Heppner Whacks
Condon 26-6 to
Take League Lead
Hughes Made Goal
In First Canto on
Off-tackle Smash
Coach Leonard Pate's Mustangs
Tan a little bit wild over the Con
don Blue Devils in Friday's foot
ball game at Condon, returning
home with another victory and first
place in the league standing. The
decisive winning score 26-6, re
moved any doubt about the
strength of the Mustang herd and
placed Heppner in line for district
play-off honors.
With Archie Padberg booting the
pigskin for 50 yards on the initial
kick-off, the Mustangs were off to
a good start. Condon was held and
forced to punt out. Heppner on a
series of plays moved the ball down
to the Devil 28 yard stripe. From
there, Hughes, on an off tackle
smash, carried the ball over the
goal line standing up. Try for con
version failed.
Heppner scored in the second
canto when Buster Padberg laced
a pass over to Jack Parrish who
put the .ball down in pay territory.
Archie Padberg took it over for
the extra point. Score: Heppner 13,
Condon 0. Later in the same quar
ter Archie Padberg smashed over
from the four yard line for the third
touchdown, following this up by
taking the ball over for the extra
point.
After the rest between halves,
Condon came back with more po
wer and spirit than previously dis
played in the game. Despite this
display of strength, Skip Connor,
Mustang quarterback, carried the
pigskin 10 yards for the final Hep
pner touchdown. Score: Heppner
26, Condon 0.
Not to be denied at least one
touchdown, Condon threw in a se
ries of desperation passes in the
final period. One of these connect
ed with D. Wilkins who raced over
for a touchdown. Try for point
failed.
Heppner led in first downs (15
to 4.

in preparing children to meet the
responsibilities in a new world of

Hotel Mollahan"
k A -
Sans Customers
Most hotel operators would be
worried if their rooms were empty,
but not so with Pat Mollahan, who
in his role as sheriff has the care
of guests at the county bastile. For
the first time in several weeks the
"hotel" is empty or was up to mid
night last night and Pat is greatly
relieved, although he did entertain
j some notorious customers the Dast
month. Three of these customers
apparently didn't like the accom
modations and took French leave
last week.
Sheriff Mollahan has been in
formed that Charles M. Ronning
who broke jail with Jesse Kirk
land and Elbert Demery Tuesday
of last week, has been returned to
Jefferson Barracks, Mo. where he
is a general prisoner. The other
two are in the hands of the FBI.
The trio left Heppner in the pick
up belonging to Russell Wright.
Officials .believe they drove to Ar
lington where they took a sedan.
However, the pickup was found at
Umatilla and it i is supposed that
one of them drove it that far to
throw officers off the trail. The
ruse didn't work and they were
picked up at Baker Wednesday.
Mrs. Lucas Named
Council Chairman
Heppner unit of the Council of
Oregon Republican Women held its
November meeting at the Lucas

Mrs. W. O. Dix, Mrs. Lucy Rod
gers, Mrs. Grace Nickerson, Mrs.
O. G. Crawford and Miss Florence
Bergstrom.
A membership drive will be

Gift Packages to
"Yanks Who Gave
n
Coming in Slowly
With only 33 days left to do
Christmas shopping, most of us are
dallying around about leaving gift
packages at the Legion auxiliary
center, the show window in the
Heppner Hardware and Electric
company store. Auxiliary members
are anxious to get a large collec
tion of gifts at the earliest possible
date so they may be prepared for
shipment before the annual holiday
crush comes.
This year there is twice as much
need for "gifts for the Yanks who
gave" as in former years, due to
the large number of service people
in hospitals here and abroad and
the auxiliary points out that there
is no lack of incentive for giving a
generous Christmas to these hospi
talized veterans.
A suggested list of items having
the approval of the war depart
ment includes books, stationery
and toiletries. A complete list may
be found in the window of the Hep

taken before Justice J. O. Hager
Tuesday. Schoene, in company
with four other men from Forest

the sight of a deer close at hand
tempted him too far.
Arrest was made by Officers El

was fined $150 and given a sen
tence of six months in jail. The jail
sentence was suspended.
Schoene stated that he was re
turning to camp when he espied a
small buck nearby and couldn't re
sist shooting it.

there were any Oregon boys
aboard, but the bigger one is a
Coast Guard and I'd asked them,
but John is on the navy smaller
boat from which I'd met none of
the fellows. He is surely a nice boy
and crazy to get home. Tell his
folks he is wild to see them and
told me all about them. He will be
up again this evening and I'm
thrilled to pieces.
Hope this makes you 100 percent
better, Mother. He loves you as do
all your "boys".
It has snowed nearly two feet
the last two days. Some of the boys
are getting quite a thrill out of it.
They are all grand fellows and we
are enjoying them immensely. Some
would like to stay here forever."
