r^Jàsssx, JOURNAL The NYSSA Published at Nyssa, Oregon, GATEWAY TO THE OWYHEE AND BLACK CANYON IRRIGATION PROJECTS _________________ IN THE HEART OF OREGON’S SUGAR EMPIRE_____________ VOLUM E X X X V , NO. 12 Fastest Growing City In Oregon NYSSA, OREGON, TH URSDAY, MARCH 28, 1940 Relay Meet To Open Tomorrow Weather permitting, the Nyssa High school track squad will make their 1940 debut here Friday when they meet Adrian in a dual relay meet. Six events will be run off on the program which is scheduled to begin promptly at 3:00 p. m. Running in the 440 relay for Nys sa will be Percy Kelch, Clyde Smith. Blair Hendricks and Dean Wyckoff. In the distance medley Norbert Sar azin, Gerald Warren, Frank John son and George Turner will carry the colors for the home team. In the sprint medley will be Hen dricks, Sarazin, Bill Fagan and Stanley Ray. Eddie Frost, James Chadd, Tur ner and Warren will run the two- mile relay. Fifth on the program will be the 880-yard relay with Kelch, Hendricks, Wyckoff and Ray participating. The shotput relay will complete the program with Harold Taylor, Herb Smith, Joe Counsil and Junior DeGrofft on the team. Asked as to the prospects of pull ing a surprise out of his bag of tricks in tomorrow’s meet. Coach Bob Parke was non-commital. An “Oh, I don’t know," was his only comment, but a deep, mysterious smile might indicate a big surprise for the Adrian Pirate squad. Weather conditions have serious ly hindered practice this week, and so the Nyssa squad is not yet in top condition. A series of meets, however, should put the boys In shape soon. NYSSA DROPS OUT OF BALL LEAGUE Nyssa and Boise dropped out of the Idaho-Oregon baseball league at a meeting held last night in Pay ette, leaving a six-team league which will include Ontario, Vale, Payette, Nampa and Caldwell in the league with either Emmett or Weiser tak ing the sixth place. Lack of players, and the constant cost of a team is ascribed to the lack of an entry from Nyssa. The team last year costing the local Chamber of Commerce $200 and playing only half of the scheduled games.
