Only four of the 11 letter- men were out for practice how ever, due to those working in the crops or at the mill during the summer vacation. With the com ing of school the number should be doubled as has been the case in past years. Hot, sticky weather made ft none too pleasant for those turn ing put with the result that those not in fair condition already were in difficulty. The team is trying to get into condition with much, emphasis being placed on the fundamentals of blocking. The Loggers thiy year will be a light fast team with the back- field probably weighing about the same as the line. The line will weigh in at about 165 pounds per man. According to pre-sea son reports, that will make the locals one of the lightest teams in the county. Meantime, the St. Helens turn out dwarfed the Loggers turnout with 30 future pigskin tusslers on hand. Head Coach Dick Miller estimated that he will have about 50 to 55 men to choose from with the starting of school. To date conditioning drills, form blocking and tackling, and work on fundamentals have been help ing that squad to get into shape. Coach Lee Pangle also called attention to the fact that season tickets are now available whict* will enable the football and basketball fan to see $8.00 worth of games for the half price of only $4.00. Tickets may be ob tained from any one of these high school students: Edna Ful ler, Alice Davis, Leona Hoehn er, Donna Aldrich, Beverly Closner at Mist, and Mary Falconer at Treharne.
