THURSDAY OCTOBER 18, THREK VERNONIA EAGLE, VERNONIA. OREGON 1928 I The Timber Line News of Vernoniaf Schools La Velie Gosa Editor J ' France« Lappe Leaving For San Francisco Rainier Wins Spirited Football Game Here Saturday 18-0 Rainier high school eleven hand- ed Vernonia defeat Saturday on the local gridiron, 18-0. For the first half the battle was a toss-up as to who would win. Rainier then rallied and inarched the ball from the middle of the field across the chalkiuarked line by a series of end runs and line smashes. The other two touch downs cam- in the third quarter when Rainier intercepted two pas. ses and ran across the goal. All tries for points were unsuccessful. After Vernonia failed to gain consistently through the line and around ends, they opened a flashy which completely aerial attack stumped the defense. More than once the well formed overhead at- tack brought the ball from the middle of the field to the ten, fifteen, and twenty-yard lines, but each time the opposing forces were there to stop the opposing charges. Fourteen passes were completed, which netted about 100 yards. The Vernonia team suffered greatly when George Oberst, half, and Harold Nelson, tackle were in jured and had to be replaced by reserves.

Mr. Lappe will remain in Vernonia where he will retain his position as a foreman in the Oregon-Ameri- can mill. Frances Lappe is a member of the senior class of the Vernonia high school. Many of her class mates are grieved at losing her. as she is well liked by all who know her. She will finish her high school career in the California schools.—M.L. We Wonder...........

Pupil« Riding in Mist Bus Rally Peps Up Students For Game Last Week; Have Hilarious Trips Led By “Buzz Saws” All the pupis in the Mist bus believe in having a good time, Sometimes we are so noisy that the driver has to quiet us down. But what more could be expected of restless students riding such a distance to school. The boys are put up by the driver, and the girls are assigned to sit in the back. This does not help matters any as the boys are always seek ing to take out their revenge in every way possible. There is always a constant chat tering, gossiping, or whatever you wish to call it. In one end of the bus lessons are being discussed, and at the other end there may be joking, story telling, laughter, and are what not. Sometimes games played. Our bus is not so crowded as it was at the beginning of the year, as the pupils living in the Vernonia district are being trans ported by a stage now. Whiie they were riding with us there were over thirty in the bus, which made it very uncomfortable riding. As we near Natal on the return trip, the pupils begin to thin out a bit. About five miles more and we will have reached our destina tion, home, which is a great re lief after riding over about 17 or 18 miles of hard, bumpy roads in none too comfortable seats. —L.G.

For of all the sixes available at as little as $745 only Pontiac offers bodies by Fisher—a 186-cubic inch engine—the cross-flow radiator—a fuel pump—the famous G-M-R cylinder head. Only Pontiac offers such stamina and long life. And only Pontiac offers special factory equipment including six wire wheels and tires with the two spares cradled in fender wells at slight additional cost... With all these exclusive fea tures Pontiac Six has established itself as fore most among all low-priced sixes. And with good reason, for where else can you find such advantages for as little as $745?
