Page 8 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, October 6, 1955 HEPPHER BOWS TO HILflHDERS Mustangs Meet Stanfield Here Friday Night By James Monahan A crowd of over 700 people witnessed the Heppner Mustangs lose their, opening home field lights dedication game 2713 to a powerful Hilander team from Burns. Althoueh outscored by two touchdowns, Heppner had the margins in the first downs de partment with a 13 to 10 lead In rushing and passing, the Scots gained but a scant three yards more than the Mustangs, An enthusiastic Heppner cfowd saw the Mustang kickoff return ed to the Burns 45 by Russel of Burns. After a series of line smashes, the Scots were left with third and T. Russel hit off tackle for the needed seven and from there proceeded down to the Mus tang 39. A fumble was the result of a line smash that went for no gain and set the Heppner offense in motion. Hcppner's opening play was a pass that was intercepted by Slater who was downed on the Mustang 40. Then on a select group of pitch-outs and passes, Olsen of Burns went over for the first touchdown of the game. The attempted conversion was low and wide. Eight plays and an exchange of fumbles with Heppner on the Mustang two yard line gave the inlanders a 13 to 0 lead in the first minutes of the second stanza. Heppner took the kickoff and returned it to their own 34. From there Dick Ruhl and Ron McCabe plowed down to the Burns 15. Some exceptionally good faking resulted in Ruhl having a clear field to the endzone. Del Piper's kick was good and Heppner was only six points down. Ten yards worth of offside penalties on the kickoff put Hep pner on their own 35. The kickoff was returned to the Mustang 37. Again in 8 plays the inlanders were In touchdown territory and a completed conversion gave ttie Burns team a 20-7 margin at halftlme. Burns' second half kickoff was returned to the Heppner 32 by Ruhl and the Heppner gridders moved the ball to the Burns 45 where the Scots took possession on downs. Four pass plays, including a 58 yard pass running play, net ted Burns their final touchdown of the game. A pass play also gave them their extra point. The final quarter saw Hcppner's offensive attack Jake hold as they smashed for a lone TD and came within 12 yards of scoring in the final minutes of the game on a pass play from Skip Ruhl to Vic Groshens. Standouts in the game were the Mustang backs who received exceptional praise from the in lander coach. Skip lUilii, Mustang quarterback, was credited by the Burns coach as being the best faking back he had seen this year. The Heppner backfieki men said In return that a majority of the credit for Mustang offense belonged to the hard charging line. Another home game looms for the Mustang eleven this Friday night as they encounter a strong Stanfield team wtio have come out victorious over Pilot Rock and who were barely edged out 6-0 by league leader Echo. This tilt, being a night game, the Mustangs expect an excel lent showing of Heppner fans. n Hunting guests oi Mr. and Mrs. Harold Evans over the week end were Mr, and Mrs. Jack Hal stead and sons Jack and Jann and Mr. and Mrs. Kurt Carnihan of The Dalles.

This money, he said, will per mit the state highway commis sion to spend that much more money on highway construction and maintenance than antici pated. Unander said the profit was realized on the investment of state highway commission funds in short term securities. These securities paid a higher rate of interest in most instances than the interest money the state had to pay on the highway bond is sues. Between October 1, 1951 and September 1, 1953, the state sold a total of $72 million in high way bonds, authorized by the state legislature. The interest rates on these bonds varied from 1 per cent to 2.25 per cent. After checking with state high way officials, Unander found that the proceeds from the high way bonds could not be expend ed immediately with the result that the funds were reinvested in "safe securities which the treasurer found paid the high est rate of interest, with the re sult that a million and a quar ter dollar profit was marked up. Unander said that deputy treasurer Fred Paulus, long in the state treasury service, work ed with him in the temporary in vestment of the highway funds.

Four pounds of Karmex DW per acre in 30 gallons of water is recommended for removing vel vet grass a perennial from bentgrass, alta fescue and Merion bluegrass seed crops. It should be applied in October and at the four-pound rate only after crops are at least one year old. Two pounds of the chemical are recommended to control an nual weedy grasses and broad leaf weeds in the three seed crops plus creeping red fescue. It may be applied to well-established seedlings of alta fescue and mer ion bluegrass but should not be used on bentgrass and creeping red fescue until stands are a year old. Special care is specified for spraying velvet grass out of home lawns. The agronomists recom mend the two pound per acre rate which is equivalent to 1 assisted in local clubs. Today in Oregon, 676 active 4-H'ers are helping to organize and plan ma terial with local leaders. A junior leader must be at least 14 years old. Project work also has in creased. A 4-H'er may work on more than one project, which is a work plan that involves dif ferent phases of home ecenomics! and agriculture. There were 1707 j more projects successfully com to use only on well-established lawns. The lawn will probably turn brown after spraying but should bounce back next spring with out velvet grass. Lawn sprays may be applied any time from Octo ber to December. Karmex DW is a wettable pow der that settles and should be used only if the spray tank has a mechanical agitator. Otherwise improperly mixed portions of the solution might be too weak to be ounces of Karmex DW in a gallon ( effective or too strong for safety of water for coverage of 1000 square feet of lawn. It is import ant to get even coverage of the coverage of the lawn, to avoid overlapping spray patterns, and of crops, the researchers say. Food and Drug administration clearance for spraying grass used for livestock feed is still pending. Does 'Northwestern' Have A Larger Run of Good and Choice Quality Cattle Each Veek?
