HEPPNER GAZETTE Mustang Try For Playoffs Meets Dismal End The thin thread of hope that Heppner High's basketball team had of getting into the district 7-B tourney at Pendleton went up In a cloud of smoke last Fri day as the Mustangs lost to Irrigon in the playoff for third spot In the league. It just wasn't Heppner's night as the hoopmen couldn't seem to hit the twine for points. They made only 20 of their shots from the floor. High point men for Heppner were Alderman and Morris with 7 counters each. This was an entirely different game than the one played Tues day when the Mustangs looked like the better team. To top everything both score clocks went on the blink. The first clock went out of order at the end of the first quarter and the second in the middle of the third pnnel. When the second clock stopped It showed the Mustangs behind by 4 points. A loudspeaker was substituted for the clock and the game resumed. Heppner got off to a bad start, not making a basket till Irrigon got 7 points and ended up be behind 413 at the end of the first period. The Mustangs came back, however, and with the help of Alderman and Ruhl, closed the gap to five points at the end of the first half, 16-21. The Horsemen kept it up in the third stanza and it appeared that they might overtake Irrigon as they came close, 22-25. Then something happened. The clock broke. When the game renewed the Mustangs seemed cold again and from then on they could never get quite close enough. The game ended with Irrigon in front 34-28. The Mustangs walked off the court for the last time this season. They left be hind them a record of 14 wins and 9 loses which is quite an Improvement over last year's 6-16 record.

A neighbor noticed what he thought was smoke com ing out of the building and called for help. What he act ually saw was heavy "fog" oozing out of the elevator from a "fogging" operation conducted that morning to rid the elevator of unwanted bugs. Total loss was one padlock, broken off when entry was gained to the building, and two or three gallons of gas oline used up by a Gazette Times photographer in a wild dash to get some pict ures.
