Mustangs Triumph
12-0 Over Scrappy
Mac Hi 'B' Team
First and Fourth Per
iod Scores Give Lo
cals Winning Margin
In an extra-conference game here
Saturday afternoon Heppner high's
Mustangs outscored the scrappy "B"
squad of Mac Hi, 12-0. The game
was fast and clean throughout.
The visiting Pioneers received the
ball from the kick-off and were
downed on their own 30-yard line.
Showing much power in the opening
minutes, they ran up two first downs
before the Mustangs gained posses
sion of the ball. A mixture of pass
and power plays took the Mustangs
within two yards of a touchdown
before losing the ball. The Pioneers
kicked from behind their own goal
line, and the locals advanced back
up the field in easy style to set the
ball on the 3-yard line, from where
left half Barratt drove through cen
ter to pay dirt. Padberg failed to
convert.
In the second quarter, the Pioneers
set up a determined drive only to
lose the ball on the Heppner 10-yard
line. The half ended with the Mus
tangs leading 6-0.
The third quarter was a steady
exchange in possession of the ball
with neither team threatening. The
fourth quarter started with the
Mustangs holding the ball and dom
inating it three-fourths of the time.
With eight minutes to play, Heppner
began filling the air with passes and
completed several. This set the ball
on the Pioneer's ten-yard line. Mc
Gintock and Lovgren pushed the
ball up to the two-yard line, and
Barratt went over right tackle for
another scoore. The conversion try
was unsuccessful and the score stood
12-0.
With a minute to go the Mustangs
power-housed their way up to the
two-yard line. Here they were pen
alized and finally lost the ball on
an incomplete end zone pass. '
Heppner showed a good combina
tion of power and passing with the
two ends, Scrivner and Snow, nab
bing seven passes out of ten tries.
Kenny and Padberg showed up well
defensively, backing up the line, as
did linemen Lane, Ferguson, Drake,
and Cohn.
Outstanding offensive player for
Mao Hi was fullback Wheeler.
The next game for Coach Lyle
Swenson's Mustangs will be on the
Arlington sandpile next Friday. Rat
ed as underdogs in this tussle, the
Mustangs will give a good account
of themselves in revenge of the 19
13 whipping administered by the
Honkers earlier in the season.
