FIRST LEAGUE
GAME WON BY
RAINIER. 39-34
Vernonia’s first Lower Colum
bia League game was played here
last Friday night against the Rain
ier Columbians. 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

GRADERS WIN
LAST FRIDAY
The Washington grade school
quintet scored a victory in their
first conference game last Friday
afternoon against the John Gumm
team of St. Helens, 30-5.
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

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.

From the sidelines it looks as
though the Loggers should have
chalked up a higher score than
they did in the Vemonia-Parkrose
game last Tuesday. 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. •

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.
