Coach Larry Dowen's Mustangs
pulled the biggest upset of the
month as they dumped the Stan
field Tigers twice last weekend
by 50-44 and 45-38 scores to cinch
a berth in the District 7-B tourna
ment. Already beaten on their home
floor by the Tigers the Mustangs
took the floor as definite under
dogs the first night and looked
just like that at the first half's
end as the scoreboard showed a
22-16 total for the Stanfield
Tigers.
Heppner's blue and gold quint
kept within shooting distance at
the first quarters end but lost a
potential lead at the free throw
line as they connected on only 1
out of 5 attempts. "Skip" Ruhl
and John riper scored 2 buckets
apiece for all of Heppner's scor
ing while Stanfield's scoring was
more evenly divided to bring the
first quarter score to 10-9.
Six points separated the Mus
tangs from the Stanfield hoop
sters at the Intermission with a
22-16 score.
Breaking loose with a basket
barrage and filling the hoop with
18 points, two more than they
had scored in the entire first half,
the Musangs slowly started their
comeback. Tibbies and J. Piper
led the horses with 8 points each
while D. Piper scored the extra
two pointer. Stanfield didn't
quite fall behind but held only a
3 point lead with a 37-31 score
board showing.
Heppner played a defensive
game the last quarter, holding
the "striped cats" to only 7 points
while the Heppner hoopsters kept
up their cannonade and rolled
through 16 points for the final
winning margin of 50-41.
John Piper captured the high
point laurels for Heppner with
16 points while Norm Evans took
honors for the Tigers with 14.
A flip of the coin decided the
play-off site and lone was chosen
by Ouaeh Dowen.
The first quarter's end was vir
tually a repeat of the night be
fore as the buzzer rang at a 1010
tie with Tibbies leading the way
with 5 tallies. Stanfield kept in
the game the first period by hit
ting 6 out of 7 attempts.
Tibbies led the Mustangs In
the second stanza with a 6 point
burst on 2 tipins and a pair of

Two political announcements
made this week had a stirring
effect on several potential candi
dates for top state offices who
were undecided and awaiting de
velopments in the filing of can
didates. The first w?s Governor Elmo
E. Smith's promise that he would
make a vigorous state-wide cam
paign for the Republian nomina
tion for governor. This practically
precluded a three-cornered GOP
primary scope in the gubernator
ial race.
The Oregon Republican "Ways
and Means" committee was still
under shock from Rep. Norblad's
announcement that he would not
run for congress to succeed him
self in the 1st District, but would
file for governor. They were de
pending on an undisturbed pro
gram which included Elmo E.
Smith as the one who would be
just right for the form-fitting gu
bernatorial chair.
The other announcement was
that of Terry Schrunk, Sheriff of
Multnomah County, who came
out for mayor of Portland. This
pleased the state candidates who
wanted the heavy vote getter to
stay far from their campaigns.
Secretary of State Earl T. New
bry could have a free ride if he
should file for congress in the
1st District. His term as Secre
tary of State does not expire until
January, His past service on the
board of control with Sig Unan
dor and his cooperative work
with Governor Smith would keep
him from running against either
of them. He has stated that he
would not oppose them on ac
count of the warm friendship he
feels for each of them.
HISTORIANS ORGANIZE
The Oregon Conference of His
torians was organized in a meet

week.

STATE LIQUOR HEADS GO
When you are reading this
piece Oregon may have two or
three new liquor commissioners
and its first director of the motor
vehicle department all appointed
by the governor. Governor Elmo
E. Smith has been working on
these appointments for several

The 1955 legislature took the
large motor vehicle department
from the secretary of state and
gave the appointment of its di
rector to the governor.
A "courtesy" resignation from
the Oregon Stale Liquor Commis
sion was received by Gov. Elmo
E. Smith from commissioners J.
H. Sroufe, Portland, whose term
expires Jan. 1, 1960 and Lowell
