(>ARA(j Consider Clatskanie Team Hard To Beat 4 Just why this Saturday's game with Clatskanie is considered the hurdle towards the county cham pionship, is hard to say, unless the Clatskanie team is considered the hardest team to defeat. Rumors of Rainier's football team float to this city, as having a stronger team than last being heavier and faster. However, by this coming Sat- urday, the local team will pre- sent a better working machine, due to the experience gained in the last two games played with St. Helens and Forest Grove. Bush, Hieber, Kirk and Adams show wonderful form, and a stiong, smooth working backfield. Much improvement is seen in the playing of Lee, Christiansen, Berg, Bennett, George, Craven and Sorlee on the line, with strong substitutes in Culver, Cummings, and the two Marshall boys. Each day this week the team has seen many hours of stren uous practice, and the team that Coach Austin will present on the field Saturday for the game against Clatskanie will play foot ball with plenty of speed and skill. The passing in last week's game by the home team was near perfect. Making 12 complete passes, Vernonia outplayed its opponents, and Bush well timed every pass, getting good coop- eration. It is predicted that this Satur- day will see a good turnout to support the home team when they meet a much heavier team here at the ball park at 2 p.m. Golf Tournament Started At St. Helens Sunday The St. Helens vs. West St. Helens golf tournament started Sunday and will continue one week, it was announced. A dona tion of 50 cents from each mem ber of the 24 men teams is be ing collected to purchase a silver cup for the winner, which will remain permanently with the team who wins it three times in succession. The losing team must also give a banquet to the win ners. The following is the list of candidates: Howe vs. Sage, Thompson vs. Rubens, Bailey vs. A. E. Lund, Beneville vs. Hutch, W. Rutherford vs. B.

St. Helens Misses Meal And Loses Game To Vernonia The following writeup appear ed in the St. Helens Sentinel of October 3 regarding the St. Hel- ens-Vernonia game September 28: Although the ball was in nonia's territory about fifths of the time and St. Helens made 10 first downs to Verno nia’s one, the local boys were de feated in last Saturday’s game 6 to 0. Going on the field an hour and a half earlier than they had expected and with nothing to eat since breakfast because they had had to push their Ford truck part of the way the boys were defeat ed by a 50 yard run following a lateral pass play. The ball was dead when it hit the ground but was picked up and carried, unhin dered, over the goal line. St. Hel ens’ biggest weaknesses were a weak line and uncertain signals. The defeat is especially unfor tunate for St. Helens as it may have a strong bearing on the con ference championship this fall. Vernonia’s return game October 19 will not be a conference game and Saturday's score will stand in the conference schedule. » As to the St. Helens team go- Our Garage Service Standard« garage r have biles.

RICHFIELD MANUFACTURING ASPHALT PAVING MATERIAL LOS ANGELES, Sept. 30— That famous slogan of the speed way or airway, “Richfield wins again,” is being applied to pave ment work, for the company whose gasoline has become world-famous for speed, is now engaged in manufacturing and distributing one of the finest asphalt paving materials. Such is the assertion of J. R. Keane, president of the Western Asphalt association and an offic ial of Richfield and Pan-Ameri can, who declares that the man ufacturers of asphaltic oils are as particular about quality as are the manufacturers of gasoline and other high-test oil products. “One of the important tasks now being done by Richfield and other manufacturers of high grade asphalt is the reconstruc tion at small cost, of pavements made by old-time and less ef ficient processes,” declared Mr. Keane. “Twenty years ago or so, far less was known about efficient paving than today—irepectioii and high standards were not so keen. No matter what type pave ment was laid—brick, cement, asphalt—there was by no means the wearing quality that will be found in present day pavements. We Would Like That the same insistence upon high quality which has made Richfield gasoline and Richlube oil the favorite with motorists and aviators, has caused city en gineers and others to insist on Richfield asphalt, is the assertion of J. R. Keane, president of the Western Asphalt association. Keane, whq is an official of the Richfield-Pan-American Asphalt um department calls attention to the newest “wrinkle” evolved by asphalt engineers in repairing old roads and pavements with, new, improved asphalt finish. Upper photo shows a street paved 20 years ago, being treated with one of the new heaters. Below, the treated pavement is being resurfaced with Richfield asphalt and rolled into a pavement which, according to Keane, will last “indefinitely.” Consequently there is a big de mand for asphaltum resurfacing by the latest method—a re-paving which is admitted to be as per manent as can be" had, at the lowest possible cost. Richfield’s interest in asphalt highways dates from that com- pany’s merger . some tim" t 0 with Pan-American, at which ti..ie Richfield acquired what i:i ilo. dared to be the “finest aud most complete” asphalt plant in the world. Richfield asphalt, it is stated, is being marketed through out the world, especially in West ern America, Pacific Inlands and the Orient. and children of Westimber mo tored to Salem Sunday.

Ill timing from the wing back to the No. 4 back was responsible for the poor showing and unless there is improvement the play will be a fine opportunity for the next op ponent’s ends and tackles to throw the Webfoots for losses. changed in service changed have The game started at 2:30, one- half hour behind the regular scheduled time, so it appears that the Tigers were under the im pression that the game would be ailed at 4 p.m. They claimed having nothing o eat since breakfast, because they had to push their Ford ruck part of the way. Must be ill Scotchmen on the team, to riiss a meal and still try to push their truck, Why not try buying some gas? Referring to Vernonia’s turn game October 19, which will not be a conference game. The .‘ounty seat team evidently has this game already won. Let’s see, Vernonia won from Forest Grove last Saturday 7 to 6 in a fast game, the local foot ball team defeating a much hea vier team. Why not concede the local team a chance to defeat them October 19? Ira Hyde, editor of the St. Hel ens Mist, gave the facts regard ing the game of September 28, stating that his home town was defeated, and, while one of the best boosters of St. Helens, re- fused to “frame” his writeup with alibis. Frol bably Ira and a few more Columbia county editors remem ber some good fighters who miss- ed many a meal, pushed trucks and gun carriages through the mud, lost and won, received glory modestly as a just reward for their efforts, and when defeated had no alibi, conceding probably that they had met, for that one engagement, a better group of lighters, under a superior leader. The editor of the Eagle is for Vernonia high school football team, if they win he is just as thrilled and as happy as the play ers themselves. If they lose fairly ms paper will give the invading team just credit for defeating his team or saying that Vernonia was defeated by a superior team who outclassed them. A eat can look at a queen.
