Both teams had al most an equal amount of field goals, Vernonia 18 and Scappoose 17. The thing that gave the Log gers such a margin though was the fact that they pocketed 12 out of 27 free throws, which in itself isn’t too good an average, but Scappoose only made 8 out or 19, which was worse. Vernonia won this fray 48-37. This was a fast and exciting game that got a little rough at times. Forty fouls were called by the officials, 17 against Vernonia and 23 against Scappoose. Sylvested “Ted” Williams was high for Vernonia with 16 and Engstrom tallied 11 for the Indians followed closely by Lange with 10. Quarter scores, all in favor of Vernonia were: 11-6, 23-14, 36-23 and 48-37. Lineups: VERNONIA 48 37 SCAPPOOSE Williams 16 J. Baker Sword 7 10 Lange Cline 11 11 Engstrom Tapp 5 2 Eaton Frank 7 6 R.

Suadland Electric & Appliance 786 Bridge Street Vernonia To my way of thinking, a team should not only be judged upon its ability, but also on its sportsman ship. Their was a great man that once said, “If I can’t win fairly. I’ll choose to lose.” That should be the motto, not only of each person, but also of every ball club from the sand lot teams up to the pros. Good sportsmanship has, for several years, been the standard of Vernonia high school’s teams and it is something that we hope will be continued. Sure, they have stepped out of place at times, but who hasn’t? As a rule though, Vernonia has played clean ball which is a great asset to any squad. Take this year for example. Not once have I noticed a Logger deliberately use dirty tactics. An official, after the Clats kanie game last Saturday said to Coach Htrgert that the Vernonia boys were the cleanest players that he remembers playing on the Tiger floor. He also said that even though they were hard fighters, they played clean ball. Even if a team wins all their games by playing dirty ball, it is really far better to come in last playing clean ball. ASTORIA VET TEAM WINS A six point margin of win at the final gun gave the district 4 V.F.W. basketball championship to Astoria when the playoff was carried out here last Thursday evening. Astoria overcame a five- point lead which Vernonia held six minutes before the end and because of that will represent this district in the state tourney scheduled to be held here February 29. High point man for Vernonia was Bauersfeld with 18 and for Astoria, Rietonen tallied 20. The story might have been dif ferent last Thursday had the local vets been fortunate in having a longer list of substitutes. As it was, most of the starting lineup played the full game.

LOGGERS WIN OVER TIGERS The Vernonia Loggers, playing a Saturday night game in Clats kanie, added another victory to their list.
