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.

High point honors were copped
by Skip Ruhl and John Piper who
totaled 11 each while George
DeLapp's cats jumped to a quick
4-0 lead and constantly kept a
jump ahead of a ever-pressing
Heppner attack.
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.

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 plays host to a visit

and travels to Irrigon the follow
ing night to cope with 'Big Joe"
Mann and company.
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.

MANY SOLONS TO RETURN
Well the Legislative Raven
Club of the 1955 session is kaput.
All busted up. 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.
TAX RECEIFTS UP
Ray Smith, chairman of the
Oregon State Tax Commission,
said Tuesday both personal and
corporate income taxes during
the present fiscal year through
December 31, 1955 were almost $1
million more than collections
during the same period last year.
Total collections were $26,019,
368 and $22,059,079 for the first
six months of the 1954-55 fiscal
year.
Personal 1 ncome payments
were $17,551,661, while in the
same period in 195-1 they totaled
$14,856,617.
Corporate excise tax returns
during the first six months of
the present fiscal year were $7,
935,799, as compared with $6,509,-

said GMC chief engineer C. V.

"These dampers not only mini

keep the wheels in contact with
the road surface even under the
most severe driving conditions,
thus giving the driver more posi
