The 1978 lone starting lineup will be minus only one player from last year's starting bill Gary Gaustad. Most of this year's starting squad are juniors and seniors, who have played regularly since their freshman days. Although the Cardnials still lack the weight and height of some of their opposing teams in Big Sky play, " we're closing the size gap," com mented head coach Gordon Meyers. "Most of the kids have put on five to ten pounds since last year." A strong passing game is expected to be the Cards' biggest asset this year, with Dennis Stephani, now in his third year, once again at the helm in the quarterback's slot. "We know we can throw and catch," said Meyers. "Dep ending on how well our line can hold out, we can be dangerous. . . We're going to try throwing 40 to 50 per cent Mu istangs among top contenders in Columbia Basin Conference race A smaller starting lineup for Heppner High School will take to the gridiron during the 1978 football season, meaning that "we will have to be faster and tougher than the other teams" in order to remain a top contender, head coach John Sporseen said. While other coaches in the district and several sports writers have predicted that Heppner is favored to take top honors in the conference this season, Sporseen was more cautious. "We should place somewhere from the middle up," he said. "All I can say," he joked, "is that we're undefeated until we lose a game." A total of 48 turned out to draw uniforms in hopes of participating on the 1978 Mustang team. It remains to be seen who will be selected to fill a number of starting positions. The season's first contest will be played this Friday at 8 p.m . in Pilot Rock. On the plus side for the Heppner lineup this year, 10 lettermen are returning to the squad. Brian Marlin and Dennis Peck, who Sporseen 4 1 . t - 1 1 - let uicu uic knu laaicai uacivo in the league," are among the returning veterans, and this year are not encumbered with the hand and finger injuries they played with during the 1977 season. The Mustangs kicking game and special squads "should be real strong again this year," according to Spor-' seen, noting that Heppner's kicking skills "saved our bacon in at least three games last season." The Mustangs' offensive line Vis the best blocking line I've ever coached," Sporseen said. The line includes 190-lb. Jim Parker, Jody Marlatt, Scott McEwen and former end, Ron Young.

The redbirds' kicking game should be another plus this year, with returning senior Kevin McCabe, one of the league's leading punters, back on the field in the linebacker and running back positions. Meyers, who said he was reluctant to single out indivi dual players for praise prior to the start of the season's football action, noted that the Cards roster boasts three potential all-conference play ers, "six to eight top-notch ballplayers, with the rest not far behind." The Cardinals' head coach said he was pleased with preseason workouts and the mental attitude of his players. Cont. on page 7 f Family-V I Church I Church of the Sun. 10a.m. Chlldrni Church Sun.

REP WlPICa --r j HEPPNER 676-5241 YOUR CHANCE TO HAVE A SAY ABOUT ELECTRIC POWER RATES We invite you to comment on BPA's proposed power rate increase. We do not sell power directly to you, of course. We sell power only at wholesale. Most of the power we sell goes to the utilities which in turn sell to individual consumers. We also sell power directly to industries, and some to other government agencies. Impacts on the Consumer Wholesale power represents only part of the costs of utilities. So if we nearly double our rates, as we must to meet our obligations, it will not mean a doubling of your rates. But your utility probably will have to raise its rates to absorb the increased cost of BPA wholesale power. Some utilities get all their power from us, and some very little. What You Say Counts We're required by law to charge rates that pay all our costs. We know how much additional revenues we must have. But there are many ways to spread the increase other than straight across the board. For example, we have looked at rates based on the actual cost of service, new generation costs, environmental impacts, and both time-of-day and seasonal use. We'd like you to come in and hear our explanation of the options and our tentative proposal. Pick the time and place listed below which are most convenient to you. Please come and ask questions. We'll be back in November to hold another round of meetings called Public Com ment Forums. That's when you can give us your specific comments as to our preliminary proposal.
