' Tri-County Junior Rodeo in
Prineville.
, A Morrow County barrage
of young competitors invaded

fourth and fifth in barrels with
Maureen Healy, was fifth in
calf riding and sixth In goat
tying.
Other junior division win

will be the teams to beat. He
won't, however, count out his
own Mustangs.
Along with those three,
Sporseen and company will
have to put up with the likes of
powerhouses Riverside and
Weston-McEwen, along with
Wasco County and Pilot Rock.
Last year, in the CBC, there
were three teams in the top
ten In the state. Riverside was
fifth, Weston-McEwen sixth
and Sherman County, a respe
ctable eighth. With history
like that, the Mustangs will'
have to be ready.
Bucking off opponents down
the line, the Mustangs will
face in order, Condon, Pilot
Rock, Oregon Trail (combined
Stanfield and Echo) River
side, Weston-McEwen, Sher
man, Umatilla, Pendleton JVs
(non-conference) and Wasco
County.
Of those, all are conference
testers except Pendleton's
Buckaroo seconds. Condon,
Riverside, Sherman and Was
co County will all be home
games.
Heading this year's Hepp
ner coaching staff is John
Sporseen, newly hired grid
iron mentor from Scio. Along ,
with Sporseen, also athletic
director, will be the able
bodied Dale Conklin and
George Koffler.

Barrels, bulls
added to rodeo
o)
Girl's barrel racing and
novice bull riding have been
added io the event list for the
Friday night Morrow County
Rodeo.
The two new events will
more than make up for the de
letion of pony races. Pony ra
cing has been cancelled be
cause of insufficient entries in
recent years.
The girl's barrel racing
competition has been deleted
from the program for the
Wranglers Horse Show but is
being added to the Friday
night Morrow County rodeo.
There will be a junior and
senior division.
The junior division is for
girls age nine-14 as of January
1, with an entry fee of $7.50.
- The senior division is for girls
age 15 and over as of January
1, with a $10 entry fee.
According to Susie French,
the stock contractor will bring
some young bulls weighing
from 1,000 to 1,200 pounds. The
novice bull riding event has
been added to permit novice
contestants to enter this popu
lar event without having to
contend with the risk present
ed by the older and larger
bulls.
Entries will be taken at the
rodeo office on Thursday
(today). The entry fee is $15
plus a $5 stock charge. Anyone
who has not previously won
$250 in bull riding and who Is
not a permit or card-holding
member of a professional
cowboy association is eligible.

Over the tee cup
Men's team play Is now in its final two
weeks and winners will be determined during
this period. Club championship play is
underway and most have played their first
rounds.
Missed last Sunday's play again but
understand that Francis Doherty won top
honors with John Edmundson a close second.
In Ladies play last week the low gross
winner was Lois Hunt and Monica Jones had
the hot putter to win least putts.
The next major tournament will be the
Lions Tourney on Sept. 11. This is the third
year for this event and it appears it will be the
largest. Entries are coming in from Hood
River, The Dalles and Pilot Rock thus far.
Proceeds are sent to the Oregon Lions Sight
Foundation to help them continue their many
worthwhile projects. -.
