Bowling Results Boost the Logger»—Be There FOOTBALL VERNONIA Vs RAINIER Foot Jo all- 15 Years Ago SPORT TOPICS MELVIN SCHWAB Sports Editor STATE DIVIDED INTO EIGHT DISTRICTS FOR CHAMP PLAY Possibility of a Columbia coun ty team participating in the state high school football champion ships this year was given a boost recently when plans for the 1947 event were received from the Oregon High School Activities as sociation. According to Thomas A. Pigott, secretary-treasurer of the asso ciation, the state has been divided into eight districts this year in stead of four as in jjast years which means that eight teams will enter competition for the state title, necessitating a quarter final round of games in addition to the semi-final and final games. Vernonia high school has been assigned to district No. 7, known as the northwestern district. The other nine teams in the district are Scappoose, Rainier, Astoria, Seaside, Parkrose, Hill Military Academy, Columbia Prep, Central Catholic and St. Helens. A’ decision on which one of these 10 teams will compete in the state tourney will be made on Wednesday, November 12, when representatives from each school will meet at Scappoose, At this meeting each school will be allowed one vote and the team receiving the most votes will enter the state competition. A number of teams in this dis trict have played several games against other district elevens this year but it is apparently the feel ing of most officials that even more games should be carded for a real comparison of the strength of the various teams. Several of the 10 teams have been virtually eliminated already from title consideration and the undefeated St. Helens Lions ap pear to be the favorite at present however, a St. Helens loss to Scappoose could alter the picture considerably. Winner of the toui*ney bid in this district will meet the winner of District No. 8, which is com prised of the Portland public schools, in the quarter final round.

One player who will be out for the rest of the season is Kay Mil ler, first string guard, who was hurt in the Hill Military game. Miller is suffering from a slight concussion and on doctor orders will not be allowed to engage in more bodily contact sports. Alvin Tapp, another first string guard and alternate fullback, has scored twice this season to be in second place as the scoring goes.
