Page 8 Heppner Garette Times, Thursday, January 26, 1956 M ostein lone Falls But Echo Vins; Two Good Games Due By James Monahan Coach Larry Dowen's Mustangs romped over the Lexington Jack rabbits Friday night in a lop sided duel on the bunnies' home court by a 40-22 score and lost their chance for the league leadership the following night when George De Lapp's Echo Cougars edged out he Mustangs 49-41 despite a 19 point shooting spree by John Piper. Playing a terrific defensive game, the Heppner cagcrs held the rabbits scoreless for 12:33 minutes before the Orangemen from Lex scored on a pair of gift shots by Duke Hunt. Heppner "hit the iemp" for 19 counters before the jacks scored but continued on to hold a 22-8 halftime lead John Piper lead first half scor ing with 7 tallies while Skip Ruhl scored a pair of duces and equal member of black stripe tosses for a total of 6. The Mustangs rolled in 27 scores in the second half while the "long ears" collected 14 points on 4 field goals and 6 charity tosses. Reserves played most of the tilt and kept the contest under control at all times. Heppner shot 59 on the foul line as they connected on 13 out of 22 while the bunnies were shooting 10 for 17 for 58.

Poor defensive balls spelled de feat for the Mustangs and 1412 first quarter lead for the Cou gars was an early game clue as to the outcome. Virtually even playing was on schedule for the second stage action as the Mustangs battled to come within 4 points at half time with a mid-tilt score of 21-20. is Split in Week Hoo p Play Echo guard, Allan Tollar, drove down deep Into the key to sink 3 jump shots and give the cou gars a boost In their 15 point third quarter spurt. The horses tallied only 9 scores. Led by Lowell Turner and John Piper the blue and gold cagers fired back in the final period to score 5 points while the Cougars hit for only 11. A pressing attack employed by Larry Dowen's hoopsters nar rowed the margin to 2 points late in the last quarter, but a long shot by Mike Ramos of Echo gave them the lead they never relin quished. High point honors of the night went to Piper, and A. Tollar of Echo followed with 13. The Mustangs shot their best free throw norcentaee of the year as they rolled in 20 out of 26 for a record 76, but their field average was a low Jm while the cougars hit nearly .600. Heppner Echo J.

Stanfield, victor over lone and Irrigon, two of the leagues rough est, are bright marks on the Ti ger's record book which will make the competition for the Mustangs rough. Mann of Irrigon has been the league's leading scorer and has proved fatal to lone when he rolled In 38 points. With such threats on this week end's schedule, victories will be no cinch. lone Town Five Trounce Pendleton The lone town basketball team got back its winning ways last Monday when it trounced the Pendleton Indians 82 to 70.

All backsliders now. i During the last weary days of; the 1955 session a majority of the! members were making it known, that they had had enough, that I they never again would be-a! member of the Legislature. Re- j jturn? Never again. Wearily theyi sighed the vows of the Raven Club. "Nevermore." j- That was nine months ago. i This week we heard from most of them. Fifty per cent of them jsay they will have their names on the May primary ballot for re 1 election. LAST WILL VALID James II. Miller, worked hard as a logger and saved $95,000. The lonely bachelor changed his will the day before he died and bequeathed his savings to the American Cancer Society, Stan ford University Medical School and the Oregon State School for the Blind. A previous will, made 13 days before he died, left his money to II. Gerald Moran, Portland, em ploye of a brokerage house which looked after Miller's investments. Moran sued, trying to prove that Miller did not know what he was doing when making the second will. The Multnomah County Circuit Court ruled in favor of Moran. The Oregon State Supreme Court this week reversed the lower court, holding that Miller knew what he was doing when he made his second will and that he was legally competent to make it. NEW CHIEF OF FINANCE A young man who helped de sign the state department of fi nance and Administration was appointed director of the depart ment this week by Gov. Patterson. The appointee, Robert R. John son, designed, set up Oregon's Civil Service System in 1946 and was its first director. His services were judged too valuable to remain at the head of OSC. Legis lative leaderrs requested he be given a leave of absence to aid the Legislature's Commission on Reorganization of Government. Here he aided in modeling the State Department of Finance and Administration to control the state's purchasing, budget, print ing and office management fun ctions. It has been very successful in taking the heat off the governor, particularly in the purchasing department. CARTOONIST RETIRES Howard Fisher, editorial car toonist of the Oregon Journal for the past 27 years, retired January 1. Turning out a cartoon a day and ranking with the top ten cartoonists of the country is steady work. All the while he 1 was cartooning his avocation was j working in clay and stone for his I first art urge was to become a great sculptor. His drawings have developed the efficacy of a Rodan sketch. ' A sculptor who knows Oregon as Fisher does can do much for the cultural phase of this his toried state. We are short on statues. There might well be two or more in a dozen Oregon cities where there are none.
