Page 6 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, May 12, 1955 Mustangs Move Into District Playoff District Game Against Moro to Be Here Friday By Larry Mollahan Heppner fans will have the chance to see their team in action Friday afternon against Moro In the District 6-B finals. The game will be played at the Rodeo grounds at 2 o'clock. The Mustangs have dropped only two games this season to eight wins. Last week's play netted Hepp ner the Big Wheat League crown in a wide open contest with Fossil at Fossil 7 to 2. The Mustangs collided with Mitchell Friday and registered a 14 to 2 victory to get into the district playoffs. A non-counter Tuesday even ing was fatal to the Mustangs as they came out on the short end of a 5 to 0 no-hitter pitched by Les Young of Echo. j Coach Larry Dowen defined the loss to the Cougars as Just plain old "Echoitis" a sort of nervous ness that afflicts Heppner when ever they play Echo. The loss served a purpose how ever in bringing the boys to re cognize their mistakes. The sensational play of the game was when Young knocked a nomer with one man on lor Echo. Should Heppner win the Moro game, there will be one more dis trict playoff prior to going to the state tourney. Who that game might be against is not yet known. Saturday will see Jim Mallon's Track squad hitting the trail for La Grande to compete In the dis trict track meet. FALL BREAKS HIP Word was received that W. T.

It soaks in . . soil, goes into mor it sticks better to the soil, will stay put and grow the crop. 2. It's immediately available ... no weiting for either tain or irrigation. 3. Long lastini ... it contains a chemi cal governor which controls the rate of bacterial attack, leaving reserve,, for lat r use. 4. Accur-t3 metering . . . liquids with out pressure are the most accurately measured materials. You caa have a printed delivery tick-it, too. 5. Easy handling . . . pumps do the work no lift, no lug. 6. Do it yourself ... or let George do it. Aqua lends to a wide choice in applica tion you can handle ij yourself or call on the Dealer to do it for you. This is be cause it can be handled without pressure tanks and stored like gasoline. 7. Works even in cool weather . . the aqua solution will produce more crop growth in cool weather than the concen trated gas from which it is made; aqua is more available to do your winter-time job of crop growing. 8. Less power to put it in . . . since it sticks well, aqua can be placed at 4" to 6" deep instead of "down to China" which means faster application, or less tractor power. This also makes for quicker avail ability. 9. Keeps the soil "soft" . . . aqua won't drive away calcium. With aqua, you keep your calcium and keep the soil friable and fight possible alkali. 10. Adjust to weak spots . . . aqua drill equipment can be adjusted easily to change th3 rote applied according to the soil changes. 1 1. AND IT COSTS NO MORE.
