Y 2- HEPPNER GAZETTE -TIMES, Thursday. September 27. 1362 Mustangs Rap Condon, 22 to 7 Pulling out all the stops, Heppner High ran roughshod over Condon hore Friday night in an exciting football game. 22-7, before a crowd of record setting size, topping even the number of spectators who wit nessed the home opener a week earlier. Dominating the plucky Blue Devils in every department, the Mustangs registered a safety and a touchdown in the second quarter after thwarting a Condon touchdown bid in the first per lod. They added two more touchdowns In the third stanza and with extra points made on two of three tries, finished scor ing at that point. Condon came back with Us lone score in the fourth quarter and made the point. The Blue Devils recovered a fumble early in the game that gave them the ball on the Heppner five, but they couldn't put it over and the Mustangs took over. On a sustained march; the home eleven went to Con don's 5-yard stripe, being culm lnated by a long gainer on a neatly-executed handoff play while Quarterback Ken Smith swept wide with the ball, then giving it to Shan Applegate. An illegal procedure penalty after a couple of futile running attempts forced the Mustangs to give possession to Con don though, and the Blue Devlis took over within their own 10-yard line. On the first play the ball went to Dennis Ilerbison. John Porter, who has been a one-man gang for Heppner in his first grid year here after transferring from Pilot Rock, and David Hanna another defensive stalwart, broke through and nailed Ilerbison in the end zone for a safety and two points. After Condon took its free kick after the safety from its own 20, Heppner moved into scoring position again. Applegate, show ing his ability as a fleet-footed broken field runner for the first time In this game, romped over on a long run alter he broke ttirougn i no line, was momen tarily hailed, then twisted free of the defenders to go all the way. LeKoy Gardner's running try for the extra point was halted short of the goal line. Gardner sparkled in action that came alter halllime. lie in tercepted a puss on the 23-yard line of the Blue Devils and went the distance to paydirt. Quarter hack Smith plunged for the ex tra point. Lee Padberg, victim of three blocked punts against Knlerprise. got a measure ol revenge against Condon when he took a part ially blocked mini of the Blue Devils in the third period on Ihe Condon 47. The Blue Devils held the Mustangs on the next series of downs but it set the stage for the last Heppner touchdown. Heppner punted on fourth down, and Condon took over deep in its territory. A fumble on the 15 resulted in Heppner regaining possession at that point, bul a clipping penalty set the Mustangs back after Applegale had gained nine yards. Gardner rambled 11 yards to the Condon eight, then 'on suc cessive carries, Applegate and Smith made it to the two. Larry Meussig gained one and then went over from the one yard line. A pass to Gardner was complete for the extra point. It looked as if the Mustangs would go again for paydirt when Applegate look a Condon punt In the fourth quarter on the Heppner 15 and ran it to the Condon 13, but the Mustang re serves came in at this point and they couldn't dent the Blue Devils' defense. Denny Ilerbison brought the only Condon touchdown when he broke away from the Heppner 4.j and went all the way. Jim O'Meara made the conversion point. Applegate made a total of 119 yards running in this game, ac counting for a goodly portion of Heppner's 3G0 yards on total offense. Condon made 112 yards. The Mustangs showed their dom ination In first downs, too, mak ing 11 to 2 for Condon. Coach Jim Sutherland was pretty happy with his team's better play in this game, stating that he felt the "blocking was crisper, tackling was good ana the pass defense was tougher." Padberg averaged 45 yards on two punts, which was a good performance and he got better protection than he was afforded in the Enterprise game. The coach said that Porter did a "tremendous lob and also cited Dick Springer and Du buque for their fine play on de fense. Dubuque was hurt in the game, suffering a wrenched knee, I that may keep him out of the game with Umatilla this week. Gardner and Applegate were both praised by the coach for their running.

The Oregon State Board of Health told Oregon's hunters this week that more deaths from heart attacks occur in Oregon while hunting than those caused by gunshot wounds. This does not include those hunters who have heart attacks and recover. Oregon's health authorities said that proper physical con ditioning and trip planning should be as important a part of hunting safety as the proper handling of firearms. "This precaution applies es pecially to those with a history of previous heart disease, those over 4t years of age, overweight persons and those whose daily activities do not require regular moderate exercise," said Richard H. Wilcox, M. D., Oregon's health oincer. A Dhvsical rhprkim narticn. larly is recommended for this group oetore undertaking stren uous activities. Thp hnnrrt rinoc not suggest that the avid hunter neeas to give up his favorite sport if he is a cardiac risk, but cautions that there are some common sense rules that may prevent a heart attack or lessen the severity of an attack that might occur far from medical at tention. The Oregon State Board of Health commended the Oregon Heart Association for preparing the following guide to assist the potential heart disease victim in planning his hunting trip: 1. Plan ahead. Discuss your proposed hunting trip with your physician, including the type of terrain and distances to be trav eled. Start a regular physical fit ness exercise program (within your capacity) a month or two before the trip. List your medi cations and tell a companion if you have a heart condition. 2. Plan for Dlentv of rpst. Rp. duced atmospheric oxygen at higher altitudes may require time for adjustment in breath ing. 3. Plan your camp for com fort. A hunting trip need not be a survival test. Camp near available water. Dress for cold or rainy weather; it's easier to remove heavy clothing than add clothes vou didn't bring. Review simple first aid rules. 4. Plan the hunt strategy in advance. Heart patients should take a stand near camp and let the others do the driving. Keep medication for heart pain in a handy pocket and inform your hunting companion where it is, what it is for and how to use it in an emergency. 5. Plan to act in emergencies. On the hike back to camp, take it easy and stop to rest frequent ly. Allow plenty of time. If lost, stay put, don't wander, don't panic; relax and wait until someone shows up to lead you out. The board recommends the fol lowing procedures for a heart attack victim; Make him com fortable; keep him warm; give prescribed medicine as directed; get the patient to medical at tention immediately with a min imum of exertion no walking or riding a horse.
