igger squad gives Cardinals high
standing in Big Sky conference
A seasoned and somewhat
bigger lone football squad
should give the Cardinals their
best shot in recent years at
being among the leading
contenders in Big Sky Confer
ence competition.
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

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

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.

of the time, if necessary, and
run a little power and a little
spread.
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.

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.
