Mustang Fighting
Power Turns Back
Arlington Threat
Honkers Started
Fast But 'Stangs
Finished Strongest
What appeared to be a possible
Arlington victory in the first
quarter was turned into a rout
for the invaders Friday afternoon
when the Heppner Mustangs got
their second wind and began to
show some of the fighting spirit
that has pulled thorn out of bad
holes before. The visitors showed
surprising strength and skill in
executing plays and had the lo
cal lads guessing for awhile, but
when they hit thei stride It was
a different story.
It didn't help the Mustang out
look to have the visitors receive
the initial klckoff and march
right down the field for a touch
down In less than two minutes.
Somewhat dismayed, but un
daunted, the Mustangs returned
the compliment a few minutes
later when It came their turn to
receive the klckoff. A little later
Arlington recovered a Heppner
fumble on Heppner's 25-yard line
and soon ran the ball over for the
second TD. Failure to convert left
the score 13-7 in the Honkers'
favor. Wth 30 seconds to go in
the quarter, Bergstrom ran 30
yards to pay dirt. Connor made,
the extra point on an end run.
Score, Heppner 14, Arlington 13.
Both teams exhibited determin
ation to win in the second half,
playing a scoreless third quarter,
but in the fourth canto it was
Heppner all the way. Ruhl smash
es off tackle made long gains for
Heppner. Kuhl and Green each
scored in this period, making one
conversion and failing on the
other.
Heppner outpointed the visit
ors on other features of the game.
On first downs the count was 17
5 and on yardage 367-114.
The Mustangs are meeting
Grant Union high here this Fri
day afternoon. Two weeks ago
GU played a 12-12 tie with Echo,
the only team to defeat the Mus
tangs so far this season. That the
grandstand should be packed is
the expressed desire of the school
officials and students.

Pheasant Invades
Braden Building
In Nocturnal Flight
A midnight prowler invaded
the Braden Tractor & Equipment
company store in Heppner Friday
night, breaking a window to
make the entrance. It might be
said that the word prowler is un
fair for the invasion seems to
have been more of an accident
than otherwise.
A hen pheasant finding herself
within the boundary lines of the
city and perhaps somewhat con
fused by the bright lights along
the main stem was attracted by
the peace and quiet of the inter
ior of the Braden store and dis
regarding the glass front flew
right in. All was peace and quiet
within until the office force be
gan to arrive the next morning
and then the bird decided it was
time to get out which she did
by flying right out of the aper
ture she made on her entrance
the night before.
