6 HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday, November 1, 1962 Burns Hard Put To Top Heppnerin 20-13 Win Heppner High's football team lost the ball game but won the acclaim of a thrilled Homecom ing crowd of record size here Friday night when the Burns Hi landers squeaked out a 20-13 victory. The determined Must a n g s swept the play away from the highly-favored visitors early in the game, but saw hopes of a Cheater Oregon division cham pionship fade in the wake of a deadly passing combinat 1 o n, Quarterback Tom Madarieta to a sticky-fingered end with fly ing feet, Chris Palmer. All three of the Burns touch downs came on passed, two of them long ones, straight down field, with the Heppner defend ers napping and the' third one a screen pass that big John Porter tried desperately to break up when he rushed the passer, only to find his way barred by a Hilandcr blocker. Spectators found Burns' of fense as unique as It was scout ed to be, but the Heppner coach es met it with a rather unique defense of their own. They matched the strongly unbal anced spread with a single file defense that broke out to meet the quick-charging offense ac cording to tin? shift that Burns sprung on them. The defense worked very well despite a few long gainers that they yielded to the visitors. The Heppner de fense bent a few times, but ex cept for the three passes thai went over them, it never broke. It was clear from the start that the Mustangs were up for the game and intended to win. They took the kickoif and from their own 25 rolled up four first downs on running plays with LcRoy Gardner, Shan Applegate and Fred Harnden doing most of the ball packing. When it appeared that Burns bad them slopped, Lee Padberg took a pass that was good for a first down on the Burns 15. Luck ran out here, though, wlie, Quarterback Ken Smith, who had been doing a fine job of ball handling, fumbled. He recovered but on the next play Heppner was penalized 15 yards, and then Smith tossed a pass to Applegate. It was right to the target, but Shan apparently lost it in the lights and didn't see it at all. It seemed as if it would be a sure touchdown, but it went Incomplete. Alter yielding to Burns, the Mustangs met the "weirdo" of fense and held, then took over again. A pass was completed to Padberg and gave Heppner the ball on the Burns DO, going from the Heppner '10. The threat was stopped when the inlanders intercepted a pass on the 20, but Kay Nichols immediately relum ed the compliment by snatching a Burns pass on the Burns 2;i. A pass complete to Larry Mucs sig brought the first blood of the ball game. Point try was no good and Heppner led, (i-0. II didn't take long for Burns in iTit the neutralizing score. The highly-touted oiiailcrliack, Madarieta, spotted Palmer alone far downfield and rilled a long one. Palmer folded the ball in to his arms and zipped away handily from pursuing Heppner defenders, going all the way WE HAVE IT! -3 & S 8 S - 1 with the miracle of SUPER FLOOR HEAT!

DICK 2G0 Linden Way Heppner, Ore. I : Their point try was no good. Before halftime, Madarieta rifled a screen pass to Palmer from the Heppner 40, and the play had six points written all over it. The Mustangs were well accounted for by Burns blockers and Palmer went the distance unmolested. Try for point was another pass, this time to Jim Bosch, and it was good. The first half took a fatal toll on Heppner. Doug Dubuque, back in action after being on the In jury list for a long time, was sidelined on the second play of the game when the injury was aggravated, and Shan Applegate a sparkplug in the play, had to leave the game with a knee injury. His loss may have meant the difference between victory and defeat. The amazing Mustangs work ed hard to corral Burns in the third quarter and kept the pres sure on them, holding them deep in Burns territory while threat ening a few times themselves to score. Dick Springer, a demon on de fense this night, recovered a fumble on the Burns 15. Gard ner then took a pitchout and rolled to the 3. On a second carry he gained a half-yard, and then on third down, Smith faded back to pass. He was caught on the 15 and this threat was over, but the Mustangs didn't quit. Padberg, a thorn in Burns' side all night, intercepted a pass on the Burns 42 and returned it to their 2G, but a drive couldn't get going from that point. Short ly after, that deadly Madarieta Palmer clicked again with the Heppner defenders unable to cover the sparkling end, and he was gone, making it 19-6. Pass to Mike Wilber was good tor the PAT. Though time waned, the Mus tangs never quit. Muessig broke away for a long run and then Nichols went off tackle for 35 yards to the Burns 10 but were halted here. Later, with only about a minute to nlay, Mues sig took a pass that started from midlield and went the distance, bringing the score to a respec table 20-12. The extra point was good and the final total was 20-13. Marlene Fetsch was chosen Homecoming queen by the foot ball team and she was crowned at halftime by Co-captains Springer, Porter and the limping Applegate. Princesses were Diana Fulleton, Ginny Moore, Judy Hamilton and Lorraine Leonnig. Peppy routines of the Heppner High band and drill team at halt'time, including a number with sparklers witli field lights out, added to the enjoyment of the big crowd. Coach Jim Sutherland said In thinks Applegate will be back in action against Sherman Coun ty. He expressed pleasure with the play of the entire squad and found it difficult to single out individual "heroes" in view of the great team effort. Burns had 12 first downs to Heppner's 10, and total offense favored the winners, 3(17 yards to 2.

