SPORT TOPICS MBLVIN SCHWAB Sporta Editor BATEMAN WINS Clinic Settles Rule Queries CLUB TITLE About 30 Columbia county coach es, potential referees and fans attended the football clinic held in the library at St. Helens high school last Friday evening. Chas. Orr, president of the state foot ball officials’ association, presided over the meeting and gave a clear, concise explanation and interpre tation of the new high school rules and answered questions on many of the more complicated rulings. At the conclusion of the clinic an examination was given to men who intend to officiate games in the county this year. The Vernonia coaching staff was represented at the clinic.

Heading the group is Terry Brady, president. Others named are: Dick Thompson, vice-president; Jack Frank, secretary; Calvin Bass, treasurer and John Brown sergeant-at-arms. AU lettermen and prospective lettermen are members of the group. Jim Baker pitcher for the Seap- poose high school baseball nine last spring, can also pitcfi a foot ball with precision and accuracy. He threw three touchdown passes as his team won a 19-12 victory over McMinnville in its opening grid encounter on the Grizzlies field. Although the Grizzlies lost many of the members of their 1946 club which went to the semi-finals of the state tournament, the team had a big weight advantage over their Scappoose rivals. However, their main weakness proved to be a poor pass defense as the backs were slow in covering the receiv ers. In addition to Baker’s passing display, the Scappose backs were able to gain on the ground fairly consistently with Fullback Herb Lange accounting ,for several sizeable advances. Defensively Glen Redwine at end and Ray Al len at center showed up well for the Tribe. In its next game Scappoose will play host to Columbia Prep on Friday, September 26.
