The Arlington game will be a non-league ariair, the last "warmup" contest before the 8 man team faces Kcho there in the first conference game under the lights at 7:30 p.m. on Fri day, September 29. Game time at Arlington will be 2:30 Friday afternoon. In achieving; the win over Mt.

He Is showing some Im provement on the leg and Coach Meyers is that he will be ready injuiy i hopingi tO go against Arlington. Without Sherman, Bob Ball went into the hackfield, team ing with Frank Halvorsen there, while ChrlH Lovgren remained at the quarterback post. Neal Chrlstopherson took over ut center. After n scoreless first quarter, Jim Swanson passed to Halvor sen on what Coach Meyers termed a "dlpsy-doo" play. This was good for 31 yards and a touchdown. Lovgren passed to Swanson later In the period for another score. Extra point tries failed, and lone led, 12-0, at halftlme. t Coining bnck In the third, Ball proved his worth In the hackfield by scampering 35 yards for a touchdown. Again the point 'try was no good. In the fourth quarter, Halvor sen made- six points when he hit paydirt from the two at the end of a drive. Lovgren passed to Swanson for the extra point. The visitors didn't go home without getting on the score board. They reached the end zone In the fourth quarter on a five-yard run, and the. extra point, a pass play, brought their total to seven. "We looked better in this game," the coach said. "We fired out' a little' better than the week ' before." If Injuries leave them alone, the team may do well, the coach said. "We don't want any more In juries." With only 15 out for the team, there Is little room for players to get hurt without leaving a hole in the squad. i ; j' 1 .VII r4 m ., ..."

The" practice games are over; the games are to be played for blood from here on out. The traditionally strong Great er Oregon League has again turned out some of the strong est teams In the state.

Kirk Horn, Heppner High school biology instructor, exam ined the exposed portion of the bone. While not prepared to give an exact opinion on it as yet, he theorized that it may have been from an animal that roamed the area In the Mos ozolc era, perhaps some 8,000, (XX) years ago. Culsforth said that his atten tion was called to it when hors es had pawed around it and nibbled at it for the mineral it contains. It Is In a crumbly condition, and he sought Horn's help without disturbing it. Horn said that he plans to use his field biology class In excavating it, a procedure that will take some care if it is to be removed Intact. It is possi ble to use a preparation that will hold It together so that it can be removed for thorough study and examination. The biology teacher said that It Is possible that the bone is that of a mastodon or of a pachyderm. The latter were said to be common In this region In earlier geologic history. Tests can be made to determ ine the age of the bone, and Horn said thnt he has a friend who is a paleonthologlst who might assist on this. The class will probably work at the care ful process of excavation next week. Horn said that he drove some stakes in the ground around the bone to see If he could determ ine If other parts were there but failed to determine if there were more.
