of having been undefeated
both this season and last. Another
thing, Hermiston is not rated as a
Class A team, Class A meaning that
school has an enrollment of more
than 150 students. As Hermiston is
in the same group as Arlington, that
gives the Honkers three defeats in
Oregon, covering this season and last.
As just a reminder, sports readers
were misinformed when they read
that Arlington has been undefeated
both this season and last by other
Class B teams.
