Page 8 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, September s, 'Woe is Us' Moans Mustang Coach-Only 17 Gridders Out First Game With Pilot Rock Set . For Next Thursday By James Monahan With the Heppner Mustangs initial game with Pilot Rock little more than a week away, things are looking bad for the horses. The two worst situations are the lack of talent and lack of spirit in the student body for only 17 men turned out for the first scrimmage. Seven lettermen are what the Date of the first Heppner grid game was changed this week, due to conflict with Pendleton Hound-Up activities. It was announced. The game with Pilot Rock will be played on the PR field next Thursday after noon, rather than on Friday as previously announced. bulk of the team is depending on. Among these are only two backs. The most severe blow to the squad and to Heppner high is the fact that Tjnly seventeen boys out of 75 have the initiative and backbone to don the colors of blue and gold, while as smaller neighboring schools have an aver age of, more than 80 turning out. The lack of interest is the clue of the bold faced fact that Hepp ner is not keeping up to its stan dard of being the once great foot ball power it was in past years and what it could be now. If this situation continues sports fans not only will see Heppner crumble from a football power but a basketball might as well. This year Pilot Rock represents itself as not only Umatilla-Morrow county's giant but that of Eastern Oregon as well. Such stars as speedster Darrell Horn and Ladd MacGowan are there to prove it. To counteract such foes Heppner looks toward Skip Ruhl, Ed Brosnan, Jerry Dough erty, and the 14 others to turn the odds. Wednesday night's scrimmage showed some improvement as some plays clicked and defensive tackling stiffened. Positions are not yet certain as some frosh have shown some spectacular play and talent. Support always improves mor ale so the Mustangs would like a good turnout for the Pilot Rock game which is to be held on the Pilot's home field. Hepp ners turn t.o play host is still three weeks away and is to be a night fracas with the Burns Highlanders. Turner, Van Marter and Bry ant, prominent Heppner insur ance firm, starting this year is going to award to the Mustang "11" a plaque on which the play er most valuable to the team will have his name engraved. This honor will continue in years to come. The player to be select ed by team vote. Also to be awarded are trophies to be award ed yearly, to the most valuable back and lineman.
