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.

McNob Elevator Fire
Report Proves "Dud"
A report Saturday after
noon that the McNab elevat
or of the Morrow County
Grain Growers was on fire
caused considerable excite
ment Jor a while but did
surprisingly little damage.
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. Local Heart Drive
