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.

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.
As a consequence, District 5 will
hold its eighth annual tournament
as before, this year at St. Helens,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
•’ebruary 29, March 1 and 2. Ths
double elimination system will be
ised; that is, each team must be
iefeated twice before being elimin­
ated from the play-offs.
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.
Thursday at 3 o’clock in the
ifternoon, Vernonia plays St. Hel­
ens; at 4 o’clock, Rainier plays Sea-
ide; at 8:30 Astoria plays Ctats-
hrtiie. The remainder of the sche-
lule depends on the progress of
each team on the ladder of the
tournament.

Captains Choose Sides
for Competing Teams in
Match
The Vernonia Legion Post Wed­
nesday night held another of its
annual “shoots” by choosing sides
and competing under the leadership
of George Baker as one captain
and C. L. Anderson as the other.
Reports of the match state that
competition was keen and betting
heavy although pay offs were few
by losers. Many alibis were prof-
ferred to explain poor marksman­
ship.
Individual and total scores were
as follows:
Anderson 107
