For The Tigers had a day off yes lerday as they recovered from the rugged Prineville game last Friday. La Grande moved inU third spot with the win trailing only Pendleton and Redmond. The only two reverses suflercd by Franz Haun's gridders have been at the hands of these two teams. The Tigers will literally face their biggest test of the season when they invade Hermiston for their ith conference game. Hermiston opeiates from the lo wa winged T under the direction cf Jim W ard and boasts a big line. The Tigers, who have been out weighed in almost every league contest, will face the biggest team in the league at Hermiston. Ward, despite Hermislon's 20-0 loss to Redmond, is hopeful of an upset over the Tigers. The Her miston roach said his team was unable to stop the Panther's wide runs He'll be in trouble with ihe Tigers if something isn't done to correct that flaw. La Grande, with speedy Dove Carman and Jim Cornell to turn the ends, will be a definite threat outside. Kay Westenskow runs Ihe keep and pitch play as well as env high school quarterback to aid a further outside threat. , Caiman, who is nursing a bruised leg following .. Friday's contest, was the leading ground gainer with 59 yards in 12 car ries, according to llauu. Several other Tiger players are also suf fering from bruises and humps received in .Prineville. AH the players are expected to be ready for the trip, Haun added. llaun dsesn't plan any changes for (he Hermiston game and will go with the same team that start ed last week barriing any unex pected turn of events. Pendleton will be trying to keep its record clean with a win at Baker Friday. Bend will trav el to The Dalles and PrincviMc will be at Redmond as the next to iast week of the season rolls around. v matter of FACT i W' -v - - i I The blocks of limestone and granite used in building the Great Pyramids of Egypt were brought by boat from quarries across the Nile and to the south.

"I think with the winter season for crew chief Ricky Ingleaias to get her in shnne. the Maverick should Rive the Wahoo and Ihe others the same comtietitmn wo did this season, or maybe a little more," he said. .
