(C-T Photo) Hilanders Roar To Football Title With 25-7 Victory Burns' Hilanders, powerful on offense and impenetrable on de fense, wrapped up the Greater Oregon League western division championship on Hcppners ro dco grounds Friday night when they defeated the Mustang foot ball team, 25 to 7. It was the third straight div ision title for the inlanders who now will face the state's top ranked A-2 team, Vale, In the playoff for the overall Greater Oregon championship and the right to continue in state play offs. . ... Heppner was "up" for the con test with keen enthusiasm gen erated by the student body. A pep parade and rally, postponed from the homecoming with John Day brought out a goodly num ber of floats and an abundance of school spirit. But on the grid iron, It proved to be the night lor the Scots to have a rung, The visitors took a quick 6 0 lead, ond It held up through most of the first half but the Mustangs were unable to dent the Burns defense. Towards the end of the second quarter, how ever, Heppner gained possession on a fumble in Burns territory and scored with Jim Jacobs plunging from a yard out. The try for point was good, and at halftime, the home crowd and team were cheered with the 7-6 lead. It wasn't to last lontf, how ever. The Hilanders came back quickly in the third quarter to tally on a long run, and added another later in the same period. One of the extra points was made on a placekick. The Mustang offense sputter ed, and they couldn't break through the visitors' stonewall for any long gains. The visitors added one more touchdown in the final . stanza to make the victory decisive. Heppner's grldders will com plete their successful season, which now stands at four wins and three losses, and three wins, one loss in league play, against the Sherman county eleven at Moro Friday night. Scott Brown Back To Visit Old Homo Scott Brown of Portland, who was raised in Heppner, was back to enjoy visits with his sister, Mrs. It A. Thompson, and old friends here this week. Now 85 years of age, he had planned to take his annual deer hunt but was thwarted In that because of a recent operation. Mr. Brown left Heppner at the time of the 1903 flood and worked in Seattle, then returned here in 1919. He has been living In Portland for 14 years. Among his possessions is a picture of Loncroek school when it had 150 pupils. He gets the Gazette-Times each week, he says, and "wouldn't take anything for that paper." After reading it he passes it on to two others and it finally reaches the Vet erans' hospital where seeral others from this area read it. Brown at one time lived on a ranch on Itock Creek. He was the only son in a family of nine children. "I had eight nistcrs and each one ol them had a brother me," he do- dares. Mrs. Thompson is the only sister left. Aithouch he has a nice home in Portland, Brown says that ho likes Heppner much better than Portland and en joys coming back for a visit each year. After an active life, he doesn't like the idleness of retirement. "I would rather pack in wood once in a while," he said. 4-H Achievements To Be Recognized South Morrow county 4-H members and their families will be guests at the annual 4-H Achievement Night party on Frl- day, November 6, in the Hepp ner High school multipurpose room.

Cardinals Spank Echo, 33 to 19; Set Homecoming Rain Gives Cheer To Area Farmers Rains coming this week, al though light, are bringing cheer to ranchers of the area who have sufiered from dry conditions all year. Four consecutive aays, starting Sunday, brought mea surable precipitation, totaling .20 inch, as reported in Heppner by Leonard L. Gilliam, observer. Motai ior tne monrn oi uciooer, however, is still below a half- inch and far below average, making it one of the driest Octo bers in many years. Report for the week or October 22-23 is as follows: lone ' High's football team spanked Echo. 33 to 19. on the Cardinals' gridiron Friday after noon and completed their league season with a record of three wins, two losses, good for third place in the 8-man B circuit The record includes two for feitures from squads that cuuld- n t field teams. Umapine and Helix. Losses were to Riverside and Weston. . Coach Gordon Meyers' crew will entertain the Wheeler coun ty team, which stands with a season's record of five wins, no losses and one tie, on the lone gridiron Saturday afternoon at 2 p-m. in a homecoming clash for the Cardinals. ' . - First half of the Echo-lone game was close, the teams going out at intermission deadlocked, 6-6. The Cards came back with, a touchdown in the third quarter and three in the fourth while Echo scored two more in the fourth. , Long runs brought four of the touchdowns for lone, and the other was via the aerial route. Bob Baker hit paydirt twice for the Cards and Mark and Joe Halvorsen each tallied one touchdown. Stan Holstein took a 15-yard pass from Mark Halv orsen for the other score. An oddity of the game was that lone got the ball three times on unintentional onside kickoffs. Once the ball squibbed off the side of kicker's foot and lone recovered it downfield, and on another kickoff it hit an Echo player and bounded back towards the Cards. In each of the three cases, the lone team was able to eventually turn the onside kicks into touendowns. HI Low Prec.

"There have been no person alities involved, and the cam paigns have been largely based on positive arguments," he said. "we do leei it in the public in terest to call one fact to the at tention of voters. "We are in possession of a ruling indicating that because of age, the present county Judge cannot legally serve out his com plete term of office if elected. His successor would be appoint ed by the governor on the advice of the Republican central com mittee of Morrow county. This means that at least for the last two years of his six-year term the county Judge would not nec essarily be the choice of our Morrow county citizens. I believe this fact should be considered by our voters."
