SIX The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, December I, 1977 - The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Tuesday approved two special controlled hunts one in the Fossil area of the Wheeler unit and one in the Heppner Game Control District. Both hunts will be held Dec. 17-21 with special tags issued by the Commission on a first come-first serve basis. For the Fossil hunt, 600 special tags will be issued and 500 will be distributed for the Heppner hunt. The Commission will not use the emergency hunt roster in these cases and to be eligible, applicants must have an unused buck tag or a controlled hunt tag. Applications must be made on special controlled hunt forms available at licensing agents. Applicants must enter either "Fossil" or "Heppner" on the form and include their hunting license number and unused tag number on the form. Completed applications should be sent to the Oregon Dept. pf Fish and Wildlife Box 3503 Portland, OR 98208, as soon as possible. The hunt is for anterless deer only and successful applicants are eligible to take two deer one on the unused buck tag and one on the special hunt tag. Range conditions, poor herd conditions in the agricultural areas and damage due to foraging deer were named as reasons for the special hunt. Koffler directs JVs Three transfers, a new coach and a pre-dawn practice hour add up to a hazy outlook for the Mustang junior varsity basketball team but after four games in the next week, the season perspective should be quite a bit clearer. "These first games should tell us a lot about where we're going this year," said George Koffler, in his first year at the jv roiindball helm. "Right now there are a lot of variables." Koffler is in the process of inducting his 11-man squad into a new offensive set up which, he said, operates around three basic plays with about four options off of each one. Koffler plans to stick with a man-to-man offensive and will also play man-to-man defense "about 90 Der cent of the time". i .. , The junior Mustangs will have their first chance to try out the system today (Thurs day) against the visiting lone Cards. "We've got good height for a jv team, we're not bad speed-wise and I think we'll hang in with our rebounding," Koffler said, adding that outside shooting doesn't ap pear to be one of his team's fortes. Koffler is looking to his three transfer players to contribute some help to the J V Cardinals list 7 frosh, 5 returnees Five returning players will be joined by seven freshmen freshman on this year's lone junior varsity basketball team coached by Gordon Meyers. Meyers said progress has been hampered by practice cancelations due to bad weath er and the fact that the jv team has to share gym space (Keglers Korner Sparetimers League, Nov.

With only a few prac tices under their belt, the jv's are pretty much of an un known factor at this time, Meyers said.

Day is taking a closer look at his players before deciding on a lineup and competition among the 11 squad members is still close for inclusion in the starting five. Aggressive play in the scrimmage was to be an important factor in deciding who gets the starting nod, Day said early Tuesday. "I don't want the players to have to force their actions but tight, aggressive play is what I'm looking for," Day said. "Playing aggressively while still maintaining poise is the type of play I want."

Matt Hughes 422 Linden Way 676-9418 Heppner fwj Card lineup still open As of Tuesday, Card coach Del LaRue had narrowed his choices down to seven players to send out on the court in Friday's home opener against Heppner. 1 "We're a little behind sche i dule," LaRue said. "The snow hurt us and a few players have been out of town or sick I guess you could say we lost almost a week of work." LaRue has settled on a backcourt starting duo of Danny McElligott and Dennis Stefani and said Kevin Mc Cabe had nailed down one of the forward spots. The other two slots still remain open with two seniors, 61" Rick Gilbert and 6'0" Dennis I Thompson vying for the post and 6'0" junior John Lind strom and 511" Robin LaRue in the running for the other forward. Rounding out the squad are three sophomores, 5'5" Glenn Krebs, 5'9" Bruce Millman and 5'8" Terry Starr. Practice sessions in the past week have been geared to ward skill refinement and drills after an opening week of conditioning work. , Concerning the Cards open ing contest, LaRue said he would have to "play it by ear". "Heppner has a new coach and I really can't anticipate too much," LaRue said. "We'll just have to play it straight and take it to them." 3 MACHINERY REPAIR Miller & Sons Welding, Inc.