Paul Tews Named New President (Continued from page 1) one billion dollars just in trans portation, interest, storage and other incidentals concerned with handling present surpluses. Tom praised the program pro vided through P. L. 480 in wheat marketings, pointing out that the 650 million bushel wheat ex port this year is the highest it has been for a long, long time. "This has definitely helped to decrease our surplus." Mr. Tom said, "the only problem being that advanced nations are using more wheat, but the underdevel oped need it. P. L. 480 has provi ded this opportunity." In further discussing the Cer tificate Plan Tom pointed out that a national marketing quota would be declared by the Secre tary. A referendum to be held for farmers may provide for a one-two-or three-year program. He pointed out that legislation as originally planned by the state and national Wheat Growers associations has not included certificates for exports, however, the present plan does. Tom said, "I beleive that the present plan will provide more income than the plan what we worked on for years." While growers as yet have had no luck getting a substitution clause whereby wheat might be raised on feed grain acres, Tom ieels that it may yet be possible to get this done. If there is any 1964 feed grain program, the Secretary may let wheat be grown in place of feed grains. He pointed out that the new act for 1964 wheat (1) provide the means for maintaining farm in come during a period when sup plies are excessive, (2) it pro vides for an orderly reduction in CCC stocks, (3) it is the first step toward limiting sales of wheat on a bushels basis to market de mand, (4) it prevents the shift ing over-production problem from wheat to other commodities, to) when a teed grain program is in affect, it will provide a flexibility of operation on the farm which has never been ex perienced under the old acreage programs. During the noon luncheon, Paul Tews, chairman of the Con servation Man of the Year com mittee, introduced Herb Clark and Gerald Rhea, representatives of Tri-County Equipment Com pany. Clark presented the tradi tional conservation plaque as originated by Mrs. L. J. Feves, Pendleton, nationally known sculpturist and artist. Elmer Palmer and son, Roger, received the plaque as county winners. Paul Tews pointed out that this winning farm, which is in competition for State Conser vation Man of the Year, was se lected for its outstanding pro gram of conservation which in cludes strip cropping, perman ent grass strips, contour seeding, stubble mulch, diversion ditches, alfalfa and grass as well as a range and pasture conservation programs for their livestock operation. This included clearing sagebrush to destroy competition for native grasses as well as im proving range and pasture land by seeding Pubescent wheat grass, Nomad and Ladak alfalfa and a deferred and rotated graz ing program. The noon luncheon was served by the Willows Grange Home Economics Committee. Important recommendati o n s were drafted during the day, many of which will compose an action program for the annual meeting of the Oregon Wheat Growers League which will be held in Portland on November 26, 27, and 28. These recommenda tions will be presented in a story next week. Mr. and Mrs. Bob Parsons, Portland, visited two days last week with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln Nash. Bring In FOR CURING SMOKING All Work Guaranteed Court 111 N. Court Cardinals Crush Echo 70-6; Still Undefeated With eight men sharing scor ing honors, lone High's 8-man football team crushed an under manned Echo team at lone Fri day afternoon, 70-6. So lopsided was the contest that six of the Cardinals' freshmen played in all four quarters and were in the game more than half the time. The Morrow-Umatilla 8-man champions tallied twice in the opening quarter after Quarter back Ron Crabtree led off with an 80-yard kickoff return, and then racked up three touch downs in each of the three re maining quarters. Echo had to play near "iron man" ball with only 10 men on its squad. Four had been drop ped for training reasons. General Election Interest Mounts (Continued from page 1) trict No. 5 (Boardman and Irri gon), R. B. Rands did not seek reelection, and the post must be filled