Riverside, though beaten, left in their wake, senior Mustang signal caller Dave Allstott. Alls tot t will be lost to the season after suffering a dislocated shoulder late in the contest. Heppner jumped out to a 14-0 first period lead and whispers of route went through the stands. But by the end of regulation, the Pirates had stolen the Mustang glory and were riding away with the football. At the end of the 48 minute game, the score was knotted at 20. The Kansas tie-breaker was put into effect to decide the contest. Each team had a chance to score from the ten yard line with four plays. Heppner thwarted River side's first attempt with an interception, but couldn't punch the ball over when they got their chance. Riverside was stalled again the second go around, but the Mustangs took advantage of their opportunity. Brian Mar lin plunged through the left side into the end zone on a third and five situation to give the Mustangs their victory and the Pirates a long ride home. Heppner outdistanced the Pirates in every category. It was two defensive mistakes that pumped Riverside up and led their momentum into the second half. Heppner capitalized a 44 yard drive in the first period when Steve McLaughlin, the leading ground gainer, took it in from two yards out. The kick was good. Later in the same period, Allstott escaped would-be tacklers and pumped 11 yards up the middle to pay dirt. McLaughlin's kick topped the 83 yard drive that was high lighted by an Allstott to Dave Holland pass that netted 54 yards. John Sporseen, head Mus tang mentor, admitted the Mustangs journeyed into Fri day night's encounter, looking for a "push over." With the 14-0 score in the first period, that just added credence to what the players already felt. But the Pirates did their best to undo that theory. In the second period, a 39 yard pass went from the hands of Dan Bozarth to Chuck Metcalf. Jim Sibertz ran the two point conversion over and left the Pirates a TD behind at intermission. A drive by Heppner in the early going of the third period (I f ; (Xi . v 7 n was interrupted when Ladd Kanyid picked off an Allstott pass and trucked 26 yards to tie the contest. The PAT was no good. Heppner, who never trailed in the tilt, jumped on the next touchdown. A 40 yard drive in three plays was topped when McLaughlin, who ran for 75 yards on 14 carries, skipped into the end zone after a 36 yard run. McLaughlin, who was two for two on the extra points, missed his third try, leaving TIT Tom Skow rushed for 22 yards Friday. Here he moves to get outside and away from three Riverside defenders.

Sporseen called the game Heppner's best of the season offensively. The Mustangs held onto the ball for 49 rushing plays and 15 passing, the majority of the contest. Defensively, Christman, this week's Player of the Week, was the Mustang stand out, saving possible scoring punches from his safety posi tion.
