By Larry Mollahan
For the fourth week in a row
Heppner posted a pair of wins on
the schedule. As was expected
the Mustanes conserved their
energy Friday night beating Ru
fus 37 to 21 in a low scoring af
fair at Rufus.
The next evening saw Heppner
putting every bit of basketfclll
knowhow into a54 to 37 win over
St. Joseph's of Pendleton. A ca
pacity crowd watched the Satur
day night game on the, Heppner
home floor.
A contributing factor Friday
night to the low score was Rufus's
use of the famous "freeze hold
ing the ball and passing slowly
around the defense.
Bob Grabill led the scoring for
Heppner with an even ten points,
Morris set the pace for Rufus with
sixteen.
Grabill put on a jumpshot exhi
bition in the first period for four
markers. Dick Kononen and
Jerry Haguewood found the net
once to total an eight to five lead
in the first period of play.
Skip Ruhl netted a layin and
one foul shot in the second quar
ter to total three points. Ruhl
shared the scoring with Kononen
who hit one field goal. Ahead by
a squeak at the half 13 to 12,
Heppner turned in an aggressive
second half and racked 12 points
in the third period to the Wolves
three.
Grabili was up and in twice for
four more, Neil Beamer broke in
to the scoring column and match
ed Grabill with two twine twist
ers. Haguewood made good two
gift shots and Kononen caged a
field goal from the key.
Coach Larry Dowen ran In some
bench warmers in the closing
period to rest the first string. Del
Piper who is being groomed to
take over at center next season,
replaced Neil Beamer and re
bounded in three baskets. A few
parting shots netted Kononen,
Grabill, and Ruhl a field goal
Bluejays Clipped
Heppner had Its cannons
primed Saturday evening when
the quint from St. Joe's arrived.
The Bluejays handed Heppner
their only defeat of the season a
month before at Pendleton 44 to
39.
Dick Kononen pumped in 11
points to lead the Mustangs. Bill
Doherty, Bluejay center totaled 13
points for the Academy,
The Mustangs loosened a point
making barrage in the first per
iod to place them comfortably
ahead ten to four.
Kononen and Neil Beamer shot
through a tension charged at
mosphere to cage four points
apiece. Jerry Haguewood arched
in a long one from the corner for
the other two.
Skip Ruhl stuffed in three
swishers on Larry Dowen's fam
ous pass and break play. H-ague-wood
kept the stands gasping as
he shot two more "impossibles"
from the corner. Kononen hit
three out of four foul shots for
three points. Beamer set in a
rebound and hit a gift shot for
three more. Del Piper came in for
Beamer and closed the half with
a tip in. Heppner was out in the
lead 28 to 16 at the intermission
time.
Bob Grabill made good three
jumpshots in the third quarter
for six points. Ruhl stole the ball
and was across the ten second
line and down under for two
pointers. Haguewood collected
two points on a trip to the foul
line to top off the third period
score 38 to 23 with the Mustangs
maintaining their lead.
The second string came into
the action in the last period with
Kononen hitting two layups be
fore heading for the bench. Del
Piper was in for Beamer and col
lected two foul shots and a re
bounder. Lyle Jensen and Lowell

I Top New Vegetables
Suited for Oregon
The new Ail-American selec
tion of vegetables are all adapt
able to growing in Oregon, ac
cording to R. alph Clark, Oregon
State college extension horticul
tural specialist.
These 1955 vegetable winners
are Seminole bush snapbean,
Golden Beauty sweetcorn and I
Pennsweet muskmelon.
The Seminole bean was pro
duced in Florida to fill their need
for a bean to compete with Ore
gon's Blue Lake strains. Clark
said. It is suitable for home,
market, canning and freezing.
Although it is recommended
for garlens all over the United
States, the horticultural specialist
said it may not do as well in
Oregon as the Blue Lake.
Both the corn and muskmelon
are worthy of trial here, he said.
The corn, originated in Massa
chusetts, is a few days earlier
than Marcross, and a heavier
yielder and more disease-resist
ant tnan ar ivorm. its main
crop is ready for picking in about
73 days. It has 12 to 14 rows of
golden yellow kernels of medium
depths and desirable white silks.
The muskmelan, bred at Penn
sylvania State university, was de
veloped for short growing sea
sons. Although it is not a com
mercial shopping type, it seems
weU adapted for home gardens
and local market production,
Clark reported.
