Alter a lew series oi plays the game ended with the final score Heppner 32, Sherman 0. with the Huskies from Sherman Hieh here last week, but the Grant Union gridders may be a different story. The Prospectors have only been defeated once, this at the hands of Madras. The Mustangs must first de feat the Grant Union squad be fore they look any farther. A good club takes every game as it comes and that's what the Mustangs will do. John Dav isn't a big team this year, but they do have their big bovs. The size that Is lost is made up in good blocking, tack ling and desire. The Mustangs will have to do a good solid job to beat these boys. Good solid offensive at- heads-up defense will bring the Mustangs home another victory. A hard week of practice was spent by the Heppner squad to ready them for Grant Union. Of fense was the key and of course hard work on defense. The speed of the Horsemen will be utilized to the maximum at John Day. The Mustang line will have to be hard-charging and tough to provide the backs with the help they need. Block ing is the key and the Mustangs can do it well. Two teams, physically and mentally ready, will provide a hard-nosed football game. The Mustangs will be ready, and we're sure the Prospectors are too. KIDS! Let Us Help You With Your COSTUMES FOR You May Be A Winner in THE BIG PARADE SATURDAY.
