LOSE TO ADAMS
The Heppner basketball team
iourneved through the snow last
Fridav evening to Adams, where
they met defeat. The final score
was 41-16. Adams led at the half
19-5. Bill Barratt, Heppner captain,
had his hand injured in the game
and may not be able to play for
about a week.
H.H.S.
WHY NOT REPEAT?
Heppner can again be an outstand
ing town for its donation to the
prevention of infantile paralysis, as
it was last year. This can easily be
accomplished by everybody attend
ing the school program on February
10, in which the high school band,
choruses and dramatic talent will
furnish the entertainment. All of
the money that is taken in at this
program will be turned over to the
Infantile Paralysis Foundation fund.

BARNYARD BRAWL SATURDAY
Are you going to the Barnyard
Brawl?
The irl's League has carefully
planned a clever and unusual invi
tational dance to be held in the
high school gymnasium at 8:30 Sat
urday, Feb. 5. It is customary only
on leap year for the girl to extend
invitations, but on this occasion an
exception is made.
The familiar barnyard scenery will
be predominant.
Interesting dance programs will
be provided, with music furnished
by "Andy's Rhythmeers."
This will be a gala affair, with
print dresses and overalls required
for admittance.

PINTO-POINTS
"What kind of a team have you
got up there? What's wrong with
you fellows?" Such are the quer
ies of downtowners in referring to
Heppner's basketball squad. Wheth
er they are disgusted with the team s
record thus far this season is now
known if so, it's hardly a fair atti
tude to take. Some schools have the
misfortune of sponsoring a losing
team, but in the process, occasional
ly, a champion team is in the mak
ing ... in other words, one years
misfortune is another's good fortune.
.this is the case in our local
school. Of the first five basketball
players on tfie Mustang hoop con
tingent, only two had ever gone out
for varsity ball previous to this sea
son . . . and a most enlightening fact,
every man on Heppner's first string
will return next year . . . also, all the
reserves, with the exception of Em
mett Kenny, will be back.. .Hepp
ner's freshman squad, grade school
champions of this district in 1937,
have three years to go . . . some of
them need a little meat on their
frames, both up and across, but that
will come in time. Just to acquaint
those unfamiliar with the names of
Heppner's basketball outfit who will
again be in suit for next season,
Joe Aiken, Emery Coxen, Doug
Drake, Bill Barratt, John Crawford,
Milt Morgan, Harry CDonnell, and
Don Bennett, .the aforementioned
composes the traveling squad . . . the
following are the reserves ... Dub
Aiken, Jack Vaughn, Hugh Craw
ford, Bud Blakely and Jack Morton,
who are all freshmen, plus Guy
Moore, a junior., but just to sum
up this little ditty, Heppner is
building for the future . . . next year
and for several following, this school
can boast of a real team.
Off the backboard ... After being
granted the choice morsel of basket
ketball in this section, that of the
District 13 tournament, Arlington,
not to be outdone, pips up with the
sectional tournament for grade
school teams to be held March 4 and
5 . . . an invitational affair, teams
will be invited to compete from the
territory covered between The Dal
les and Hermiston and as far south
as Fossil ... Heppner, by the way,
is defending champion in this tour
nament. Last summer, the local
gym floor was sanded, oiled, waxed,
and the lines repainted for the bas
ketball court . . . after being oiled, it
tightened up considerably, this put
ting the floor in much better shape
than last year . . . but if the current
trend followed by some thoughtless
basketball enthusiasts of shooting
baskets when wearing moccasins
whose lowers are plated with heavy
leather is continued, whenever the
slightest opportunity offers, the life
of the court is going to be shortened,
quite noticeably. Twice this season
has Henry Tetz, ex Heppner coach
and now of Adams, carried out one
of his desires ... it is one only nat
ural of any mentor, that of trounc
ing the school of which he was for
merly coach . . . any athletic instruc
tor has a wish that he may be able
to return to his former stamping
ground and show his ex-proteges,
with the aid of a different team, a
few new tricks . . . Coach Tetz had a
double opportunity to do this, arid he
decidedly made the most of his
chances. Don Turner, last year's
high forward for the Mustangs and
now a freshman, writes that he may
be quoted as follows: "Oregon is a
cinch to win the championship of
the Pacific coast." The giant Oregon
Ducks have excellent chances of do
ing so, but it's still a pretty big bite.
If our friend is correct in his quo
tation, a place will be reserved for
him in the hall of fame, and a medal
will be awarded him for heroically
making such a remark at this point
in the season . . . but if not, there
are a few fellows that will make Mr.
Turner eat those famous words. Bill
Barratt, Mustang forward, has an
asset in his physical makeup that
is most valuable to a basketball play
er, that of having big hands ... in
fact, the space over which he can
stretch his fingers is large enough
to enable him to pick up a basket
ball with one hand . . . over at Adams,
his digits came out much for the
worse ... in some manner, they were
bent, unintentionally, in the direc
tion which nature did not intend. . .
result, two sore finges of increased
size . . . fear was expressed that they
may be broken, and after the swell
ing leaves, his injured fingers willj
Gazette Times, Heppner,
be x-rayed to see if there is a frac'
ture. Francis "Tiger" Nickerson, lo
cal product who boxes under the
colors of the University of Oregon
mit. Ipam lost hv a technical knock
out to the Oregon State boxer of
his same division when the two
schools clashed at Eugene last week
in their home-and-home- boxing
series ... in the return card to be
held at Corvallis February 11, Nick
will not only face his ring opponent,
but a goodly number of Heppner
students who are enrolled at O. S.
C. . . home town or not, you root for
your own school at these higher
education institutions ... so if Tiger
should win over his Beaver foe, he'll
then have something to crow about,
for he will quell his Corvallis
"friends" ... a double victory in one
match.

