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

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.

Ken Peck's faith that Ar

enough snow for skiing by
Thanksgiving seemed to be
bearing results this week. A
half-inch to an inch of snow
was reported at the ski run
over the week-end, and it is
possible that with the contin
ued cool weather there is more
there now.
Work crews have now al
most completed the ski run
trail to the top of the moun
tain to give a much longer
course for the coming season.
Peck said.
Meanwhile, financing plans
of the Arbuckle Mountain
Corporation are advancing.
Stock totaling more than $3100

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.

Lamb Applauds
'Clean Campaign
Al Lamb, Morrow county Dem
ocratic Central committee chair
man said Wednesday that he
wished to congratulate candi
dates of both parties on their
clean conduct of the election
campaign now closing.
"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."
