Page 6 Heppner Gazette Times, TrTurs'day, November 3, 1955 Heppner Grid Schedule Reshuffled Games Set Today And Monday, Moro is Victor Heppner's small rugged band of Mustangs gave a powerful Husky team from Moro a terrific first half battle, but lack of num bers plus lack of weight In the second half took its tolf as the Huskies rolled on for a 20-7 win here last Friday night. Sixteen blue and gold jerseys took the field and battled Moro to a deadlocked 7-7 halftime score. After spotting the Huskies a late first quarter touchdown Mustang quarterback Skip Ruhl engineered a 71 yard march on 5 plays, the last 2 spread formation plays that went for 31 and 21 yards respectively. Injuries hit the Mustangs hard as did vital fumbles on the Mus tangs own 2 yard line. Post-game examinations found bruised shoulders, strained knees, in jured backs, and other hindering injuries. Fumbling opened the gateway for the game's first score. After holding the Huskies on their own 1 foot line, the Mustangs lost the ball on their own 3. A play later and Moro led 7-0 with an added extra point. Halfway into the second stanza the horses lone scoring drive of the game played off as Skip Ruhl romped around left end on a 21 yard sprint. Heppner's opening second half onside kick was immediately covered by a Husky lineman. Morro's Huskies took the pigskin all the way on a series of line bucks and end runs. Paydirt was struck for the Huskies for the second time of the game on an off tackle smash and went for 4 yards. Another try for point was successful, and Moro was ahead 14-7. A fourth quarter score again from the ground gave the Hus kies the deciding 20-7 margin of the game. Second half statistics of the game showed the Mustangs were outscored, outgained and outman ned. Game Played Today Heppner's fifth league game of the year is being played this af ternoon (Thursday) with the Umatilla Vikings and will prove to be a deciding factor in the choice of a tie for the league championship. This game was originally scheduled for Friday night but because the district playoffs have been set for Fri day, Nov. 11, the same day as Heppner's final game was origin ally scheduled against Echo, the game was moved up. Umatilla, a present second divi sion club has shown strength sev eral times this season. Although their last game was a 40-7 loss to Joseph, they may prove to be an upset victor. The Echo game has also been rescheduled and according to pre sent information it will be played next Monday night, Nov. 7 at Echo. It was originally set for Friday, Nov. 11, the same day as the first playoff game. There was a rumor circulating Wednesday that Echo might for feit its game to Heppner, espe cially if Heppner should lose to Umatilla, because of the close ness of the playoff date. Echo even with the forfeit would have only one loss compared to two for Heppner, if the Mustangs were to lose to Umatilla. There was no verification of the story, and no officials could be reached to substantiate it. o Mystery and Suspense Theme of Jr. Play Chills and fever!

But don't look for it on your grocer's shelves. If and when commercial irra diation of sawdust is possible, it will be for the double-duty di gestive system of Isabbella the cow. Oregon agricultural and for estry scientists sparked by the possibility of moving the state's piles of Douglas fir sawdust into livestock feed racks, conducted trials with funds from the Ore gon Forest Products laboratory. Tests were under the direction of Dr. L. F. Remmert, Oregon State college agricultural chem ist. . . Sawdust is roughly 60 percent carbohydrate most of it in the indigestible form of cellulose or crude fiber. Normally, even a cow's digestive juices can't break down much wood cellulose into usable energy sugars. Bombardment of the cellulose with atomic rays, the scientists reasoned, might split the carbo hydrate into smaller units which could be more readily attacked and made soluble by stomach of rumen fluids. Sawdust sealed in tin cans was exposed to high-level gamma ray irradiation at the AEC materials testing reactor at Arco, Idaho. And Polyethylene bags of saw dust went into General Electric company's electron-beam gene rator at Milwaukee, Wis., for irradiation by less penetrating but faster working beta rays. The results: rumen fluids were able to change into soluble form one-fourth to one-third of the gamma treated carbohydrates and about two-thirds of beta treated carbohydrates. Actually, all digestive tests were conducted with an artificial "stomach" or test tuba contain ing rumen juices extracted from animals, since not enough saw dust could be irradiated in ini tial trials for livestock feeding trials. Although the sawdust does not become radioactive, Dr. Remmert says further tests are needed to learn if materials are formed during irradiation that might be toxic to animals or to' rumen micro-organisms. But the big question is "cost." Even with cheap sawdust and prospects for growing supplies of waste radioisotopes in the near future, the physicl problems of bringing the two together might price sawdust off bossy's menu. o PIEPERS ATTEND -GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. Arnold G. Pieper and grandson Daryl Dick drove to Portland Thursday where they spent the weekend. On Sunday Mrs. Pieper and Mr. and Mrs. O. M. Scott of Hermiston, former residents of Morrow county, at tended the golden wedding anni. versary dinner and reception of Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Deyoe at Day ton, Oregon. The Deyoes were residents of this community many years ago and are cousins of Mrs. Pieper and Mr. Scott. Rear-End Collisions Most Frequent Type of Accident Rear-end collisions have been come the leading type of Oregon accident. There were 0,080 rear-end crashes during the first six months of 1955, and 5,038 of them resulted in property damage. More than 1,000 of the rear-end crashes, which traffic experts blame on inattentive driving, caused injuries and four proved fatal. The figures, released by secre tary of state Earl T. Newbry's traffic safety division, also reveal that more rear-end crashes hap pened at non-intersection loca tions than at intersections. Other leading types of acci dents during the first six months were: turning movements, 6,027; angle collisions, 3,728; side-swiped-overtaking, 2,925; park ing maneuver, 2,869; backing, 1,923; side-swiped-rfleeting, 1, 430; head-on crashes, 371; and unclassified, 58. October Sprays Check Grass Crop Weeds October is a good month to I spray weeds in grass seed crops, I according to W. R. Furtick and D. O. Chilcote, research agrono- Lmists at Oregon State college. Chemicals such as Chloro IPC, IPC and the new Karmex DW can control germinating weedy annual grasses in bentgrass, alta fescue, creeping fescue, chewings fescue, and Merion bluegrass. Karmex DW also jwill control broadleafs and vel vet grass in bentgrass and alta fescue. Spray rates, other weed con trol suggestions, and spring con trols using 2,4-D and other weed killers are included in circular of information 551, "Chemical Weed Control In Grass Seed Crops." Copies are available from county extension offices or from OSC. Legume Insect Controls Listed Oregon farmer battles against insects that attack clover, alfalfa, and other legume hay and seed crops have received a boost with publication of a new insect-control bulletin by Oregon. State col lege. Illustrations and descriptions of 31 injurious insects, parts of legume plants attacked by cer tain insects, and control recom mendations are included in the 40-page booklet prepared by en tomologists E. A. Dickason and R. W. Every. The bulletin includes a sec tion on mixing and applying in secticides and tells how to iden tify and protect insects that are beneficial to legumes. Copies of extension bulletin 749, "Legume Insects of Oregon", can be ob tained from local county exten sion agents or from the OSC bulletin clerk. HAS NEW EMPLOYEE Harold A.
