have been making a census
count of Heppner. Tom Beam
says the preliminary count is
14oo but that there were a num
ber of folks not home and per
manent residents of the hospital
who had not been counted yet
Complete figures will be avail
able soon. i
Homecomln? week Drosressed
as planned4-only with - greater
spirit than anyone had ever
thought. However, when it came
close to game time, Coach Hiem
stra found no Condon opponents.
The Condon Coach arrived late
with his team in hopes of dis
concerting the Mustangs.
Coach Hiemstra refused to be
intimidated and had the game
begin as scheduled. When the
lights were turned out later, the
noise of the Heppner Victory of
13-0 was heard throughout the
town Friday night.
Two Dean Wright runs of two
and three yards each and one
Bruce (The Toe) Marquardt ex
tra point filled the scoring col
umn. -Horsemen
John Hall and Bruce
Marquardt won the tip and
chose to defend the west goal
(?) This seemed like a. poor
idea, but Coach Hiemstra want
ed the wind with his team as
much as possible. The wind
was a major factor in the game
as neither team could pass very
well with such a strong breeze
Heppner threw two passes, .one
caught for 23 yards by Van
Marter and one intercepted.
Condon attempted 16 passes
and completed four. Two of the
12 incomplete were sure touch
down passes (30 yards behind
Heppner defenders) but butter
fingers on the part of Blue Dev
il ends saved the game.
Grant Weatherford, hard driv
ing Condon fullback carried the
ball 35 times out of a total of
62 plays. He gained 142 yards
for 4 yards average per carry.
Wright and Hall combined many
times- to -stop, the - Blue - Devil
threat. The total Condon offense
was 180 which leaves 38 yards
In 27 carries' for the "rest of the
Condon team.
Receiving most 1 valuable of
fensive and defensive ' backs
were Dean Wright as defensive
and John Hall as offensive. Ter
ry Hughes was named offensive
lineman while Greg Greenup
was named defensive lineman.
Dean Wright was. the winner of
the MVP for the game. Rory
Stillman and George Steagall al
so put forth great effort in the
defensive line that memorized
"32" as Weatherford's number.
Horsemen have qualified for
state competition. Although, if
they should lose to Pilot Rock,
their only " remaining league,
and Condon should win the rest
of theirs, the district champion
will be tied between the Blue
Devils and the Mustangs.
; Heppner will play Union, En
terprise, Joseph or Pine Eagle.
Their league is very tight as all
four teams have: one loss. The
game will, be in one of these
towns on Saturday, Nov. 14 in
the afternoon. ' J ' ..
