Coach Ed Hiemstra and his boys hope to make it three in a row and break out of the 3- way tie for second place in the standings. Grant Union will come here suffering from a 20 6 loss to Burns Friday. Heppner overturned the Hi landers here two weeks ago, 31 13, and if comparative scores were a dependable yardstick, they would have quite an ad vantage over the Prospectors Friday. But anyone knows that this is an unreliable method to determine respective ratings for teams. Grant Union has had a good season to date, and the Mus tangs cannot afford a letdown of any kind if they are going to come through with victory. After a slow start in pre-sea-son play and a loss in their first league game to Madras, 19-13, the Mustangs have caught a spark and have been appar ently getting better in every contest. After starting with the possibility of getting thumped regularly this season, they now appear one of the "teams to beat" in the league. Despite its loss to Heppner, Burns is first in the league at this time by virtue of having played one more game. The Hi landers' 3-1 record gives them the edge over Heppner, Wah tonka and Grant Union, all bunched at 2-1. The Mustangs have the ad vantage of playing the next two at home. Following the Grant Union game Friday, they enter tain the Wahtonka Eagles at homecoming on Friday, October 28. A concluding game with En terprise is scheduled November 4 at Enterprise at 7:30 p.m., but Coach Hiemstra states that if the Mustangs get into the play offs, this game will not be played. Quarterback Chris Lovgrrn ran for two touchdowns, pass ed for another, and made two extra points in leading the lone Cardinals to a 25 6 victory ov er Weston at Weston Thursday afternoon. The Cards, who now stand second In league play with a 2-1 record, lost another touch down when It was ruled that their ballpacker didn't have control of the ball when he went into the end zone. As he juggled the ball, an opponent grabbed the resulting fumble and Weston took possession on the 20-yard line. Coach Gordon Meyers' boys missed several other chances to score, but they were stubborn in giving Weston an opportu nity to hit paydirt. The losers' lone score came in the fourth quarter, the only time thev penetrated the lone j 20-yard line. They were down close when they benefited by i a roughing penalty against lone. Installed on the Vyard line, it took the Weston team four tries to make the goal line. Donnie Sloan barely made it on the fourth crack. After a scoreless first quarter in the game, lone opened a 14 point halftime lead by two touchdowns In the second per iod. Monte Crum ran for 13 yards to make the first six points, and Lovgren ran the ex tra point. Later in the quarter, Lovgren packed it over from two yards out on an off-tackle play. Eddie Sherman ran the point The third quarter was anoth er scoreless affair, but early In the fourth, Lovgren tallied from one yard out, and on the point try. pitched a pass to Leon Ma gill, making the count 21-0 for the Cards. Weston made its lone score at this juncture, and it stood 21-6 for a short time. The game's final touchdown came when Lovgren threw a short pass to Sherman, and he galloped most of the 45 yards covered on the play, ending in the end zone. Crum ran the point, and the final was 28-6. of his defensive line, pointing to their tough goal line stand when it took Weston four tries to go a half yard, and to hold ing them scoreless through the rest of the game. The offensive linemen also did a "great Job," the coach said.

Game time is 2 p.m. Now standing at 21 for the league season, the Cardinals are a game behind Riverside High. Should Echo pull an up set in Its game with Riverside and win, and If lone conquers I'mapine. the Cards and Pirates would be deadlocked for first In the league. But, on paper, Riv erside looms too powerful for Echo. Umapine has yet to win a league game, and so the Cards are favored In this finals. Coach Gordon Meyers' team, although short on manpower and hampered by Injuries, has won three games, tied one and lost two on the overall season to date. The losses were to Riv erside and Dufur, the tie was with Arlington, and the wins were over Mt. Vernon, Echo and Weston. The team has been stronger with each game.

Heppner High's revitalized Mustangs sparkled again on the grtdiron Friday when they con quered Sherman county at Moro, 20 to 6, In a hard fought game. Coach Fd Hiemstra had said prior to the contest that he was altering his offense to provide some surprises for the Huskies after the Mustangs had whack ed Burns here, 31 13. In a game that was well scouted by Sher Man. Whether It was this strat egy that paid off or a rejuve nated spirit by the Heppner eleven, the team nevertheless did the Job. Against Sherman. It was Jim Doherty and Mike Alsup that made the telling blows Instead of the line charges of Jim Ja cobs who had ripped through Burns. In Alsup's case, he came back to haunt his former team mates, since he was an all- conference pick from Sherman county last year before his transfer to Heppner. Doherty scored two of the Heppner touchdowns and Alsup made the third. Alsup also In tercepted a pass that paved the way for the first Mustang six pointer. It was In the first quarter that Alsup snagged the Sher man pass and took It back In to Huskies' territory. Jacobs gained four yards, and then Doherty took the ball on a quick opener off the left side to ram ble 20 yards for the first touch down. Alsup kicked the extra point, and the Mustangs were away and running, 7-0. At the start of the second quarter, the Mustangs struck again. Heppner started on its own 40 following a Sherman punt. Utilizing the quick open er, the team made a series of first downs with IVan Kindle. Dohertv and Jacobs doing the hall packing. Installed on the Sherman 32. Halfback Doherty pitched a pass to Alsup, who went the distance to score. Alsup's kick try fur the point went off to the right, but Heppner had a 13 0 advantage which held up until halftime. Sherman got on the score board In the third quarter via the aerial route. Fred Ju.ttesen caught one lung pass on a third down pluy that set the stage for the touchdown. Another pass was completed, gaining to the Heppner 25. Quarterback Dan Jensen then fired a third completion to Hill Jones, who ran to the end zone Just before the end of the third quarter. The point try was no good, and the score was 13 6. Heppner had one more scor ing play for the evening, anil It wasn't long In coming. David Hall, Mustang quarterback, who had been doing a good Job on runburks through the evening, took the Sherman klckoff and went 43 yards before he was nailed. On the first down play. Jacobs carried the ball, but Sherman was penalized 15 yard for piling on. giving the Mus tangs a first down on the Sher man 20 The quick opener paid off once more with Doherty taking the ball, breaking frr and going the distance. Alsup's toe. getting more and more ed ucated as the season prognos es, kicked the ball through the uprights, for the extra point, bringing the count to the final score of 20 6. The hard fought battle re suited In several Injuries, ap parently none serious, on both sides. At one time, tempers flared and a Heppner and a Sherman county player were eji-cted from the game. ("oath Hiemstra provided a little Impromptu entertainment of his own at one point. He had gone on to the field to check an Injured player. Jogctng off. with hands In his pocket, he tripped and fell, but he got up under his own power and no stretcher was necessary to carry him off the field.
