(G-T Photo) Mustangs Cage Tigers For Impressive Victory By JIM MORRIS Heppner's Mustangs found themselves in the driver's seat Friday night at the rodeo field here as they romped to a 32-7 football victory over the young and spunky Stanfield Tigers. The win came largely from a determined second half rally by Coach Jim Sutherland's grid warriors. Each team managed to score only once in the initial half. Heppner struck first with Lee Padberg barreling over from the seven. Late in the second quarter the Tigers retaliated by sending Walt Banker crashing into pay dirt from two yards out. The rest of the half was dominated by a defensive battle between the two clubs. The Tigers struck through the airlanes while the Mustangs were relying on their grinding ground game but both found sticky going in the face of stiff defenses. This left the in termission score at 7-7. After the rest period the Mus tang's offense jelled and their defense became even more re luctant to give the Tigers any yardage. The Horsemen man aged to score four more times while the Stanfield eleven was being blanked, even though they threw a volley of passes at the Mustang secondary. j Several Mustangs got into the second half scoring act. Stuart Dick went over from 7 yards out, Don Munkers wheeled around end for 17 and pay dirt, Pad berg rambled for 46 yards and a TD, and Larry Muessig took a pass from Munkers for 21 yards and a counter. Defensively the Heppner eleven had many stars. Daryl Dick, Dave Hanna and Larry Heath were outstanding on the line while Lee Padberg and Stuart Dick sparkled in the defensive backfield. Stuart Dick intercep ted two passes for the home club and Greg Pierce pilfered one. I Charlie Beckett is recuperating at St. Anthony's hospital in Pen dleton following surgery there Monday.

Trailing 13-7 at intermis sion, the Redbirds pulled all stops in the second half to grind out a 25-20 victory in this close gridiron battle. Weston leaped into an early advantage by capitalizing on two lone fumbles and turning them into scores. The first was a bobble by the Cards on the Weston 32. The Tigers pounced on the pigskin and marched the distance to a touchdown. The second came when the Weston warriors captured another mis cue on the lone 18 and marched to another six points with Bill Turney going the final yard. The Cardinals managed to cop one counter in the initial period as Klinger scored one of three 1 TD's for the afternoon. It came on a 63-yard pass-play from Jay Ball. Tom Heimbigner kicked the extra point. This ended the scoring as the defenses dug in and allowed no points to be scored in the second quarter. The teams left the field at the rest break with the Weston club leading 13-7. After the halftime break Klinger hit a torrid pace and scored two more counters in the third period. The first came as he grabbed a punt on his own 26-yard line and raced all the way to pay dirt. A short time later he stole a Weston pass and scampered 45 yards to another score. The Weston eight was not through for the afternoon and set out to prove it in the final stanza. After Ione's Mark Halv orsen had scored six more on a 71-yard gallop, Weston's Bud Sams intercepted a pass on the lone 11-yard mark and streaked in to score.

The lone eight had 384 yards and 4 first downs for the game while. Weston went home with 327 yards and 13 first downs.

Thursday, October 10, 1963 Gridders Prepare For Tough Tilfs Having both trapped Tigers last week, the lone and Heppner grid teams hit the road this week for important games. Both clubs will be looking to further their winnings at the expense of league opponents. The Cardinals travel to Uma pine where they will meet the cellar dwellers of the Umatilla Morrow League, the Umapine Chiefs. While the Cards were drubbing the Weston team on their last outing, the Chiefs were falling before the Echo Cougars. Although the Chiefs have been beaten in both of their league encounters this year they showed signs that they can be tough and are not to be taken lightly. Umapine scored 19 points in their game with Echo and a team that can score this well cannot be counted out. The Red birds are hoping to use this game for a tune-up for their coming battle with Riverside who currently shares top spot in the league with the lone club. The Heppner eleven travels to John Day to meet the tough Grant Union Prospectors in the league opener for the Mustang gridmen. In their last outing the Mustangs smothered the Stanfield Tigers by a 32-7 mar gin. The same evening The Pros pectors were taking a 7-6 squeaker from the Sherman Huskies in Greater Oregon League action. The win put the Prospectors in a tie with Pilot Rock for the top spot in the league. The rant Union attack runs basically from the wing-T offense whick features a bruising ground game with a belly series. This is basically a building year for the Prospectors as they lost many players from last year's squad. However, they still have the speed and determination to go all the way if they get a few breaks. The Horsemen will try to be a bad break for the Grant Union elevn. The Mustang effort should be improved by the return of Paul Swaggart who was injured In the Enterprise contest. Also, Dean Robinson should be ready to go full-tilt this week. Robin son saw limited action in the Stanfield contest. The Heppner squad will leave around noon Friday and the game will be at 8 p.m. on the Prospector field. Earl Case and Percy Connor of Tho Dalles were Lexington callers on Sunday.
