PagtS Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, September 6, 1956 rid P First Home Grid Battle to Be With Wallowa Heppner's Mustangs open their grid season Friday night on the rodeo field against the Wallowa high school squad, and though prospects for coach Jim Mallon's squad didn't look too bight at the start of training sessions, they have picked up greatly in the last few days. Handicapped by a turnout of only an average of 10 men dur inn the first week of drill, ses sions this week found 23 in unl form and Mallon said today that the boys attitude is good. They know they face a tough team in their first game, but are plan nine on making a fight out of it, Mallon says he expects to have 26 or 27 men on the regular list by next week. Friday night's starting lineup will probably find Dean Connor at right end, Len Ray Schwarz, rieht tackle; Eddie Groshens, right guard; Jerry Dougherty, center; Jim Walker, left guard Kay Corbin, left tackle; Dick Robison at right end. In the back 'field will be Duane Alderman at quarter, Dick Ruhl and Al Esch at halfback posts and Jim Mor ris at full. Nine of the starting 11 are let terrnen, and though the boys still lack conditioning, they are fairly well experienced. A regular starter at end, Vie Groshens, will be unable to play in the first game due to a pulled muscle. Mallon said two fresh men who are expected to see action, Gary Hult, Tommy Howell, look good and have a good chance of lettering this year, Gary Jones, a guard, won't be in in the first game, but is looking good and should be valuable as the season progresses. Others who will probably see action are Steve Flug, Bob Huff man and Jesse Smallwood. The Mustangs will play three games, all at home, before en countering their first league team, Umatilla on Sept. 28. On the next two successive week ends the squad will play Her miston JV and Maupln on the rodeo field. Game time is 8 p. m.
