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.

performances, Saturday and

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.
Upland bird seasons some
what more generous than last
year and waterfowl seasons
nearly identical to those in
1978 have been set by the Fish
and Wildlife Commission.
