LOCALS, 2D- Heppner Turns Breaks Into Touchdowns in Hard Fought Game. PENDLETON IS NEXT Tough Game Expected With "Buck aroos" Saturday; Hermiston, lone Games Slated. REMAINING GAMES H. H. S. Football Schedule Oct. 15 Pendleton at Pendle ton. Oct 21 Hermiston at Heppner. Oct 28 Pilot Rock at Pilot Rock. Nov. 4 lone at Heppner. Nov. 11 Hermiston at Hermis ton. Results of Games Played Condon 6, Heppner 13. Pilot Rock 12, Heppner 0. Athena 0, Heppner 20. Taking advantage of scoring op portunities on three occasions Heppner high's football warriors put across as many touchdowns and converted the extra point on two of them, to defeat the heavier visiting Athena high team, 20-0, on Rodeo field Saturday afternoon, the first defeat sustained by the Athenans this season. Heppner scored first In the sec ond quarter when Curtis Thomson took Roy Gentry's short pass over the left side of the line from short ly behind the 20-yard line and raced the few remaining steps over the goal line. Jimmy Furlong bucked the ball across for the extra point. Again in the third quarter, after the ball had been worked deep into Athena territory by a succession of line bucks and end runs in which each of the backfield men made good gains, Thomson, on a delayed reverse buck, stepped off ten yards for another touchdown. The try for extra point failed and the score was 13-0. Intercepts Pass. Then late in the fourth quarter when Athena attempted a pass deep in their own territory as a fin al scoring effort, Jimmy Furlong, running at top speed, grabbed the ball and raced twenty, yards to the goal. He again bucked the ball across for the extra point, and the 1 final score of 20-0. But Heppner had to fight every inch of their way to the victory. In the first quarter an Athena score seemed almost inevitable as they took the ball clear to the Heppner ten yard marker on a succession of sweeping end runs and line bucks. At this point the Heppner line stif fened and held them for downs. And on several occasions it looked like "Speed" Jenkins, Athena safety, was away for a touchdown on beau tiful returns of Heppner punts, to give the spectators the prettiest.ex hibition of broken field running of the game. Twice he was stopped only by Gentry, Heppner safety, af ter evading all other Heppner tack lers. Both teams fought hard and clean. The few penalties called be ing for off-side plays or two incom pleted passes in the same series of downs. Edwin Ingles of Lexing ton refereed, Gay M. Anderson was umpire and Harold Buhman head linesman. Hard Game Saturday. Next Saturday Coach Mabee's boys go to Pendleton to play what is considered the toughest game of the season against the Pendleton high aggregation. Having a much larger school to draw from, Pendle ton always has a heavy team and lots of reserves. They got a Jolt last year When they came to Hepp ner and were able to win only by a slight margin. Though the local boys have gone through three tough games in the last three weeks, they are ready to extend themselves against Pendleton and hope to re turn with a bunch of "Buck" scalps. The following Friday the boys will meet Hermiston on the local gridiron. This is another game that promises to be fraught with peril, as Hermiston last week de feated the Pilot Rock team that the week before trounced Hepnper, 12-0. Heppner gets a chance to retaliate this defeat when the boys go back to Pilot Rock to play on the 28th. The next Friday, November 4, they play at home again, meeting lone who so far have had a successful season. The wind-up game of the season will be played at Hermiston on the 11th, Armistice day, an an nual classlo that always makes a strong bid for spectator interest. The line-up against Athena: Wrex Langdon, Claire Phelan, ends; Don Cowdrey, Harold Ayers, tackles; Ted McMurdo, Reese Burkenblne, guards; Lyle Cowdrey, center; Billy Schwarz, quarterback; Roy Gentry, Louis Gilliam, halves; Jimmy Fur long, fullback.
