Times, Nov. 5, 1942 Honkers Hobble Heppner "Horses" With 6-6 Tie The day wasn't the only thing that was cold last Friday as the Mustangs let the Arlington Hon kers hold them to a 6 to 6 tie. Play ing on the home field, the Mus tangs had to score in the last few minutes of the game to save them selves from a defeat. With Christopherson and Mc Claskey doing most of the ball handling, Arlington outplayed the Mustangs in the first quarter; the Mustangs couldn't stop the rever ses of the "river lads". Through out the half, Heppner found them selves in scoring position more than once, but losing the ball on downs. There was no scoring until early in the final quarter. McClaskey, Honker back, broke into the open and ran 40 yards to score. The con version attempt was nullified due to an off-side penalty. In two minutes, the Mustangs evened the score by an off-tackle play by Barratt. Quarterback Kenny was caught from behind on the conver sion try so it was no good. Still packing a lot of fire, the Mustangs marched down the . field again only to be stopped by the gun, at the end of the game. Shideler of Heppner has just caught a pass on the Honker 8 yard1 line. " Jones and! Parrish played a good defensive game in the line and Shideler shone in offensive.
