The Mustang are coming off

off a fourth-quarter Mustang
rally to preserve victory over

a 25-7 victory from the visitors 'P'"1-" ''Tm,J2 ff? hard
after losing to Uufur at Dufur,toht and '"M'lred battle,
the previous week. .
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.
Vernon, the Cards were without
one of their stars, Kddle Sher

Jury suffered in the Uufur
game. He Is showing some Im
provement on the leg
and Coach Meyers is
that he will be ready

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.

Big bone found
At Cutsforth Place
Believed Ancient
A big bone, 8U inches In di
ameter and 17 inches long, was
discovered by Orvltle Cutsforth
about 200 yards north of his
,,,,,. ,,,..' ' II,,. U'lllnu Creok
(j0f course during the week,
,, ,s .ivi.,,rt to ,L, that of
n n,.m,mnth which mnv have
Inhabited the area In ancient
limes.
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.