by writeins there. The remainder of the country comprises justice of the peace district No. 6 and J. O. Hager, a veteran in the office and oldest candidate for office in the state of Oregon, seeks another six year term for this position. In the case of writein candi dates, the name should be writ ten in by the voter and an x marked in front of it. Two county candidates are running without opposition. Rod Thomson, Republican, who has been deputy assessor for a num ber of years, won over incumb ent Oliver Creswick in the pri mary election and is without op position for assessor in the gen eral election. E. O. (Gene) Fer guson, Republican incumben t , defeated Berl Akers of lone in the primary for county commis sioner nomination and also is without opposition for the post. For port commissioner, two candidates are on the ballot without opposition, since two are to be elected. They are George Wiese, Boardman, Democrat, and Garland Swanson, lone, Republi can. However, E. F. Hiigel of Boardman has indicated interest as a writein candidate and is being fostered with Swanson by the Republican party for the po sition. On the judiciary portion of the ballot are three candidates for state positions, all running with out opposition. They are Wm. M. McAllister for position 1 on the state supreme court, Arno II. Denecke for position 6, and Peter Gunnar for judge of the Oregon tax court. Three of the nine measures that will be voted on are pulling considerable attention here. Measure 10, which seeks to re peal the stale school district re organization law of 1957, has both strong support and strong opposition. Measure 9, which would reapportion the state leg islature on the "all-Oregon" plan should be heavily favored here but will draw voters to the polls because of its strong opposition in other parts of the state. The third measure of interest, which may find local voters in dilem ma, is that to establish daylight time throughout the state. While daylight time has never been favored here by the majority, confusion that has resulted from having part of the state on one time and part on another makes it a tough decision for many voters. Six other measures on the bal lot, however important, are drawing lesser interest. These are discussed editorially on page 2 of this section. Your Country - Kill iru CUTTING WRAPPING LARD RENDERING St. M Les Madden made the second touchdown for the Cards when he ran over from the 2. He also made the extra point, and the first quarter ended with the score 13-0. Ken Klinger broke away on two long runs in the second period, each good for a touch down. One was for 31 yards and the other 67 yards. Crabtree ran the point after the second touch down. Before halftime came, Jim Martin, end, took the ball on a reverse and went 45 yards to score. The point try was no good, and the score was 32-0. In the third quarter, the Cards went to the air and Crabtree tossed a pass to Tom Heimbig ner who galloped the remaining 10 yards to the end zone. The pass covered 20 yards. Bob De Spain joined the scoring spree with a 7-yard run, and then Crabtree uncorked one of the longest runs of the season, going 91 yards to tally anothei six points. None of the third quarter tries for extra points was good. Echo made its lone touch down in the third when Hanson broke away and rambled 60 yards. This made the count 50-6. The roaring Cards finished with 20 points in the fourth stanza. DeSpain ran 35 yards and Mark Halvorsen gained th: extra point on a run. Rollie Ek strom got into the scoring pa rade with an 18-yard end uround, and Halvorsen added the final tally with a 2-yard plunge. He added the frosting when he passed to Joe Hausler for the 70th point of the ball game on the PAT. Coach Glenn Biehl has learn ed that Crane will likely be the lone opponent in the state quarter-finals to be either No vember 16 or 17, and the Cards get to pick the field. Crane de feated Prairie City, 21-20, to win the right to play lone after, oddly enough, losim to the same team earlier in the season in a non-counter, 32-0. Included in their record is a 120-6 win over Spray. Coach at Crane is the man who coached last year at Mt. Vernon, and he has Mt. Vernon's last year's quarterback with him as well as his own son who is on the ball club.
