Heppner
Passing Defense
Ready for Rockets
Heppner is getting ready for
Pilot Rock Friday evening here
at 8 p.m. at the Fair Grounds.
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.

ASC Elections
Coming Soon
HEPPNER IS where the action is as heavy equipment moved in
last week to start the Shobe Canyon channel work. 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. All
the projects promise a big step forward here.

broken into or vandalized). Each year warming Has are
started in stumps or logs and later abandoned. Fires (hat

le as weather conditions change. Make absolutely sure that
your warming fires or camp fire is completely extinguished, g
Feel with bare hands to make sure. r
Some spur logging roads in the Swale Cieek and Ant
Hill areas have been water barred (big mounds of dirt
pushed up with a cat) to prevent soil erosion. riease do
not travel these roads with motorized equipment.
Forest Service crews and logging crews will be work
ing in the woods so be careful. Most crew activity will be
in Porter Creek, . Wheeler Creek, Wall Creek and Ant II ill
areas. , ,.
Let's all resolve to make this a vandalism free, man
caused fire free, litter free, and accident free hunting season.

During deer and elk hunting
seasons many hunters will vis
it this area. 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

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.
