; "I think we'll do alright,"
Dale Holland, Heppner High
School baseball coach, said
this week, following one week
with his pitchers and catchers
and a day with the rest of his
squad.
Holland is in his 11th year at
Heppner and will be looking
, ' for his 100th win Mar. 18 when
t the Mustangs face Umatilla
there.
Holland termed his group
"awfully young" but was
quick to add that this year was
the "best crop of freshmen
I've seen in a long time."
Holland said he has a good
sophomore group, with four
seniors and a few juniors.
Seven lettermen, including
two sophomores, return to the
diamond.
Dave Allstott and Kindall
Thomas are the only returning
senior "H" gainers. Joining
that pair, Bruce Young, Curtis
Sweek and Jim Kinney are
, juniors and Dennis Peck and
Randy Worden are sopho
mores. Allstott, who was injured
,; midway through the season
last year, finished the first
half of last year's season with
about a .420 average. He will
pitch and play first base this
year, along with track tasks.
Thomas is an outfielder who
will join Allstott as the two
upperclassmen who more
than likely will break into
Holland's lineup.
Young was a utility player
last year, playing almost
every spot on the field. This
year, he will catch and play
outfield. Sweek, a quick guard
on the HHS JV basketball
team this season, is back as
the only strong, solid infielder
on the team.
Sweek played second base
last year, but may find him-
self at the shortstop position
before the season starts. Kin
ney will be in the outfield
again, using his "excellent
speed" there and his- hitting
power at the plate.
Two sophomores round out
thf rptnrninff list Pprk the
leading sticker on the squad
last year and the leading
batter in the Hermiston Babe
Ruth league last year, finished
the season at .325. Peck will be
on the mound and behind the
plate this year.
Eagle,
(Continued from page 6)
Also describes a nightmare for the tournament golfer who
finishes the first side even. Two over par on any given hole.
To take a six on a par four. Has reputation for following
out-of-bounds shots.
EAGLE. Not a bird or a plane. One less than a birdie, but
more precious. To take a three on a par five. Usually
accompanies a 420 yard par five, with no trees, no water, no
sand traps, a downhill slope, two fine wood shots, an
excellent iron and a whole lot of luck.
FRIED EGG. (noun) Describing the golfer's worst
possible lie in a sandtrap or wet spot and still able to see the
ball. Usually accompanies a Lonny Lofter on a hot day with
dry sand. Sometimes results in bogeys and many cases,
double bogeys.
GET LEGS. A nice, polite way of telling the golf ball to get
up off its skidding rear end and shift to overdrive.
SIT, HIT A HOUSE OR DIE. Referring to a ball to stop in
its track. Words accompany a ball that gets too many legs.
HOOKER. Having nothing to do with busy downtown street
corners. Opposite of banana ball, but the lesser of the two
evils. A hooker or hook shot often follows an outside in-swing.
Ball takes off to the right and hooks to the left. Sometimes
referred to as duck hook when the ball goes farther to the left
than straight.
PAR. The fundamental aim of golfers. Par is the allotted,
regulated score on any given hole. Comes more than birdies
but less than bogeys.
STICKERS. Describes the basic golfer. Used by sports
editor who is tired of calling golfers golfers. From the word
stick, which describes clubs used in the complex sport.
STIFF. To put the ball very close to the hole. As in a "stiff
wedge shot that lofts to the hole and sits."
TEE OFF. To strike the ball from a tee (small wooden or
plastic mount) with a wood or iron. Some oddballs have been
known to use a putter off the tee. A shot from the tee is
referred to as a drive or tee shot. It can be a most useful and
beneficial shot or a hazardous one. (See banana ball or duck
hook.)
TEED OFF. Describes the golfer's feeling when he sees a
fellow player teeing off in the rough. A state of mind, usually
accompanied by anger, hostility and possible club and neck
breaking.
The list could go on, but this is a family newspaper.
Golf is a good game that should be tried by all.
Concentration is the key after a few correct physical tasks
have been performed.
Randy Worden, a husky
scrapper on the hardwood,
will take his aggressive style
onto the turf this spring.

Worden fills out a strong
Mustang outfield list with
Kinney and Thomas.
Holland is counting on a
good pitching staff this sea
son, sparked by Allstott with
Worden and Peck working the
mound, too. Pitchers and
catchers are about all Holland
has had a chance to work with
this season so far.
Holland calls his infield
"shy," adding that Sweek is
the only "solid" member of
that four man defense. His
offense is termed "solid" with
the likes of returners Kinney,
Thomas and Worden and
Young when he's needed.
Infield is the question mark.
Peck will see action in the
infield when he isn't pitching.
Holland would just as soon not
put Peck behind the plate,
opting for possibly Dale Hol
land, Jr., or Jody Marlatt.
Allstott will be at first when
he isn't hurling and Steve

Central Mkt blows
lead, three knotted
Central Market blew their
lead when they dropped three
games to Gardner's last week
in Kegler's Korner action at
Fiesta Bowl in Heppner.
Central, which held a slim
lead, fell into a three-way
deadlock with Fiesta Bowl and
Morrow County Grain Grow

are knotted and hold seven
game leads over Gardner's in
fourth.
Gardner's bumped off Cen
tral Market with a 2679 series
and a 936 game. They came
away from the competition
with a 14-18 mark, four games

said, reeling off names: Jody
Marlatt, Tim Hedman, Ron
Young, Eric Clow, Dale Hol
land and Ron Schwartz.
