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.
