SPORTS—Through The Eagle’s Eyes PAGE TEN HORT PORT S FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1938 VERNONIA EAGLE, VERNONIA, OREGON HOTS SEASIDE IN COUNTY LEAGUE NOW— A formal decision last Monday- evening at a meeting of coaches ard instructors of different schools in the county formally placed in effect ths idea of admitting Sea side into the league of teams for merly composed only from schools within the Columbia county dis trict. By the vote the number of teams available for competition is brought from will which to six which prove to an form easier a number of contests, Previous to schedule the number has been so this time to make it impossible tc* small as entire season with games without fill an seeking competition from cutside teams. This problem will be out now to some extent and will give fans, whether it be footbal', basketball, track or something else, a chance to see more competition towards a league championship. COLUMBIA LEAGUE, NOT COLUMBIA CO. LEAGUE— Along with the decision to lei Seaside in came a change in title. No more will “Columbia County League” grace publicity items rela tive to member school’s activities. It will be known just as the “Col umbia League” and so it should be for Seaside does not come within boundary lines of Columbia county itself. I IA MORAL VICTORY FOR ¡VERNONIA— Certainly Rainier captured the high count for last Saturday’s fracas with the Loggers but she didn’t gain the enlarged count that has been so prevalent in most all other Rainier games this season. And that surely means something when Ver nonia wasn’t rated a show at thte shuffle. That proves one thing that the dopesters on football can easily ’ lose their shirts when it comes figuring the future from the past.1 Just remember what resulted bet-! ween Scappoose and Seaside last i Saturday—a scoreless tie— and after what Scappoose did to Pacific- University’s freshman outfit last week. Pacific went down 13 to 6. 1 PAUL’S DISPOSITION IS BETTER NOW— Even if Rainier ¿id go home with another victory this time at the expense of Vernonia, Coach Paul Gordon has a better disposition than he has had for some time. He knows row that the boys can do something tc their credit even agaipst heavy odds and that makes the future look less dark especially after Clats kanie bowed to the wood choppers. BASKETBALL CITY LEAGUE GETS TALK— Not much to be sure but some talk has been floating around as co the possibilities of a city basket ball league this winter. One entry is assured, a team from the teach ers and that although small, is a beginning. There’s plenty of time yet to do something about it, and plenty of time to iron out all the details, but is does no harm to keep the idea in mind. I A l\TB 1 Ix'I'i X T>X7~ Jj I TEACHERS DECISION TAKEN AT TEACHER’S MEETING MONDAY Principals and instructors repre senting different schools of the county at a meeting Monday even ing voted another school into the group formerly comprising the Col- umbia county league to, in the future, form a league of six teams. Formerly the number has been five, Vernonia, St. Helens, Clatskanie, Rainier and Scappoose. The new name added, that f Seaside, will be a permanent fea ture of the newly formed league with the action to take effect this season. Seaside has games scheduled vith all the county teams but only is a fill-in date and not as a regu lar member of the group. In voting the newcimer to the league the name was also changed to be known in the future as the Columbia League. The action was taken at the monthly meeting of the school- master’s club, held this month at Rainier.

Vernonia Auto Co Chevrolet Motor Cars Vernonia Authorized Service Mr. and Mrs. Roy Pickett of Bend arrived in Vernonia Wednes^ day for a visit of several days dura tion with Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Alex ander. I Information received here the past week revealed a football find in George (Sonny) Jessee for Ore- ’on Norm l ci Mer- outh. In con- tests so far this season Jessee has hown his ability a a broken-field lunner and in line plays for the Good Showing Made Against Leading Team I of League I Losing what amounted to > pract-. ically a win considering scores made by Rainier against other teams in the county league, the Vernonia Loggers dropped their Saturday contest here by a 14 to 0 score with the river team. So far during the season Rainier has been in the habit of walking away easily with every game they played but Saturday changed that picture to the extent that they left the grid iron with only 14 points to the good. Vernonia’s attack during the aft- ernoon consisted very largely of passes thrown by Bill Byers anil Vic LaPorte with a large percent age of them being completed for a considerable gain in yardage. Although boasting a line averag I ing several pounds heavier than the Vernonia forward wall, when it Ii became necessary to stop a yard age advance to prevent first down the Loggers were able to stiffen to an extent sufficient to accomplish that end. By a stiff schedule of practice sessions Coach Gordon has succeed- ed to a large extent in grinding the team into form which may see Vernonia near the top position at the close of the county league sea son. Counting the game this Satur day with Sheridan there yet re mains three contests in the season for football enthusiasts. Besides Sheridan, Scappoose and Seaside yet remain on the list, Scappoose due here October 29 and Seaside there on November 11. Saturday’s lineup was: Pos. Rainier Vernonia Klepp LE Morris LT Elliott McKenzie Burnham McCabe LG Bardell Aldrich C RC, C. Girt Hausler RT Sakari Schmidlin Rauch RE Rundell QB Bill Procter LaPorte LH G. Girt J. Byers Bob Procter RH Millis FB James I B. Byers -n. LUNCHES SHERIDAN NAMED TO FILL GAME VACANCY SATURDAY Through a miscalculation in schedule arrangements of Hills boro authorities the game there this Saturday for the Loggers was called, for as it was stated by Hillsboro, some trouble had resulted making it impossible for them to play. Warning of the no game prospect for this weekend brought quick action by Vernonia athletic circles with the result that Sheridan was finally contacted. Having an open space the game was immediately taken and the Log gers will go there Saturday. Little information can be ob tained as to Sheridan's show ing so far this season but it is thought that the game will not prove too difficult. i.ge and this is his first year of. steady turn out with the Loggers. | Alternating with Baker is Millis who rates as a good offensive man, having proved himself capable in this bracket through a year’s ex perience previous to the present sea- s<n. In addition to rating as valu able offensive material Millis holds ths honor of being the fastest man on the field. Millis is 16 years of age and weighs 155 pounds approxi mately. The remaining Junior member of the squad is Melvin Powell who serves as an alternate end, this be ing his first year on the field. So far during the season he has shown numerous possibilities for develop ment and should with a good deal of work be able to show a high rating in play for the coming year. I Powell is aged 16 and weighs 160. DOG SALMON RUNNING Reports eminating from the vie inity of Birkenfeld say that dog salmon are coming up the river in large numbers to spawn. It is ex pected that silversides will appear within a short time. DINNERS SHORT ORDERS Cooked to your taste. T Sunday Chicken Dinner a Regular Feature. Light Selected Beverages of All Kinds!
