Page 6 Heppner Gazette Times, Tfuirs'day OctoHer 20, 1955 Pepper and Elgin Battle f 6-6 Tie MustaRgs Travel To Athena Friday By James Monohan An unaware Heppner pass de fense was caught unprepared here Friday night in the waning minutes of the first half and was . scored upon by the Elgin Huskies to tie and set the final score at G-6. Several times during the con test Heppner backs broke away and went for near touchdown runs only to have fleet Huskies come from behind to pull them down. Scoring for the Mustangs came early in the second period when Mustang quarterback Skip Ruhl plowed over after a 67 yard touchdown drive. An attempted kick for extra point failed and here too, a chance for victory was lost. All season statistics now give the Mustangs only 3 con versions out of 10 tries. A strong Heppner defense held the aerial minded Huskies in the first series of downs and took the greater part of the rest of the period to move the ball down the field, and with 4th and one, kicked out to the Huskies 38, Neither team could penetrate very deep into enemy ground until the latter part of the first stanza when the Mustangs sparked their pay dirt drive. Elgin's tielng tally of the game came after the Huskies had roll ed to the Mustangs 34 with first and ten, Elgin's quarterback then fired the 34 yard TD pass to a fleet Huskie end, a fired-up Mustang line then charged through to keep the Huskies from passing for the extra point. Although the second period had the only tallies, sport fans saw a terrific second half defen sive battle. Mustang advance ments marched as far as the Elgin 15 yard line but ran out of fuel. Statistics gave the Mustangs the edge In all departments but the passing. Heppner outdist anced the Huskies 247 to 97 on the ground and led with 12 first , downs to Elgin's 8. This week's encounter is with the McEwan Scot ties who are now the "low man on the totem pole" but are out for a Cayuse Confer ence win. This hot and cold squad has demonstrated surpris ing strength at times, and then they have dropped games by large scores. League-leading Echo managed to gain a 14 0 win over them, and Stanfield's Tigers ran wild and posted a 31 o vic tory. Coach Jim Mallon's Mustangs are going through a vigorous passing drill, botli offensive and defensively. Over confidence will be the major liability as many Mustang fans know. Since McEwan is playing host, Mustang support will be needed. I'V ""'' ' ' - . I ' ' ' ' ' , ; -'ffA ft?.

Hunters Find That "kl- T" no trespassing Means What it Says Two hunters, their names un reported, found out Tuesday that No Trespassing" signs mean exactly what they say. The hunters were caught by Dick Wilkinson as they were carrying a .fawn to their car parked on the road along some of the Wilkinson property on Wil- ow creek. According to Wil kinson, the hunters admitted Ihey saw the signs, but the urge to kill the deer apparently over came their better judgment. As of Wednesday, no com plaint has been filed but Wilkin son confiscated the deer and turned it over to the state police man Bill Labhart with the re quest that it go to the county welfare commission. Such ani mals normally go to the game commission, but Labnart said this and another deer would be given to the local welfare, be cause of lack of storage space. o Lexington Team Still On Top of League Lexington high school football team retained its first place posi tion In the Little Wheat League by downing the Helix Grisleys 53 -23 on Friday on their home field. All of the Lexington players who suited up saw action. Vern Nolan scored four times, George Hermann three times and Lee Cornel ison once. Next week Lexington travels to Weston for a game which will probably be real tough and a thriller. o County Teachers Attend OEA Meeting Several Heppner, teachers at tended the county Oregon Edu cation Association meeting at Irrigon Oct. 13 to hear Miss Elda May Childers, La Grande pri mary teacher talk on what the state OEA does for teachers.

D. Thomas, OSC agricultural economist reported this week. Close on the heels of the outlook came word from OSC experiment station researchers that profit cutting stomach worms in lambs can be held in check with inex pensive treatment. Fattening lambs treated at OSC last fall with phenothiazine drench to control parasites gain- led four times as much as un j treated lambs. Treated lambs also graded higher, according to (veterinarian Paul Allen and ani Imal husbandman J. E. Oldfield. ! Twenty feeder lambs receiving the treatment averaged gain of! 113 pounds during a 70-day feed ling period ending Jan. 17. Un '.treated lambs gainad only three pounds. i Treated animals were drenched ' with two ounces of phenothiazine ! November 8 and again two weeks later. The drench was prepared by adding one pound of pheno thiazine powder to one quart of water. Even more striking than the increased gains, say the research ers, was the higher carcass qual ity of the treated lambs: seven graded "choice" and 13 "good". Of the untreated lambs, two were graded choice, 11 good, and six utility. There was one death in the untreated group.
