"We expected to be weak on pass defense, though, because we haven't practiced on it yet," he said. The coach credited the line with a fine job and particularly cited Joe Halvorsen and Marv Padbcrg as outstanding. Three ends, Jim Martin, Heimbigner and Rollie Ekstrom, were prais ed for their good work, and Gary Morgan and Madden were "tre mendous" as linebackers, the coach declared. With praise also for the backs, Coach Biehl said, "We looked a lot better than I dared hope." Culver was outclassed in all departments except passing and they completed 11 of 20 In that department, a good average in any game. lone attempted only six passes and completed two. Each team intercepted one pass, lone fumbled five times and lost the ball twice; Culver fumbled four times and lost possession twice also. lone suffered six penalties for a total of 60 yards and Culver was whistled for seven infrac tions or 44 yards.

USED GUMS RIFLES SHOTGUNS FOR SALE GILLIAM & BISBEE 8l With an all-veteran team specializing in quick openers and razzle dazzle play, the En terprise Savages defeated Hepp ner's Mustangs, 20 to 0, in Hepp ner High's home opener Friday night. But after the game, Coach Mel Victor of Enterprise paid tribute to the Mustangs when he said that they were "300 per cent better than last year." Enter prise defeated Heppner last year at Enterprise, 27 to 0. There was nothing lopsided about the ball game unless it was the final score. The Mus tangs picked up five first downs in the contest as against six for the winners and made 102 yards from scrimmage as compared to 172 for Enterprise. Enterprise scored on the last play of the first quarter when Ron Waggner pitched a pass to Howard Talbott into the end zone from 15 yards out. This came after Waggner had inter cepted a Heppner pass near mid field and returned it to the Hepp ner 30. Waggner gained 12 on an end run to the 18 and a couple more plays ensued before the touchdown pass was tossed. Second touchdown for the Savages came in the second after Heppner had knocked on the door but had been thwarted. Lee Padberg, playing his first game for the Mustangs, rambled near ly 60 yards after taking the kickoff after the first Savage touchdown. He took the ball deep in his own territory, fumbled it momentarily, then zipped through the would-be tacklers and headed down the sidelines. Just as he appeared to be head ed for the end zone, an Enter prise tackier made a shoestring SDace travel is what is eoins to separate the men from us cowards. dive and tripped him on the 28. The Mustangs advanced from there to the 8-yard stripe be fore they were stalled. Gathering their horsepower at this point, Enterprise started a sustained drive that resulted in another seven points for them. Feature of the drive was a lateral-forward pass play that saw one pass going across al most the width of the field and then a long forward that was caught deep in Heppner territory. They punched out yardage to bring the ball to the one-yard line where Jody Williamson cracked over. The pass to End Jerry Batley was good for the extra point, and halftime score stood 14-0 for the visitors. Blocked punts three of them plagued the Mustangs in the second half, and Padberg was the victim each time. At least one, though, came partly be cause of a high pass from center. Another was not really blocked since the ball sailed off Pad berg's foot with a low trajectory and hit one of his own team mates in the back of the head. However, the Savages poured back on Padberg and didn't give him much time to get the boots away. The first punt was blocked on the Heppner 20. Sam Marks rolled for 12 for Enterprise and John Butner picked up six more to take it to the Heppner 2-yard line. Here the worth of big John- Porter of Heppner, a defensive standout through the game, was very noticeable. He was respon sible for a couple of nice stops that not only held the Savages but pushed them back. However, on fourth down, the Enterprise squad went to the air and Bat- ley grabbed a pass in the end zone for the last touchdown of the game. The point try was no good. Heppner was handicapped by lack of offensive drive but the Mustangs looked strong on de fense. At the start of the game it looked as if their offense would be clicking and LeRoy Gardner rambled on end sweeps to give the home eleven two quick first downs, but it bogged down later in the contest. Coach Jim Sutherland said that the greatest weakness ap parent to him was that the boys were missing their blocks. "Our downfield blocking was pretty bad," he said. He cited John Porter for his excellent play on defense despite an in jury in practice that had made his appearance in the game un certain. "Gardner ran well and Dick Springer did a real job on de fense," he said. If the result of-the game was disappointing, the size of the crowd wasn't. There were per haps 500 on hand for the first game, one of the largest of re cent years. Lowell Gribble, as sisted by Fred Gimbel, handled the public address system and added to the enjoyment. Principal Gordon Pratt and the coaches attributed support of merchants in advertising and publicizing the game for help ing attract the large crowd. Heppner HUNTERS !
