Lots of deer NRA sets meeting 8 Over the Tee Cup j await hunters The special doe hunt last weekend was termed success ful by all involved and upcoming hunting seasons appear to offer the best of many years. Glen Ward, Oregon De partment of Fish and Wildlife, said emergency hunt rosters are now being compiled if they are deemed necessary later this year. "We had about 80 per cent of the hunters bagging their animal by noon of opening morning last weekend," said Ward, "and there's still a lot of animals out there." Ward and Oregon State Police Game Officer Vic Groshens both commented that very few problems with hunters were encountered. "It was one of the best opening days I've seen for awhile," said Groshens. Ward noted that although rains came recently, the fire danger is still extremely high and hunters are asked to be extra careful, observing rules in the game manual. Next week Game forecasts for Northeastern Oregon hunters ...in the Gazette-Times eppner JVs stand at 1-1 H The Heppner junior varsity football team evened its season record at 1-1 after a 16-0 shutout at the hands of Oregon Trail Monday. The JVs had begun the season with a roust of their own in posting a 6-0 win over pilot Rock the previous week. In that game Heppner's lone score came on a 25-yard return of an interception by Bryce Powell. The team picked up 225 in total offense and Coach George Koffler cited the play of Eric Clow, the team's leading ground gainer and a defensive standout. In the second game loss, Clow again played well, rack ing up six tackles and eight assists. Freshman quarter back John Bier directed the offense which gained 117 total vards.
