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.

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.

Lexington Team Still

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.

prices compared with a year ago,
M. D. Thomas, OSC agricultural

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.
