Fighting Fourteen Bow to Panthers At Prairie City Cranberry Harvest Proves Interesting The interesting experience of watching a cranberry harvest on the Long Beach Peninsula in Washington was recounted Mon day by Mrs. Millie Evans of Heppner, who with Mr. and Mrs. Archie Munkers, went to Seaview Friday to spend the week-end with Mrs. Anna Fehmerling, sister of Mrs. Evans. They went to a cranberry bog to see the harvest, the bog is first flooded and then machines are manned by men in hip boots to beat the bushes under the water and knock off the ripe cranberries. These float to the surface to form a mass of solid red berries, after which they are gathered with other equip ment, used to skim them off the water. Weather was perfect for the trip, and the Heppner residents returned Sunday evening after a thoroughly enjoyable week-end.

Heppner Ph. 676-9212 lone's "Fighting Fourteen" bowed to the big and solid Prairie City 8-man football team in a game for the district 3-D championship on the Panthers' field Saturday, 55 to 26. but the going wasn't as easy for the winners as the basketball type score indicated. Early in the third period, the Curtitntils moved to within eight points at 27-19, even though they failed to score once after being on the Panthers' four-yard line. The Prairie City team had stop ped an lone thrust at the four by intercepting a pass In the end zone and put the ball in play on tneir own zu. two plays later, Jim hwanson Intercepted a Pan ther pass and went the distance, bringing the Redbirds back in contention. But lone's hopes for an upset over the bigger team faded short ly after when Russ Ricco took the Cards' kickoff and ran 85 yards for a touchdown. With the extra point, this brought the score to 34-19. Coach Gordon Meyers of lone felt this was the crucial point in the game. His Redbirds took to the air in hope of catching up but Allen Periman Intercepted a pass. He churned the turf for 25 yards and reached the end zone. The extra point was good, and it stood 11-19. lone sustained an other drive In the fourth quarter with Chris Lovgren going over from the one-yard line, but the Panthers added two more touch downs of their own in the final period. Until midway In the third quarter, the game might have gone either way. There was no denying that the frame city team was a power house as it racked up 465 yards on 242 rushing and 223 passing, but the Cardinals rolled up enough yardage to win many a bail game with 296 on 160 rush ing and 136 passing. Ricco and Periman each scor ed four touchdowns for the win ners. Eddie Sherman was first to count for the Cardinals when he took a 25-yard pass from Quart erback Bob Ball in the second quarter. Frank Halvorsen, later in the same period, tallied on a 35-yard pass and run with Lovgren pitching. Meanwhile the Panthers had scored two touch downs in each the first and sec ond periods and picked up three extra points, so the halftime score was 27 to 12- Ball was out for a portion of the game when he was injured on a clip. He was able to return to play later, but his loss from the lineup was a temporary set- DacK ror the cards, who with on ly 14 on the roster, have been hard put for reserve manpower through the season. Coach Meyers, whose team took their league crown on four straight wins, had praise for his plucky players who lived up to tneir reputation as spirited tight ers by never quitting against the big opponents. Having finished their season three weeks earlier, the Cardinals had tried to keep in trim through the period of inactivity, but they round themselves pretty rusty," as the coach put It, in the first hair.
