FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 1940 I SPORTS Vernonia District 5 Conquers To Hold Blue Barons Tourney 1WA Talley« 58 to Bar ons’ 29 in Friday Night Contest St. Helens to Act as Host to Teams Thursday, Fri day, Saturday The Vernonia IWA basketball quintet rose to tihe heighths Friday night here when they trounced the highly favored St. Helens Chamber of Commerce Blue Barons by the overwhelming score of 58 to 29. The undefeated Blue Barons, winners in 22 consecutive games, started fast to lead at the end of the first quarter 11 to 7. The sec ond quarter saw a shift in the IWA de ense to ciheck the sharpshooting of Ketel and Hamilton. The local boys hit their scoring stride in the second quarter and maintained it throughout the contest. The second half turned into a route as the hard-driving locals scored at will over their bigger opponents. The Vernonia offense was led by Carter, Aldrich and King aided by the excellent floor work of Rundell and Coach Merle Chase. Especially notable was the fine game of Ralph Aldrich, veteran center, in holding the high-scoring Earl Hamilton, six-foot-six Blue Baron center in check while scoring six field goals and two foul con versions. Earl King, IWA defensive player figured prominently in the scoring by connecting for twelve points, mostly on long trys from mid floor. This new scoring punch from back court will add greatly to the team’s offensive in future games. Ed Carter, fast-breaking forward led the point-getters with 10 field goals and two foul conversions. A yeturn game is being sought by the Blue Barons at a later date. Lineups: Blue Barons Vernonia IWA F (1) Hiatt Carter (22) F (13) Ketel Chase (•'>) C (4) Hamilton Aldrich (14) G (4) Rutherford Rundell (3) G (6) Bergman King (12) Due to unexpected happenings, the district basketball playoff as planned previously has been Chang- id. Three Columbia county teams lave tied which would have necess- tated both a county as well as a listrict playoff, an impractical set up before the State Tournament o be held in Salem March 13-14- 15-16.

There are seven Class A schools in the two counties included in District 5: five in Columbia an* wo in Clatsop. In order to elimin ate a bye, it was decided to add an ighth team which will be the “B” nr second team <r" the host school, St. Helens second team will then his year make the eighth team, Expenses of the tournament, in- eluding hotel, food and transports- tioi for the players will be paz- fi. m the receipts of the tourna ment; remaining money will be div ided equally between the schools.
