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. He expects to be there
for about 10 days and Mrs.
Beckett is staying in Pendleton.
Mrs. Max Harris is with her
mother, Mrs. Mollie Hayes, Poca
tello, Idaho, while she is recov
ering from a fall at home which
splintered her shoulder bone.
She has been in a hospital for
two weeks.
In the statistics department
both clubs grabbed 10 first
downs. The home club hit on
3 for 7 and one TD in nassins
while, the Tigers hit the air lanes
for 23 attempts and completed
only 3.
The win evened the Mustang's
season record at two wins
against two defeats. Friday, Oc
tober 11, they travel to John Day
to tangle with the Grant Union
Prospectors in their league opener.

lone Tops Weston
In Grid Battle
By 25-20 Score
The lone Cardinals, led by Ken
Klinger, scored a come-from-be-
hind football victory over the
tough Weston Tigers Friday at
lone. 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. Weston then pulled
an onside kick and were knock
ing on victory's door when the
alert Cardinal defense swiped a
pass on their own 8-yard line and
ran out the clock to chalk up
their second league victory and
remain in a tie with Riverside
in a race for the conference
crown.
The lone eight had 384 yards
and 4 first downs for the game
while. Weston went home with
327 yards and 13 first downs.
Klinger accounted for 246 yards
of Ione's total as he turned in
an outstanding effort for the
team.
Ione's next outing is October
11, when they will travel to
Umapine to meet the Umapine
Chiefs in another league con
test. The Chiefs fell victim to
the Echo Cougars last week and
will be thirsting for revenge at
the expense of the Cardinals

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.
