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.
