Pag6 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, March 29, 1956 mis Take Over at Heppner Spring Sp By James Monahan Baseball, track and tennis have gained a foothold at Heppnor high school as "ole man weather" gives spring sports the go-ahead signal with good weather. Coach Larry Dowen's diamond squad has completed their first week of practice with another week's workout on schedule be fore their opening game with the Fossil Falcons on the Mus tang's home field, April 3. W. J. Popham, who has taken the tennis helm as instructor, has reported that 17 students have signed up for the game, rractice started on the Heppner courts last Thursday with Jay Sumner and David Cox returning as last year's only remaining lettermen. Arrangements have been made for four matches this season. Coach "Dad" Popham stated that llermlston and Umatilla have ar ranged "home and away" game tschedule. Three of the four dates are set. The present schedule Is as follows: April 16 Umatilla. April 23 Umatilla April 30 Hermiston. Big events have been scheduled on track mentor Jim Mallon's agenda but he is faced with the problem of lack of material. Only seven cindermen have turned out Ho far this season. One big factor that will be a stinging stab in Heppner's side Is the fact that Heppner will give away 180 track ribbons at the three track meets to be held here and with only seven tracksters to fiht for them. . . Well, the odds don't shape up for the blue and gold. This weekend Coach Mallon takes his thinclads to the Wil lamette Relays in Salem. Heppner has entered 8 events which include: javelin, broad jump, mile, polevault, high jump, 120 yard high hurdle, two-mile relay, and the high school sprint medley. Mike Monahan has taken over duties as the century man in the mile and also is on the two mile relay squad. "Skip" Ruhl has tagged posi tions in the sprint medley team, two-mile relay squad and will enter the broadjump competi tion. Entered In sprint medley and the relay crew is a newcomer t0 the sport, Rodger Harris, who is credited as being a very fast short distance man. Dean Connor takes over his old favorite of polevaulting and has gained a berth on the relay squad. Holding down the high hurdles and entered in the sprint medley will be Jim Morris, a sophomore, who has promising track qualities. r AT HEPPNER MARKET is Folgers Fine Grind Takes A Less To Make 13 Bw& " EACH BRADLEY'S PIES Cherry end Apple Largo 8" Size 49c EACH easter mm AT COMPETITIVE PRICES TURKEYS U.
