M ustangs post 26-0 victory over Bobcats
The Heppner Mustangs used hard
running, accurate passing and a
swarming defense to post a 26-0 vic
tory over the visiting Union Bobcats
Friday, Sept. 6, at the Morrow
County fairgrounds.
Heppner scored twice in the first
quarter and once in the second
quarter to build an early lead and
then let the entire roster play in the
second half. The Mustangs started
fast, scoring on their first two
possessions. Sophomore quarterback
Rick Koffler hit veteran Jason Britt
with a play action 37-yard bomb to
cap a quick six play 52 yard drive.
The pat was unsuccessful and Hepp
ner led, 6-0.

Ryan Currin for a touchdown the
next time Heppner got the ball. The
pat was also no good and it was 12-0
for the home team. The extra point
kicking was one of the few negatives
for the Mustangs.
Union had six possessions in the
first half and all of them were three
plays and punt. The swarming
defense, led by Kindle, Currin,
senior Charlie Rathbun, Shane
Munkers and Britt, stifled the Bob
cats at every turn.

Meanwhile the Mustangs were
running the ball down the Bobcats’
throats. Kindle scored on a rumbl
ing, bumbling, stumbling, spinning,
twisting 37-yard play in the second
quarter. T.R. Riehl, a hard-running
junior halfback, ran the pat in to
make the score 20-0 at the half.
Kindle capped the Mustangs’ scor
ing for the night with a one-yard run
in the third quarter. The drive
covered 55 yards and took 10 plays.

The lone Cardinals kicked off
their football season with a win over
Wasco County last Saturday, Sept.
7, but only after overcoming a
somewhat shaky start. The Redsides
scored first by sacking quarterback
David Wagenblast in the end zone
for a safety. The Cards survived
those rocky first minutes and ac
counted for the next five scores in
the game, while keeping Wasco
county out of the end zone until the
final quarter. lone’s first win of the
season was a 36-16 victory.
Sophomore fullback. Brian Holtz,
scored three touchdowns for the
Cards while racking up 192 yards on
just six carries. Overall, lone ran the
ball 42 times for 326 yards. The
Redsides were held to just 35 yards
on 24 carries by a stingy Cardinal
defense. Finding success on the
ground, the Cards did a limited
amount of passing, completing five
of 12 for 43 yards. Wasco County
was eight for 19 in the air for 151
yards and one interception.
According to coach Gregg Riet-
mann, the Cards had trouble getting
organized in the early going of the
game. Another large problem was a
315-pound defensive lineman play
ing for Wasco County. Once the
team settled down and made a few
necessary adjustments, they were
able to power past the Redsides.
The Cards return an experienced

Six starters return on defense and,

“ The defense gets stronger every
week.” lone’s first string defense
held the Wasco County Redsides
scoreless in last Saturday’s outing.
The Cards finished last season

looking to improve on that. The next

Around 75 guests gathered at the
Hardman Community Center to help
celebrate the 72nd wedding anniver
sary of local residents, Houston and
Marie Lesley.
Dressed in pink and white outfits
and looking as though they were pos
ing for the cover of a bride
magazine, this very trim, spry cou
ple cut the first slices of a huge three
tiered wedding cake. Pink decora
tions and flowers graced the dinner
tables and adorned the walls of this
old building that was remodeled and
has become a popular meeting place.
Now a young 95 years of age,
Houston grew up on the family ranch
near Monument. He enlisted in the
Army when he was 21 and spent 2'A
years in the service as a non
commissioned officer during World
War I.
After he returned home he met
Marie at a dance in Monument.
Though they both became young
adults in the John Day region, they
never met during childhood. But it
was at that dance that Marie said she
was immediately attracted to “ that
good-looking guy in uniform.”
Marriage vows were exchanged in
a John Day church on September 1,
1919. Houston was dressed in a
fashionable blue suit with bell bot
tomed trousers. Marie wore a fancy
white dress, but no veil. Her ac
cessories included yard flowers
fashioned into a bouquet by the
groom’s younger sister.
A honeymoon camping trip was
delayed until Houston completed
repairs on his $80 investment in a us
ed automobile. For lack of a tent, the
couple fashioned tree boughs into a
shelter when rain persisted in
showering them during the honey
moon. Their pioneering skills came
in handy then, as well as during their
early years on the family ranch.
In 1926, Huston took over the
stage line from Canyon City to Long
Creek, where they made their home.
Roads became more passable than
mere rutted tracks, Huston said, and
vehicle dependability improved from
the days when car axles broke or
other repairs were part of a day’s
journey.
In 1940, they moved to Portland
to work in the shipyards during
World War II. Three years later they
sold their home in Estacada and
headed back for Eastern Oregon.
At Hardman, they said they ran
out of gas. That delay became per
manent, as they have been there 48
years. The Lesleys were the last
shopkeepers in Hardman with a
combined general store, garage and
gas station. No more running out of
gas, they said. The building, which
was also the post office, became
home. Marie served as post mistress
for 23 years until rural mail delivery
came about and the post office was
closed because of the declining
population of the town.
Their businesses also dwindled
and they closed the doors eventual
ly, but they never considered leav
ing there, they said.
Unlike those earlier days, when
the plumbing was out back, water
was carried from the pitcher pump
on the community’s well and they
had no electricity, the Lesleys
received a new television set as an
anniversary present from their three
daughters. Those daughters are
Nellie Hobson, Lake Oswego;
Genieve Woolery, Oregon City and
Fern Yeakel. Seattle, Wa.
The Lesleys also have eight grand
children, 14 great-grandchildren and
five great-great-grandchildren.
Houston is the eldest of 12 children,
seven of which are still living. Com
ing to join the celebration were his
sister, Lela Sloan, Pendleton and his
brother Bill Lesley, Monument.
Before you make your
commitments,
You’re ready to
commit yourselves
with a symbol
of love.
We understand
take a look
at ours.

A flair pass, from Koffler to Kindle
for 20 yards and a sweep, netting
Kindle 25 of his 100 yards for the
night, were the big plays in the
drive. Both Kindle and Riehl benefit-
ted from the good early season
blocking of juniors Ryan Pence,
Shane Munkers and Kevin Kilken
ny and sophom ores Dwayne
Dunaway and Joe Lindsay.
The defense kept Union in check.
The Bobcats got their first down of
the game with 2:05 left in the third
quarter.
Coach Grant cleared the bench in
the third and fourth quarters as
Heppner went on to post its first vic
tory without a loss for the season.
The Mustangs were without the
services of senior Travis Greenup,
out with an early season injury and
junior Scott Coe, hurt in an
automobile accident. Both could be
back for the Mustangs’ next game.
Heppner travels to Joseph Friday,
September 13 for a 1 p.m. contest.
