win by downing the Clatskanie
The factor in naming Vernonia
as winner in the Lower Columbia
league play over the Scappoose
Indians last Friday night on the
local floor was the fact that the
Loggers made good more free
throws than did the Tribe from
Scappoose. 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.

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.
