Friday night's win gives the Mustangs a 5-2 win-loss record in the Columbia Basin League, with their only losses going to Pilot Hock and Condon. This gives them a tie for second place with Weston McKw en in conference play. In the first quarter the Mustangs took an early lead on a 9 yard pass play.

By FRNIK CEHKSA The Riverside Pirates were defeated by Weston-McEwen, 78-0. Friday night at Athena. The score speaks for itself, but when Jim Huntsman, coach of Weston-MeEwen. stated. "The kids really wanted this one bad." one wonders what he told Pirate Coach Mike Wetnerell at the end of the game Surely, if he said "Your kids played a great game." he must have been kidding, for no team can take a beating week after week and still be expected to go out there and try. But the Pirates did. This is the first year the Pirates have been forced into the Columbia Basin League, because of their school enroll ment. Riverside had two students over their enroll ment, so they must play in a league that outclasses them. NOW'S THE TIME TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE TEAR'S BEST BUYS AT THE BEST PLACE TO BUY!

Neither team was able to score in the third quarter, and during the fourth quarter it So they get beaten week atter week. The players and coach es are to be commended for their effort and tenacity. Any new team to a league expects to be beaten, but it doesn't necessarily have to be humiliated. The Pirate team at the start of the season consisted of 26 players-8 seniors. 3 juniors. 6 sophomores and 9 freshmen. Their average weight is 148 pounds. Without the freshmen they would only have three replacements for their 11-man team. Yet they must play teams such as Heppner. Sherman. Condon, Pilot Rock and McEwen. MeEwen scored seven TDs in the first half to lead 43-0. yet they needed more points "for insurance." So they scored another 35 points in the second half.

It isn't because the Pirates lack guts that they have lost with such lop-sided scores, but because some coach w ants his boys to "win big." this is the theory of Modern day coaches, "Go out there and w in. to hell with the other team, beat them so they will never forget us." Good philosophy, good coaching1 Whatever hap pened to sportsmanship'' Or to the old adage. "You've got to learn to lose before you can learn how to win"? If this is the case, the Pirates have learned how to lose, for they have only won one game in the entire season. They have played week after week in an effort to win another, game, knowing the odds were against them. That takes guts. Smothering them 78-0 so some high school player can boost his college-entrance average doesn't take guts. It doesn't even require brains. To all the players and the entire coaching staff of the Riverside Pirates, who only won one game but never lost their guts, goes loud applause for a job well done. Have a winning team next year, for there are no losers on that team, regardless of the score.

After a series of downs and deep in Tiger territory, a Elli season off to good start EaMern Oregon elk hunters enjoyed a fine opening week end, according to field re ports. Elk w ere w idely distributed, in part because of mild weather conditions so far and partly because early season rains caused a widespread green-up of food. plants. Wet ground made for ideal stalking conditions with hun ters able to move about quietly. Opening day was balmy by elk hunting stand ards but cooler temperatures moved into the eastern part of the state on Sunday with widespread heavy rains and snow above 5.500 feet eleva tion. A noticeable increase in hunting pressure was reported in most hunting areas. Early snows also came as a bonanza to elk hunters!

The Cardinals finished in third place in the Big Sky Conference, behind Echo in second place, and Culver, the league champions. was reported. Biologists feel a large percentage of the Ches nimnus bull population has already been taken. Although hunter success was good in most other areas, game managers feel there are still enough bulls remaining to provide good hunting during the remainder of the season, especially if storms start the elk moving to lower locations. The Heppner Unit was one area where hunters found many of the elk already concentrated on the lower elevation wintering range. This was apparently because of more favorable food con ditions there. In general, prospects for the rest of the season look very good. Most hunters are hoping for a good tracking snow.

This Is the second year the Fillies have competed in league play. The girls had a poor season, winning one and losing five, All agreed bringing home the second place trophy made their efforts worthwhile. One of the disappointments the girls had to contend with was the poor attendance by both the townspeople and students. It probably wouldn't have changed the score or their standings. During the tourney there Elk hunts women, she gets away Several elk hunters are recapping the stories of their hunting prowess but at least one person is telling of her success in finding an elk when she really wasn't looking for one. Mrs. Willard French was hunting, but not for elk. She was in the woods looking for knots of wood or curled tree limbs to use for floral ar rangements. She left her group and went down a bank" into a little clearing. The moving bushes and crackling leaves warned her that some thing was approaching and that it was close by. A huge set of horns emerged into clear view just a few feet from her, and as Carmen relates. "It was the biggest bull elk I have ever seen. He was huge. I had heard of people who couldn't move from fright, but I had never experienced it before. I simply could not move or talk." The elk disappeared on the far end of the clearing as quickly as he had come. - .Alary Iloltz added that when Mrs. French returned to the group, "her mouth was mov ing but no sound was coming PATRICK SWEEXKYS II.WK A SON Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Sweeney.