BRAIN TWISTER
There are four cubes stacked up
on each other, according to size. The
bottom cube is 4 by 4, the next 3 by
3, on top of that a 2 by 2, and a one
inch cube upon top. By looking
straight down upon the stacked
cubes, what is the area of the vis
ible space which can be seen?

GUESS WHO?
He has a passionate fondness for
bright checked shirts but never
wears them, contenting himself with
a bright green supplement. His hair
is the color of what some would
call copper, but is shading into red.
Of course, with the fiery topknot
he is very energetic in certain af
fairs, mainly agricultural. His last
name is that where you would be
if you were on the best side of the
argument.

Research Report
Reveals Scope
The effect of agriculeural and
home economics research on Ore
gon's progress is the theme of a
comprehensive report of the agricul
tural experiment station at Oregon
State college for the last biennium.
Published in the form of an il
lustrated bulletin, the report by R.
S. Besse, vice-director of the experi
ment station, contains a list of 237
current research projects for the bi
ennium, a financial report showing
total expendtiures in relation to es
timated returns and thumbnail
sketches describing the studies be
ing carried on by the central depart
ments and the 10 branch stations.
"No one can place an exact money
value on the continuous returns the
people of Oregon receive from the
results of agricultural research," the
report points out. "Conservative es
timates of known results; however,
exceed 10 million dollars annually.
Oregon's direct cash contribution to
this research program is less than J.
per cent of this return for the bien
nium reported on. State appropria
tions by the recent legislature for
special research on designated prob
lems have increased this total only
Oregon
to about $150,000, or Vk per cent of
the estimated returns."
Oregon's agricultural and home
economics research program has for
its objectives the reduction ot tne
hazards in farming, and improving
the standards of living in rural
homes, Vice-Director Besse points
out in the report. The problems of
the farm have increased and broad
ened with the progess of civilization
and its complexities. The farm of to
day is a commercial unit that must
compete in the markets of the world,
not only in amount and quality of
products but in the efficiency of pro
duction as well, he says.
The largest number of research
projects reported on is concerned
with protecting crops and livestock.
The next largest number have to do
with the developing of more econ
omical production methods. Next in
order are studies to improve qual
ity, to win and hold markets, con
serve soil fertility and testing irri
gation, introducing, testing, breed
ing and developing superior strains,
analyzing cost of production and ec
onomic efficiency and testing farm
home conveniences and management
"One-eyed automobiles" continue
to be a menace on Oregon highways,
Secretary of State Earl Snell says,
although state and city police are
unrelenting in their effrorts to cor
rect this condition.
"Motorists who keep driving with
faulty lights are showing poor
judgment," Snell states, "because the
expense of an accident will far
more than offset the low cost of
having the defect repaired. Faulty
lights are also an indication of dis
courtesy to other drivers."
Caution in approaching state high
way equipment or snowplows in the
road during bad weather is extreme
ly important, according to Secretary
of State Earl Snell. Collisions in
which this equipment is involved are
not infrequent, and such accidents
often mean serious traffic delays un
til the equipment can be replaced
or repaired.
