'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. The method
of selection for these is to be
decided later.
