Fighting back from a 7 too
Halftime deficit, the Heppner
Mustangs thundered back to post
a 19 to 7 win over a heavily fa
vored stanfield Tieer team for
their second straight league win
of the season.
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.
The Tiger's offensive march
that got under way at the second
half kickoff ground to a com
plete stop at the Heppner 41. 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. Stanfield
spent the last seconds throwing
passes but the final gun went on
with Stanfield till at midfield

Matches and caresless smoking I September accidents claimed 64

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,

Annual Oregon Weed
Conference Planned
Latest findings in chemical
warfare against weeds will be
reviewed in public sessions No
vember 9 and 10 at the fourth
annual Oregon Weed conference
at the Senator hotel, Salem.
Reports by Oregon State col
lege researchers and agricultural
industrv representatives will deal
mainly with crop-robbing weeds,
although some attention will be
eiven to beautifying home
grounds through weed control,
says conference secretary Kex
Warren, OSC farm crops spe
cialist. Research findings will include
weed control in cereal, vegetable,
strawberry, and grass and legume
crops; chemical and mechanical
removal of sagebrush; and con
trol of plant growth in farm

the operation of weed districts as
seen by a panel of weed super
