Mustangs Continue
In Hoop Slump
Dropping 2 More
By Jim Morris
Heppner vs. Umatilla
Heppner High's Mustangs con
tinued in their slump Friday
night, January 4, as they dropped
a close one to the Umatilla Vik
ings by a score of 50-56 in an
overtime tilt.
The Vikings outscored the
Mustangs in the first panel, 12-5,
and had widened their lead to 9
points by halftime.
After the intermission the Mus.
tangs came back strong as they
outscored the Vikings and nar
rowed their lead to 4 points by
the end of the third quadrant.
Playing a strong last quarter,
the Mustangs took a one point
lead with 4 seconds left. But the
Vikings got one counter on a
free-throw by Remillard.
In the over-time period the
Mustangs defense collapsed as
the Vikings scored 8 and held the
Mustangs to 2.
High scorer for Umatilla was
Ross with 22. High for Heppner
was Ruhl with 14.
Heppner vs. St. Joseph
The Mustangs dropped their
seventh game of the year on
Saturday, January 5, to the St.
Joseph Bluejays by the count of
57-49.
The Mustangs and "Jays"
fought on even terms through the
first half as the Mustangs scored
16 in the first quarter and 9
in the second to the Bluejays 14
In the first and 12 in the second
stanza.
In the second half the Mustangs
were outfought by the "Jays" and
were never able to take a lead
as they went down in defeat to
the St. Joseph quintet.
Rodighiers potted 16 to take
high point honors for the Blue
Jays. Ruhl was high for Heppner
with 18.
The Mustangs have dropped
seven games, but they have lost
5 of these by a very small mar
gin, and they have lost only one
league tilt. They have thirteen
league games left and with con
tinued support they will be "gun
ning" for the league champion
ship all the way.
Upcoming games this week in
clude Boardman here on Friday
night and lone on the lone floor
Saturday night. Both have the
makings of good contests.
NUMBER OF BUSINESSES IN HEPPNER
INCREASES 7.7 DURING PAST YEAR
"There are 7.7 more business
concerns in Heppner today than
there were in 1955", says J. Harry
White, district manager of the
Portland office of Dun & Brad-
street. Basing his facts upon the
figures in the current November,
1956 reference book, White points
out that in 1955, 52 businesses
were listed by Dun & Bradstreet;
today there are 56 enterprises.
Each January business con
cerns in all parts of the United
States receive from Dun & Brad-
street requests for their annual
financial statements. This year
the number of requests going out
nation-wide will approximate
three million.
The reference book, incident
ally, lists only manufacturers,
wholesalers, retailers, and some
service companies, sucn as
laundries and gasoline service
stations. Thus the total number
of business in Heppner and Mor
row county is actually higher
than the figures quoted.
White stated that during the
past year 39 changes were made
in the reference book listings of
Heppner businesses. These chan
ges resulted from adding the
names of new businesses, and
deleting the names of those who
discontinued, as well as account
ing for changes in ownership,
trade names and credit ratings.
As one phase in revising credit
ratings and keeping them up-to-date,
every year the credit report,
ing agency writes to all business
es who are listed in the reference
book to request their year-end
balance sheets. White says that
this letter speeds up the flow
and processing of some of the
facts on which credit ratings are
based. "More than 95 per cent
of all commercial transactions in
the U. S. are made on credit
terms," he added "The purpose
of the reference book is to help
buslnes men In any part of the
country make credit decisions to
ship or sell to businesses men in
any other part of the country." '
The credit rating is one of the
key factors in approving orders to
ship or sell. The rating consists
of two symbols. The first, a letter
of the alphabet, indicates finan
cial strength or tangible net
worth of the business. The sec
ond symbol is a number. It re
flects a composite, appraisal of
the background, operations, fi
nanclal stability, and payment
record.
