PR Defeat Drops
Mustangs Out of
State Playoffs
By James Monahan
Coach Larry Dowen's Mus
tangs broke through the first
round of tournament play Thurs
day night with a decisive 44-35
win over St.Joseph, but after a
3 point loss to Pilot Rock in
Friday night's tilt by a score of
49-52, the Heppner hoopsters fell
apart the following night to bow
before the Mitchell Loggers by a
margin of 60-55.
In the St. Joseph game which
was credited by both coaches
and sportcasters as the "most
exciting game" of the day, the
gold clad Heppner quint fought
back from a two-point deficit at
the first quarter's end to surge
ahead at the intermission by an
18-17 score.
Lowell Turner, who played one
of his best games, put Heppner
ahead for the first time on a
pair of free throws after Doherty
of St. Joe had connected on a
single black stripe toss. Skip Ruhl
went up with a jump shot to
push the Mustang total to 4-1.
After this, the two squads traded
basket for basket with the lead
teetering back and forth until
Paul Quaompts put the Jays
ahead for a first quarter lead of
12-10 on a long set shot from the
head of the key.
Both teams switched to tight
zone defenses in the second
stanza with the blue and gold
alternating to a man t0 man at
times. These defensive tactics
kept the scoring down, but with
Heppner capitalizing on their
foul shots, they regained their
lead with a slim one point mar
gin, 18-17.
John and Del Piper led the
Mustangs in the third quarter
as they scored 11 out of the Mus
tangs 14 points. A big factor In
the Mustangs win was when Bill
Doherty took a one-way ticket
to the sidelines with 5 infrac
tions. Heppner drove deep into the
key for good close-up shots but a
poor shooting eye kept the score
from mounting higher. With 59
seconds left the Mustangs went
into a stall and kept control of
the ball except for a triple ex
change of fumbles.

PR Gets Lead
Pilot Rock jumped to an 11-4
lead and from there continued
to keep a jump ahead of the Mus
tangs through out the game to
post the closest winning margin
of the tourney by a 52-49 score.
Ladd McGowan and Duane
Chapman led the Rockets through
out the game by scoring a total
of 29 points between them.
Fouling by the Mustangs hurt
in the first half but they came
back in the last half to come
within two points when Skip Ruhl
dumped, in 2 foul shots to creep
to a 41-32 score with 4:27 min
utes left in the game.
Heppner's last chance in the
game came with 38 seconds when
S. Ruhl stole the ball twice but
'the Rockets margin was too big
to overcome.
In the last game of the tour
ney for the Heppner quint, Mit
chell's Loggers took the com
mand except for a short period
in the fourth quarter, and down
ed the Mustangs by a 60-55 score.
John Piper hooped through 14
points but 35 points by Boles and
Bevers of Mitchell was another
total that the horses could not
overcome.
Lowell Turner, Skip Ruhl,
Lance Tibbies, John Piper, and
Delbert Piper bowed out of the
basketball spotlight for the last
time at the tournament and
should be congratulated for the
fine record and performance they
turned in for the season.

Weather, Politics
Fog Farm Outlook,
Economists Report
Weather and politics are com
bining to make 1956 farm pro
duction and price prospects more
difficult to judge than usual,
say Oregon State college agricul
tural economists in the current
issues of Oregon's Farm and
Market Outlook, now available
from county extension agents.
Farm price support levels and
the much-discussed "soil bank"
are still in the formative stages
with a decision needed by the
end of March to have much ef
fect on spring plantings, says M.
D. Thomas, agricultural econo
mist. Another unanswered ques
tion is the full extent of winter
damage to Pacific Coast fruit and
nut crops.
Approval of some form of soil
bank could strengthen markets
considerably for Oregon seed
growers if large national acre
ages are planted to protective
grass and legume crops, Thomas
states. Seeds that seem to re
ceive the biggest call include
wheatgrass, bromegrass, orchard
grass, perennial ryegrass, tall fes
cue, alfalfa, red clover, and as
sike clover.
More common ryegrass, vetch
and crimson clover seed might
also be used, especially on cot
ton and corn land.' The econo
mists report seed supplies are
quite limited for brome, redtop,
orchardgrass, and wheatgrasses.
Supplies are fairly large, for
other grasses, clover, and alfalfa
seed.
November freeze and winter
damage may bring local fresh
fruit shortages, according to
Roland Groder, OSC marketing
specialist. A few local shortages,
such as certain cane berries, may
affect national prices. But North
west production of most fruits is
only a fraction of national totals
and will have minor effects on
prices, Groder explains.
The nation's 1956 strawberry
crop still may be as large as
the near-record 1955 tonnage, de
spite Northwest freeze damage,
says Groder. Larger acreages
planned in other sates last fall
could easily make up the differ
ence. Also, the carryover of
