Heppner bumps Condon It was a basic case of too youngs, too hots, and too longs for the Cardinals of lone last Friday. The Cards bumped heads with Powder Vaiiey in their season opener and drop ped the eight man football game, 22-6. "You never feel good when you lose," Gordon Myers, lone head coach said, "but the kids did a pretty good job." Five freshmen started for lone in the humid heat Friday in the 2 p.m. clash. Many of the players had to go both ways on offense and defense without much break time. "We got tired. I just didn't have enough players to give em a rest," Myers said. "A lot of kids had to go the whole game. It's not that they are in bad shape, they just need a rest once in a while." "Heart?" Myers asked himself. "They gave just about everything they had." Despite the heat and inex perience, lone gave a fair showing. Kevin McCabe, a sophomore back, was the team's highlight. McCabe ga ined 114 yards in the contest, rushing for 27 and catching seven passes for 87 yards. Another lone back, Terry Starr, came up with two first downs on "shear effort" and lone Jr. (Continued from Page 6) Sporseen gives one point for an assisted tackle, two for an unassisted tackle and four points for the fumble recov ery. Mark Parker, who piled 1 onto the lone Blue Devil fumble, had 12 points, follow ed by John Schiller, Chris Wright and Marty Smith with 10 each. While the Mustangs slowed Condon's offensive attack, Sporseen was still concerned with the Heppner tackles. He called the arm tac kling "hor rible" and said game films showed constant arm tack ling. "We'll be alright." he said though, "providing everybody learns by their mistakes and we buckle down." Both teams were offensively dormant in the first period, battling to a scoreless tie at the end of the first 12 minutes. In the second quarter, Heppner took advantage of good field position and behind Allstott's commandeering, moved the ball to within the Condon 10 yard line. Two plays later, from the four, , Skow went off tackle for the first touchdown of Heppner's 1976 season. McLaughlin boot ed the extra point and the Mustangs led, 7-0. The half ended that way but Condon came bouncing back In the third period. In that stanza, Heppner was fighting it's way out of it's own terri tory when the ball was fumbled and a Blue Devil cov ered it up. From the 20 yard line, Con don marched to the five where quarterback Mack Mcintosh carried it in. A two point conversion gave Condon a one point edge. Heppner moved into the final period trailing by one. But a long pass from Allstott to Christman gave the Mus tangs the momentum and the field position to take the game away trom their rivals. Christman was tripped up at the one after the pass and a hearty run of 86 yards. Allstott dove into the end zone for the go ahead TD. Condon, in a do or die situ ation, began to stalk back down the field. But, with a little over a minute and a half remaining, Allstott picked off a Condon pass and the Mus tangs ran the clock out for the victory.
