The “Riverites” came out on the long end of the score, 39-34 in an exciting game which kept the fans on edge of their seats during the last min utes of j>lay. Bob “Fire” Ball had a little water thrown on his blaze by Tapp who did an excellent job of check ing him considering the shape Tapp was in. He had been sick the week previous and was not up to par, but even with this hand icap, he had Ball sewed up many times to where he couldn’t do a thing. The field goal average of both teams was almost equal. There was only about a one per cent difference between the two. Ball didn’t make too good a shewing along this line, considering his ablity. He made six out of 29 r For Pasteurized MILK CREAM and BUTTERMILK jigbt from the farm to your door, write or cal!

John Gumm must have had a very weak team because Paul Gor- don, Vernonia coach, said Crow- ston and Mills only played about one minute in the last quarter. Crowston was also out a good share of the third period. Gordon Crowston, the tall guard on the Washington squad, chalked up 20 of the 30 points. Quarter scores were: Vernonia 8 16 26 30 John Gumm 4 4 4 5 SAINTS DUE HERE The Vernonia Loggers will play their next home game Tuesday evening of next week, January 20, when they meet the St. Helens Lions. The Loggers go to Scap poose Friday evening of this week, January 16, to meet the Indians. field goals and a total of 16 points while Benson, also of Rainier, hurt the Loggers by scoring four out of seven. Cline tallied six out of 21 and a total 17 points. Nineteen fouls were called on each team. Fouls called on Ver nonia proved to be more disaster- ous than Rainier’s. Vernonia had a better foul shot average than the Columbians, making 10 out of 18 while Rainier made only 13 out of 23.

The Loggers were way out front all the way but Parkrose started to close the gap near the close of the game. Vernonia had quite a bit of bad luck when the ball would enter the hoop and then come out again. Parkrose looked a little weak both on offense and defense. Bill Sword, Logger guard, would be a greater asset to the Vernonia squad if he would shoot more. As a rule, he seems to be a “dead eye” and usually nets the ball when he shoots, but many times passes when in a good shooting position. • FRIDAY'S RESULTS Rainier 39 Vernonia 34 Scappoose 43 Parkrose 39 Seaside 42 St. Helens 33 SATURDAY’S RESULTS Rainier 62 Parkrose 35 (Ball 21) Tires OPEN 7.30 A.M.

BRING YOUR JUNK BATTERIES HERE Phone 773 Some of the local fans have brought to our attention several times that the Vemonia-Rainier game last Friday night should have come out in favor of the Loggers, We can’t help feeling that way too, but those things do happen. It seems like the last few times the Loggers have met Rain ier, they have been jinxed in some way or another, Vernonia did very well during this game, in fact better than a lot of people thought they would. They had two big handicaps and they were that Jack Frank played only a very little of the game because of a bad cold and Alvin Tapp wasn’t feeling too well, being sick all that week. If these hindrances could have been overcome and if Cline hadn’t been sent to the showers a little early because of over-fouling, Vernonia very pro bably would have downed the Rain ier quintet. The game was an up-hill grind for the Loggers all the way. Four baskets were recalled from the Loggers by the officials, and which to the majority looked as if they should have counted, but the ref erees said the man was fouled be fore the ball left his hands, there fore was not in the act of shoot ing and only or.e foul shot was per mitted. The Vernonia rooters, as a rule, are pretty good about booing but they did let loose Fri day night and let the officials know what they thought of the way they were calling things. Most of it perhaps was justified. Riverview TUESDAY’S RESULTS Vernonia 47 Parkrose 38 (Note: the following scores are not league results.)
