Page 8 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, December 1, 1955 J(oHq)ir(S lQ)n) Lacal Gridders Named on League All-Star Team By James Monahan Boardman takes the initial basketball spotlight this season as they play host this Thurday night to the UMC League basket ball teams including the Hepp ner Mustangs. Heppner, champions of last year's encounter, goes into the contest as one of the top five teams there. George Delapp's cougars, always the big threat In District 7-B basketball, will be a power while the up-and-coming Stanfield Tiger giants are said to be one of the best teams In 7-B. Action Friday night switches to the Arlington maple where the 6-B district jamboree is to be held. Heppner, who has cap tured this event for the past two years, enters this scene with a good chance at coping the laurels again this year. All-Conference All-Stars were chosen at the recent UMC league meeting that was held at Fondle-1 ton. Ed Brosnan, Mustang cap tain, and quarterback Skip Ruhl, two senior Mustangers, were given starting berths on the myth ical "eleven" while Mike Mona han, Mac Griffith and Steve Green received honorable men tion placings. Outstanding lineplay on both defense and offensive contrib uted much to Brosnan's choice. Fass interceptions, kickoff re turns, and many other brilliant backfield moves gave Ruhl the nod at his quarterback position. The honorable mentions for Hepp ner were stalwarts on both of fense and defense for the Mus tangs.
