out of 9 games this season;
made 249 points to the oppo
nents 62; and had 34 boys turn
ing out for practice. Away back
in 1924, Vernonia High School
didn’t have a football team.
This year the Loggers start
ed off with a new way of playing
football - the T-formation. With
some of the boys still working
on the farms and other jobs,
they started practicing and after
a short time had their first game
with Sabin High of Portland.
The Loggers won with a score
of 38 to 12.
Still working hard, the team
challenged Forest Grove and
on an excellent football even
ing, defeated them 25 to 7.
After this, the Loggers took
after the county football trophy.
Starting with St. Helens, whom
they had defeated three times
before and tied once, the Log
gers rubbed out the Lions, 38
to 0.
With these games past and
still one of the undefeated
teams of the state, the Loggers
downed the Seaside Seagulls,
26 to 0.
Hoping for an undefeated
season, the Loggers planned to
stay in shape and continue as
other well-known teams have
done. They scheduled a game
with Dayton and walked over
them 45 to 13 with the second
and third teams playing most of
the game.
Next the Loggers entered
the county again and played
the game that won the cham
pionship for them as they
squeezed by Scappoose, 7
to 6.
Hill Military was the next ob
jective and with a crippled
team, the Loggers entered the
army post to defeat the cadets,
25 to 6.
With seven wins and no
losses, the Loggers were being
recognized as a candidate for
the state championship. With
these hopes, they met and de
feated McMinnville, 32 to 0.
This brought Vernonia into the
district play-off.

pionship, the Loggers went
down to their first defeat. With
Columbia Prep starting the
scoring, the Loggers caught
up and passed them to lead at
the half, 13 to 6. The third
quarter, the Columbia Prep
team made a touchdown fail
ing to convert the extra point,
leaving the score 13 to 12.
With 1:20 seconds left in the
game and the score still 13 to
12, the Crusaders completed a
pass for the touchdown leav
ing the score at 18 to 13. This
was the end of an otherwise
good season.
