(G-T Photo) Mustangs Defeat Grant Eleven In Close Action Heppner's Mustangs struck early in the first qurater for seven points and made it hold up to post a 7-0 grid victory over the tough Grant Union Prospectors Friday night at John Day. The battle was close all the way and featured some fine de fensive work on the part of both clubs. Approximately five minutes had elapsed from kickoff time when Heppner's Lee Padberg hit the line at the tackle slot and roared 46 yards to the goal line. Padberg again packed the pig skinfor the extra point. From this point the going got sticky as both teams dug in and refused to budge. Four times the rrospector attack drove within the Mustang 20-yard line and was repulsed. Three of the drives were stopped when the Horse men pounced on Grant Union fumbles. The other onslaught was halted on downs. The Heppner eleven was exceptionally alert as it captured a total of five John Day miscues for the even ing. Along with their ability to fall on fumbles, the Mustangs displayed a talent for larceny as they pilfered three of the enemy's passes. Another big factor which help ed to keep the Prospectors in the hole was the punting show put on by Lee Padberg. The Heppner back averaged 46.4 yards tier boot during the game in a dis play which could best be de scribed as fantastic. One of his boots traveled for a distance of 70 yards in the air and had a 15 yard roll for a total distance of 85 yards. In another instance he boomed a perfect kick to the coffin corner and the ball went out of bounds on the 1-yard line to push the opposition about as far into their own territory as they could go. Coach Jim Sutherland explain ed the Mustang victory by say ing, "The boys played a good defensive ball game and came up with the big play when we needed it." Sutherland also stated that the Prospectors are a much tougher team than many people credit them. The Heppner mentor had high praise for two of the John Day backs, Grimesly and Moul ten, saying that the pair ran and hit hard. The entire Mustang squad turned in perhaps its best de fensive effort of the year. Dave Hanna and Daryl Dick again did an outstanding job on de fense along with Padberg who was tough both ways. The win put the Mustangs in a tie for the lead in the Greater Oregon league and moved their season's record to 3 wins and 2 losses. In statistics Grant Un ion had the edge. They came up with 166 yards and eight first downs while the Horsemen had 138 yards and six first downs.
