In recounting the Umatilla game Friday evening, Coach Hiemstra had this to say, "In defense of Heppner's poor pass defense with Umatilla, the play ers . were employing a new ro tation and changed some per sonncl and this caused some problems as the defensive sec ondary didn't rotate properly. The boys learned during the game what was wanted nad af ter this week of practice should have the kinks worked out and be ready for Pilot Rock's pass lng. Pilot Rock lost to DeSales, a very strong Washington team, 6 to 0. They will give Heppner It's stiffest test to date.

IFYE Student Here From Delhi, India Chander , P. babas was the IFYE student from Madan Pur in Delhi, India who recently spent some time in Morrow County. He was the charming guest of Mr. and Mrs. Don Lin nell. He was a handsome jjoung man, unmarried and was 24 years old on Sept. 15. There was only a slight lang uage barrier as English was one of his four majors from the Un iversity of Delhi. His other ma jors of equal importance were Political Science, Economics and Hindi (National Language). The Fain II- Fsiiui He has two brothers and two sisters but he is the only one who is associated with his par ents on the home farm of 10 hects. One hect equals our 2rk acres. It freezes only occasion' ally so they have a long grow lng season. They will grow a crop of wheat then a vegetable crop such as cauliflower, cab bage or tomato in one season. They grow peas as a winter crop. Sugar cane takes 10 months to mature. They grow a hay (Sudax) as a fodder. This is bound into sheaves, dried and chopped. They have the equip ment run by a gas motor to chop the fodder. They farm with bullocks. He hopes some day to purchase a very small tractor. He anticipates some opposit ion by his parents to his de sire to set up a poultry or dairy farm when he returns home. He hopes to convince them but will respect their wishes. India Changing Changes are coming to India. Colleges are becoming co-educa tional. The American and Indian movies are quite different Kiss ing is not allowed in India mo vies. Formerly families made the marriage arrangements. This is true yet but the girls' par ents request for a certain young man to his parents results in a consultation with the young man. His wishes are respected and his parents do not force him into the marriage. American foods are very very different While he was in Morrow County he attended the Gilliam County Fair, which was his first rodeo. He had seen horse races' but never the cowbovs. The Lin-i nells were taking him to the Pendleton Westward Ho parade and the Round-Up. Taking him to Portland, the Linnells plan ned to go by Mt Hood so he could experience snow. He will visit two more fam ilies in Oregon then he was to have 15 free days. He expected to visit a big city. Umatilla used a defense dif ferent from what was scouted but Heppner players adjusted well in their Friday night game and won 20 to 38. The 18 point first period was an early indication of how the game would go. The game was the opening game of the col umbia Basin Conference for Heppner. Backfield Barney Mar shall, Gary Watkins and Dean Wright sparked the opening period. A Heppner defensive line anchored by Jeff Marshall, Ed Strahm and Tom Cutsforth laid low most of Umatilla's offensive threat until late In the game Heppner's defense against passes was inadequate and this week the coaching staff is real ly working on this phase of the game. Coach Hiemstra says "The opposing scouts are probably busy diagramming pass plays to run at Heppner. Heppner's defense handled Umatilla's running attack quite well. Of the Vikings' 319 total yards, nearly half including 130 yards on passes, was gained in the final period of play. Uma tilla ended up with 185 yards passing and 134 rushing. Heppner had 221 yards on the ground and 163 yards passing for 384 total yards. Quarterback Watkins was responsible for the Mustangs' "best passing game we've had In years" according to the coach. Gary had 10 pass completions in 15 attempts, two for TD's. The Coach also had praise for the pall packing efforts of Bar ney Marshall, an all-league tackle last year converted to a running back this year, Dean Wright and Rory Stillman. Jeff Marshall was one of the out standing defensive players.

Many tons of earth and rocks have been moved around already. Dikes, chan nels and banks are to be seeded to grass. We understand Bert Corbin has the contract from the U. S. Corps of Engineers to do the seeding which is believed to be an important answer to the big runoff problem here on Shobe Creek. Mayor Bill Col lins reports that the new bridges will be installed after the channel work Is completed. Water and sewer pipe moving will be completed in a few days. Bids will be let in the near fu ture for repairing the swimming pooL Guard rails on Cannon Street will be installed as soon as possible. As much of the work as possible for the project will be completed this falL weather permitting. More soil conservation work will be done on Upper Shobe, too, with diversions, dams and sodding.

Ranchers are con cerned because if hunters are not Informed about possible problems various troubles arise. Many Hunting Arrangements Ranchers offer various plans for hunters: It Is best for, hunt ers to check with each, ranch owner. 1. Some ranches are posted "No Hunting". 2. Some ranchers might aUow walk-ons but are posted "No Vehicles Al lowed". 3. Some allow "Hunt ing by Permission of ' Owner only". 4. Some allow limited hunting such aa "No Hunting Cub Scout Trails Is Theme; Of October Pack Meet Cub Scout Trails- led in many directions as awards were made at the October Pack meeting. One Bob Cat award was present ed and this to Clayton Galliher; 2 Wolf Badges to Coleman De vine and Brian Thompson. Dale Holland was sick so will receive his next time.

Oct. 25 is the date of the next Cub Scout Pack meeting and Cub Master Len Ray Schwarz announced the theme for the month is "The Magician." Near Buildings". 5. Other ranch ers now allow only "Fee Hunt ing" and require a payment be fore the hunting privilege is granted. 6. There may still be a few ranches that are open hunting areas but very few. Some of the Problems Hunters need to recognize that our beef, sheep, and horse ranchers need to protect their animals that can become very disturbed, killed or wounded, or scattered by hunter's careless ness. This year all ranchers are especially distressed by the spread of puncture vine in this county. These mean creepers are spread by vehicle tires that car ry them from spot to spot. Aid to Hunters' Safety Ranchers - usually want to know who and how many hunt ers are ;n their premises. Al most eavi year a hunter be comes wounded or last. Filing a hunter's "flight plan" with the rancher can be a real safe ty measure. Also, if others are hunting on his place, the ranch er can declare there are already plenty of hunters on his land and. thus prevent possible acci dents. lone Church Dates 75th Anniversary By REV.
