Team Loses to Fossil
The Heppner basketball team lost
its first league game at Fossil, Sat
urday night, 27-14. The superior
condition of the Fossil team proved
to be the deciding factor in the de
cisive victory, as they ran the Mus
tangs ragged in the last half to -core
thirteen points to Heppner's four.
The half-time score was 14-10 in
favor of the Wheeler county lads.
The Heppner team was pleasantly
surprised when they found that the
new Fossil gym was larger than the
local one and with a higher ceiling.

Operetta Successful
"The King's Courtship," a comic
operetta given by the combined boys'
and girls' choruses of the high school,
was successfully presented to a large
and enthusiastic audience last Fri
day evening. , The amusing antics
of the jester, Donald Bennett, and
the king, La Verne Van Marter,
were very commendable and ap
pealed to the audience.

Support White Christmas
Along with all the fun of receiv
ing and sending gifts and writing
letters to Santa Claus, let us give
our support to the senior class in
helping to sponser the White Christ
mas. Each of us has been asked to
bring either food or clothing which
someone would be only too glad to
receive. Let us remember in doing
this that there are those less for
tunate than we. Many hearts will be
gladdened and the load made lighter
for those whom we help in this small
way. Give with a willing heart and
remember: "It is more blessed to
give than to receive."

PINTO POINTS
The Oregon High School Athletic
association- at its annual meeting,
December 30, will come forth with
decisions on two problems that are
of direct interest to Heppner ath
letic followers. On that board's re
port hinges whether or not La Verne
Van Marter, Mustang center, will
be eligible for further competition in
athletics this forthcoming . second
semester. In his sophomore year, he
was the victim of an illness that was
entirely unforseen, and although go
ing out for basketball when a fresh
man, he competed in no games. The
board's other decision having direct
contact with us concerns the status
of Hermiston, whether it is a class
"A" or "B" school. According to
some theories, Hermiston has been
an "A" school for the last two years,
but has not declared itself as such
However, a protest was' made, as
they have been playing, for the most
part, in "B" competition, and last
spring reached the finals in a "B"
district basketball tuornament. It
really puts the Bulldogs on the spot
for should it be declared as possess
mg an A rating, riermiston wm
probably be placed in one of the
toughest basketball districts in the
state, thaf ot District 2, composed of
Pendleton, Mac Hi, The Dalles and
Hood River. Although Hermiston
has beaten the first-named of that
foursome of schools, Pendleton can
hardly be termed as the class of that
league.
Three boys on the local basket
tossing squad, Doug Drake, Bill Bar
ratt and La Verne Van Marter, can
each hold a basketball in his right
hand. Among local notables visiting
his home town during the Christmas
holidays is Francis "Tiger" Nick
erson of the University of Oregon.
Tiger says he is in for a vacation of
abstainment from such tempting di
versions as this present period of
fers to the young man of the pres
ent generation ... a scrapping mem
ber of the university boxing team,
Tiger meets the 135 pound repre
sentative of the Chemawa Indian
school shortly after vacation ... his
condition must be one of top shafie
as the Indian boys have a reputa
tion of being able to give as well as
take. The task of being athletic man
ager is evidently a job of undesir
able proportions, as Harold Arm
strong has taken over the reins for
merly held, by Harry Tamblyn . . .
not since the days of Paul Phelan,
who was a three-year man in that
capacity, has a manager been found
who stayed the entire year and
worked consistently through the per
iod covering the four sports spon
sored by this school.

Humor
A self-styled reformer was watch
ing a trench being dug by modern
methods. He said to the superin
tendent: . "This machine has taken jobs from
scores of men. Why don't you junk
that machine and put one hundred
men in that ditch with shovels?"
The superintendent promptly re
torted: "Or better still, why not put
a thousand men in there with tea
spoons!" There had been a train wreck and
one of the two traveling teachers
felt himself slipping from his life.
"Good-by, Tom," he groaned to
his friend. "I'm done for."
"Don't say that, old man!" Bput
tered the English professor. "For

heaven's sake, dont end your

Jeanne Hays: "Call for me tonight
at eighty-thirty."
Rufus Hill: "O. K. What Umell
you be ready?"
"What does the C. L 0. stand for!"
"It doesn't stand. It sits down."
"I turned the way I signaled, said
the lady indignantly, after the crash.
"I know it," retorted the man.
That's what fooled me."
Waiter: "Are you Hungary?"
Broker: "Yes, Siam."-
. Waiter: "Den Russian to the table
and Til Fiji!"
Broker: "All right, Sweden my
coffee and Denmark my bill."
"Now that we are married, perhaps
I might venture to point out a few
of prour little defects,' said a man
recently.
"Don't bother, dear." replied his
wife. "I'm quite aware of them.
Those defects prevented me from
getting a much better man than you
are."
Dick Wilkinson went into a sad
dlers shop and asked for one spur.
"But why only one spur?" asked
the puzzled clerk.
Replied Dick: "Well, if I can get
one side of the horse to go, the oth
er will go with it."
Mother: "I don't think the man
unstairs likes Johnnie to play his
drum."
Father: "Why?"
Mother: "Well, this afternoon he
gave Johnnie a knife and asked him
if he knew what was inside the
drum."
Harold Armstrong: "Those people
over my neaa are sometimes very
trving. They were jumping about
and banging the floor till after mid
night last Monday."
Landlord: Did they wake you
up:
Harold: "No, I hadn't gone to bed
yet." '
Landlord: "Working late, I sup

Harold: Yes, I was practicing on
my saxophone." -
