i Page 8 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, January 24, 1957 Mustangs Break . Losing Streak, Beat Lexington By Jim Morris LEXINGTON Heppner's Mustangs finally got their foul shooting average above 50 on Friday, January 18, as they bopped the Lexington Jack rabbits by a score of 48-40. The Mustancs opened the game by taking a commanding 9-6'lead in the first quarter. In the second stanza the teams fought on even terms an both scored eight to leave the score 17-14 at the half. The horsemen came back strong in the third period and by the end of that quadrant they had galloped to a 36-22 edge. The Jackrabbits tried a full court press in the last period, but the ball handling of the Mus tangs proved to be too much for the 'Rabbits as they went down to defeat.

ECHO The Heppner high school Mus tangs took to the road, Saturday, January 19, as they traveled to Echo to take on the high-ranking Cougars and ended up by getting "clawed" 58-31. The Cougars and the Horsemen fought on even terms in the first quarter as neither team could seem to get their offenses to click. The quadrant ended 14-11 in favor of Echo. In the second panel the Mustangs dropped in 8 points to the 10 for the Cougars. After the half the Echo quint seemed to hit their old pace and really rolled as they held the Mustangs to 6 while they potted 16 for themselves. In the last stanza the Mustangs completely folded under the pressure of the Cougars and they never could get back into the game.

The source of rabies in the Bend area has not been traced and may have originated elsewhere in Oregon, officials state. A rabid cat was found In Bend recently. Authorities instituted complete control measures and there is hope of preventing the spread to other areas. At this time all animal bites of humans should be reported to a physician immediately. Animais bitten or havine fought witn strays should be taken to a local veterinarian promptly. Rabies can be prevented by inoculation of animals prior to infection for a nominal sum. Orecon residents are cautioned against taking unvaccinated pets into the Bend area at present and against removing animals from the Quarantined area until the disease is controlled. Report strays to authorities and do not acquire any pets from unknown sources at this time. o - Gem Club Members See Rock Display The Morrow County Gem and Mineral club met lasfweek at the home of its president John New man and extended honorary membership to Mr. and Mrs. Mil ton Morgan of Monument.
