Individual communi ties, however, will emphasize the appeal of Secretary of thy Trea sury Snyder to use bonds to pro mote systematic thrift among individuals to provide themselves against reverses as well as im prove their way of life at a later date. Archery Club Tourney at Mist Draws 175 Bowmen George Revis, president of the Pope-Young Field Archers, was well pleased with the turn-out for the 16th annual tournament held this year at the club range of the Nehalem Archery club near Mist. This year the tourney, which is always held on Labor Day week end, proved to attract the largest number or archers in the organization’s history. One hundred twenty-seven archers competed in the two-day meet with approximately 175 reg istering for the annual barbecue which was ably prepared this year by Art and Betty Dorio of Mist. Mr Reavis, who is also the president of the Nehalem Arch ery club, prepared the range for this popular event and all those who helped are to be commend“d for their part in making the ! tournament the huge success that it was. Place position rather than ag gregate score is the basis on which the championship rests. For example: if a contestant placed 2 in the clout shoot, 4 in the wand, and 1 in the Pope- Young animal round his score would be 7; if a second contestant place 3 in the clout, 1 in the wand and 6 in the Pope-Young round his score would be 10. The first, or lower number would be the winner. Residents of the Nehalem val ley who would like to join the Nehalem archers may do so by contacting Darrel Rose at Bush Furniture or Mr. Reavis at 6036 N. E 32nd, Portland. Members are privileged to use the nation ally approved field range at Mist at any time. £ By MELVIN SCHWAB On Monday, September 10, Coach Lee Pangle counted 36 future enthusiastic gridiron tus- slers out for pigskin practice, beginning the third week of the 1951 season. This number falls short of the record turn-out of 50 men who were on the roster last year. Of the 36 turning out, 11 are returning lettermen with five being first string members last yc4*. Positions left vacant by graduating seniors are being filled by sophomores and juniozs on the most part. Spirit runs high with competition very keen with the freshmen fighting just as hard as the seniors for those conveted positions. Gordon Crowston, three-year letterman, will be carrying the brunt of the Logger defense and offense this year. Crowston, was one of the outstanding players in the county last year, particu larly in defensive play, and will be one of Coach Pangle’s main bulwarks qf defense. The Loggers settled down to tackling, blocking, perfection of plays and mainly getting into shape for the first game this Fri day night against the Forest Grove Vikings. Forest Grove, «ho was considered a pushover last year by practically every team, is reputed to have a good team this year and will definitely r.ot be the easy mark they were during 1950. The Vikings will use the single wing back forma tion while the locals will use the swing T formation. According to Coach Pangle the Loggers will lack experience, es pecially in the line, but have lots of spirit and drive and should provide their opponents with a scrappy game. The freshmen class has contributed consider ably in number, size and spirit to the squad. Vernonia’s starting line-up, which sports two 200-pounders and a team average of 170-pounds to the man for Friday night is: Pos. Player Wt. LE 150 Bob Powell 200 LT Ozzie Ray LG .... Donnie Wantland 175 160 C..... Jim Smejkal RG 180 Donnie Morgan RT Bill Lydie 200 RE Deri Borders 155 QB Rick Fulton 160 RH Gordon Crowston 170 LH Loren Mills, 160 FB Lee Faulk 183 • Women's League Started Monday League play for the women’s bowling association began Mon day evening and the night’s pin activity ended with three teams holding top standings. They were Betty’s, Vernonia Drug and the O-A office, all with four points. »Betty’s cafe also won the team high series with 1811. Team high game went to the O-A with 620.
