SPORTS Through The Eagle’s Eyes 41 VERNONIA EAGLE, VERNONIA, OREGON PAGE TEN FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1938 HORT FIGHT CARD SLATED TUES HOTS FIRST 1938 DOGGONE COLD— This writer, having deviled other sportsmen for many years concern- ng peculiar quips of fate that have placed them in the limelight now and then, apologizes profusely this week and hopes that none of them have become roiled or in jured at what has been said in print. We are placed in the feat ure column this week for our hav ing slipped on an icy log at the mouth of the Fishhawl. the past week and felt the ice-cold watei encompass our all-to-eager body. Yes, ’tis a fact. We fell in the Nehalem, clear over our head with all of the clothes on that it takes to be a good (but-none-to-success- ful) fisherman, Just “natcherly" lost our footing as we made way out on a log and . . . kerplunk . . . into the water we went, clothe: and all. All we can say is that the water is cold along about this time of the year and the fish did- n't bite any better afterward than they did before. Anyway, laugh now at the editor! TONIGHT— Taking another notch in theii belts, the Vernonia Loggers ari determined to make it a win to night over the Rainier outfit. Not yet have the Loggers managed tc eke out a win over the outfits Coach MacDonald says, its the tour nament that counts and perhaps by that time Vernonia can get itsell together and surprise some of the county fives. We hope so and we earnestly pray that the worm will turn victory up for the locals and their coach. RAINIER PERHAPS Paul Adams Part GAME ON NEIGHBOR’S FLOOR IS EN.’OYF.D, REPORT INDICATES Two games, one a serious affair, and the other in which Birkenfeld and Vernonia high school fiv.s ex- chan.ed players, were th ■ high point of ths Loggers’ activity this week. Vernonia won i tie “serious” af- fair 29-2’ i usin • for the 1 v » • part second I string players. The games were played Monday after- noon. MEMBER— Adolph Nelson, one of the better known anglers of the community, and’ one who has probably stored up the largest number of excellent hunting and game stories, was the first to join the N.baleni Hunters and Anglers club for 1938, a report this week states. Membership in the group has been set at $1 a year and a drive for active and associate member will g t under way soon, the of- ficials indicate. R1 VER’S GRADERS TO BATTLE FOR HONOR IT'S THE REASON— The Astoria Bottlers, the outfit from Astoria that failed to show here Saturday night for a game with the Vernonia Teachers, arc members of the A. A. U. (Ameri can Amatuer Union) and that may be the reason that the 2-year-in- a-row Astoria city league champ? would not come here for the game. Someone said that member“ are pro h.bited from engaging in battle- w;th nnn-member outfits. At any rate, Manager Red Ranes had this io say "Whether we amatutrs or not, we p -obably as amateurish as one I want.” Anyway, the Bottlers iT come. BASEBALL SOON— About two days out of every week the sun comes out and brings on a bad case of spring and base ball fever. We wouldn’t be surprised if some of these' days some rabid Daseballist comes into the office w.tn the Vernonia lineup for the 1H38 season. 30 ROUNDS, FAST AND FURIOUS AMATUER BOXING SET FOR 7:30: By far and large the most import- and sports event in Vernonia for the coming week is the announce- j inent of the 30-round fight card , slated for the Washington grade ( chool gym Tuesday evening nt 7:30 when the pugnacious lads of he Grade School boxing club get 'ogether to fight it out in 10 3- round battles. The affair, of course, is a strict ly amatuer event, with the boys battling for the “maiden fair” or at least for her favor if she likes a fighter. Admission prices have been low, 10 cents and 25 cents, and the club boys, working to bene- fit their school gym fund, are hope- ful that a large crowd of local fans will show. “We’re not mad at nobody,” one husky grader said yesterday, “but we’ll put on a real card to raise the money to replace some of our gym stuff.” W. T. Berg, instructor, is in charge of the event and said that the individual bouts have not been made and that, in all probability, I i the matches would not be made un d a short time before tile card. The list of prospective fighters, | however, follows: Fred Lusby, George Sabalino, Ger- ild Hobin, Bobby Silvis, Max Mill- s, Rudy Sabalino, Mathew Esimo, Darrell Rose, Leonard Belongia, Al fred Geortzen, Jack /Craford, Harry Lusby, Lewis Adams, Edgar Cul bertson, Leonard Buckner, De Ver Byers, Loren Atkins, Berl Amer, Larry Barday, Eddie Poetter, Char les McDonald, Richard Robbins, Ralph McDonald, Don Wilkinson, Clifford Lines, Curtis Andrew, Earl Allen, Lee Lindl.y, Richard Reiter, George Woods and John McCabe.
