The second of a three-game string of night gridiron tilts at home saw the Musangs taT?e the field in the second half to push across two touchdowns af ter injuries had plagued the Hep pner .lineup. , The most serious Injury came on the final play of the first half when guard Steve Green fractured his left collarbone while opening a hole for Al Esches' 47 yard gallop which came within 9 yards of netting Heppner its second touchdown of the game. After grabbing an early sec ond quarter lead, the Mustang pass defense was surprised when two Tiger touchdown passes gave them a 7-6 halftirne lead. Initial quarter of play was dominated by the Heppner ele ven as they moved up and down the field, but pass interceptions and costly fumbles kept the game at a 0-0 deadlock. Halftime statistics had the Mnstancs leading in everv de partment but the seoiing. The second half attempt to rally back was given a sharp setback when captain Ed Bros nan was given a permanent trip to the sidelines over a disputed call with the referee.

A series of ground plays netted the Mustangs two first downs when an off-tackle play by fullback Dick Kuhl went all the way for 35 yards. A blocked kick left the score 12-7. Stanfield took the kickiff, but again, their offensive drive was halted and Heppner took over on downs. A pitched battle seesawed back and forth with the Mustangs keeping the top spot. Nine olavs brought the pig skin to the Stanfield 12 yard line. Halfback Ron McCabe took an off guard boundoff and was over for Heppner's final tally or the game. Skip Ruhl smashed over for the extra point. Going intn the final period the Tigers still had a minus total in rushing. A group of 15 yard pen alties took the Tigers from their own 25 to the Mustang 25. A pass play brought them up to the Heppner 10 but a hard charg ing Heppner line spilled the Stanfield quarterback for 15 yards and another aerial thrust into the endzone by the Tiger back was knocked down, but an Inter ference penalty gave the ball to the Tigers on Heppner s iu yara line with a first and 10. The Hep pner secondary turned In an ex cellent goal line stand to hold Stanfield off.. The Mustang's brilliant last ditch stand seemed to be the big asset in holding the Tigers from another score.

State Traffic Deaths Increase During 1955 Oregon's 1955 traffic death toll has climbed to 286, Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry reported today !T7 m.4 'I t . r 4 'I ' 41 at i r1 j si ED BROSNAN. husky Heppner Mustang team captain, who holds down vital tackle post. Matches and caresless smoking I September accidents claimed 64 habits again topped the list of, lives according to a tentative causes for home fires. Second 'count of reports received to date, among causes were overheated or defective stoves, furnaces, chim neys and flues. One hazardous practice alone use of kerosene to quicken fires takes as many lives in the state as do hunting accidents, Ross reports. Fires started by elec tricity, defective wiring and ap pliances were also in the big class. Fire losses are consistently higher in rural areas than in towns. Fire Prevention Week, says Ross, should be a special remind er for rural home owners to check over the tools they have to fight a beginning fire. An encouraging note, the spe cialist says, was a $500,000 de crease in fire damage to homes between 1953 and 1954. Fire deaths were the same for the two years, but were down sharply from 1951 and 1952. Ross called attention to a new kind of help Oregon families are receiving in preventing fires. Some local fire departments now send firemen to homes for volun tary inspection for fire zahards. Last year such service was offer ed in 81 Oregon cities, towns and rural fire prevention districts, o Lennie Louden left Sunday for a visit of about ten days in Portland. and thp fieure mav go nigner if delayed reports are received or if persons now listed as in jured later succumb, the secre tary said. The September fatality count last vear was 38 and the end-of- September toll was 285. August traffic deaths, report ed earlier as 39, now have reach ed 41 with the receipt of two more August fatality reports. One more death was charged to the I.ahor Dav weekend, raising Ore gon's traffic death count during the final three-day holiday ot the summer season to seven.
