SIX The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday. July 3, I!t7; v.: I I Monday Morning Quarterback By Jim Hackett Sometimes, it's advantageous for sportswriters to read the news accounts of other weekly newspapers. You find out the other side of the story. Take for instance, a story which appeared in the Milton-Freewater Valley Herald on the Heppner-Milton-Freewater Swim Meet. "The team lost another close meet to the Heppner B squad Monday in Heppner," but according to M-Fswim team Coach Randy Grant, "The Heppner team was using different rules than Milton-Freewater." "They had some of their best people swimming in all five events," he said, "The rules call for a maximum of three." Grant said his team was entering individuals in a maximum of three events and by the time he noticed it, it was too late. Final score at Heppner was 215 to 214. I haven't heard Heppner's side of the story but I hope when the Milton-Freewater team returns, that the rules are explained before the meet. I wouldn't take a position on this one with a ten foot pole. Well, turning to something less controversial, I had the opportunity of attending the Oregon Open Money Horseshoe Tournament held Saturday and Sunday in Hermiston. I arrived at the less exciting moments of the tourney during the running of the Class F portion of the event (the top horseshoe players in the Northwest start in the A category), but did enjoy the ringer action. The high winds were lowering the percentages of the tourney leaders and "Deadeye" Walter Williams, Jr., the world's horseshoe pitching champion at 19 won the Open Money tourney with a 10-1 record and only a 60.55 percentage of ringers compared to his usual 86 percent average. Herb Criss, Bremerton, was second in the tourney and Walter Williams Jr.'s brother, Jeff Williams, was fifth. Both brothers are from Chino, California. For the win, Williams shot 396 ringers out of 654 shots and had his best games right before the wind and rain struck with two games at 84 percent ringers and after that 67 and 57 percent. He won a total of $510 and according to Bill Bighaus, sports editor of the Hermiston Herald, has totaled about $1,200 in winnings in the last four years of the tournament. Horseshoe playing, as you can tell, is not on an equal par with the money earned with the Professional Golfers Association or tennis tournaments. In talking with some of the horseshoe players, I learned a great deal of their winnings go for travel expenses to tournaments throughout the Northwest. Heppner swimmers place third in three way meet Heppner swimmers placed third in a three-way meet this week against Hermiston and Pendleton teams, scoring a total of 81 points. The swim team competed last weekend in the Hood River Invitational "B" meet, sponsored by the Oregon A.A.U. Association.
