Rodeo action interrupted only by a musical act popular with rodeo fans across the nation will be the main entertainment scene at the Pacific International Live stock Exposition Oct. 13-20 in the Expo Center in north Portland. It will be the first time the professional rodeo cowboys won't be. sharing time and space with an amateur horse show at the P-I, a develop ment welcomed by pure rodeo fans. Some of the nation's , biggest livestock shows with which the P-I ranks put their top entertainment emphasis on rodeo. The mid-point musical en tertainment will be western Hard hitting was a sign of last weeks game against Riverside despite the lopsided score of 26-0 in favor of the Heppner Mustangs . Tomorrow nights battle here against Weston-McEwen promises to be action packed High scoring Weston-McEwen battles Heppner's stingy defense Bird hunting should be good singer Judy Lynn and her popular show the oppning four performances, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 13 and 14, and all world cowboy Larry Mahan and his band Monday, Oct. 15, through the concluding perfor mance Saturday, Oct. 20. Except for a brief hiatus when it tried amateur rodeo, the P-I rodeo has always drawn strong representation from the top national rodeo competitors in all of the five standard events. Besides Ma han, the Salem and Brooks, Oregon product who was six times rodeo's top money winner, the names of count less other legendary riders, ropers and bulldoggers have echoed in the rafters of the P-I arena. Even though ihe southwest is the heart of rodeo America, the sport has always been strong in the territory from which the P-I draws its chief livestock exhibitors the range county of Oregon, Washington and Idaho. There's Dean Oliver of Boise, of course, the great calf roper who is rodeo's all time top money winner. He compe ted last year at the P-I after a long layoff. There was that great year, 1969, when the top four cowboys of the nation were all from the Northwest, three of them from Oregon Larry Mahan at the top, followed by Doug Brown of Silverton, Ore., Oliver, and Mark Schricker from Suther Iin. Not only that but Ken Santon of Weiser, Ida., was a respectable 9th. . That year those five took home a total of $159,465. An increased purse for the Pacific International Rodeo is expected to attract an even larger number of top cowboys this year. Last year the P-I rodeo drew 222 entrants, including a strong represent tion of cowboys ranking in the top ten in their specialties. Admission to the rodeo and Judy Lynn or Larry Mahan musical shows is $5 reserved and $4 general admission. The price includes the $2 admis sion to the livestock show. Heppner resident third in steer wrestling match Heppner's Clay West placed third in the steer wrestling competition at the recent Oregon State Fair Rodeo in Salem. West wrestled the bull headed steer down in 13.2 seconds. The winner of the event was Jim Kittleson of Eugene. He won with a time of 6.2 seconds. In second place was Arlen Driggers of Baker with a time of 9.2 seconds. Ray Mayfield of Aurora was fourth with a clocking of 17.5 seconds. Footballs will be flying in the air tomorrow night in Heppner when the Weston McEwen TigerScots come to town to take on the Heppner Mustangs at 8 p.m. Both of the teams had big wins last week. Heppner shut-out rival Riverside 26-0 and the TigerScots beat Wasco County just a little worse, 27-0. The two teams are tied for first in the Columbic Basin Conference. Weston-McEwen will match a very high-scoring potent offense against Heppner's stingy defense which has not allowed a touchdown in two games this season. The TigerScots are led by quarterback Ken Devereaux and wide receiver Jim Rice. Against the Redsides last week, Devereaux hit on an amazing 11 of 16 passes for 229 yards. Rice caught five passes for 128 yards despite being double teamed most of the night. Rice is not the only one on the team who can catch the ball however so the Mustangs cannot just concentrate on him. Six different teammates caught at least one pass in the Wasco County game. Weston-McEwen, 2-0, can also run the ball. Ross Simmons averaged 12 yards per carry last week, four carries for 48 yards, and Jeff Two teams tied in Sparetimer'sLeague Mitchell averaged better than five yards per try with 47 yards on nine carries. Heppner, also 2-0 had an impressive game of its own last week at Riverside. Heppner took the opening kick-off and marched 63 yards on 14 plays with its ball control styled offense to take the lead 7-0. The drive took six minutes. Sophomore tailback John Murray was the work horse on the drive as he carried the ball nine times for 45 yards. Murray scored three touchdowns on the night and ended the game as the leading rusher with 60 yards on 18 carries. The generous Riverside squad fumbled on its first play from scrimmage alter the kick-off and the opportunistic Heppner squad recovered the fumble. Murray scored from the two-yard line just four plays later and Heppner led 13-0. In the second period. Joedy Marlatt broke through the line and blocked a Pirate punt and Heppner's Dale Holland re covered the ball at the two-yard line. Murray went in for a touchdown on the next play and the point after touchdown was good by Jim Parker and the Mustang's were way out in front 20-0. Heppner had one more long, grind it out drive in the fourth stanza for its final score. The seven-minute, 15-play, 62-yard drive ended with junior quar terback John Bier passing a two yard TD throw to Dale Holland. Heppner's defense was awe some in the contest and they certainly hope to do just as well against Weston-Mc-Ewen's potent offense tomor row night. The Mustangs held Riverside to zero net yards rushing and just 71 yards passing. The Heppner offense grounded out 162 yards rush ing on 53 attempts. Quarter back Bier hit on four-of-five passes for 31 yards. The Heppner defensive backlield will be tested tomor row night by the arm of Ken Devereaux and wide receiver Jim Rice.
