Loggers Drop from Win Column Friday 43 to 63 Logger netmen fell from the victory column at the hands of Clatskanie th:re Friday night to the score of 43-63 after scoring wins over their three previous opponents Highlights of the first quarter netted scores for Vernonia when CTowston tallkd after driving down floor and again with Gill scoring on a pass play from Crowston and Fulton. That same combination also brought a tally in the second quarter along with a iong shot by Nanson. At the end of the half not much dfference in points separated the two teams and part of that lack of margin could be attributed to Gill’s work under the basket and the attempted shots he took off the backboard. Halftime count was 21-16. Second half play behind the high-point scoring of MacDonald and Fulton wasn't sufficient to offset the host team's floor work. Fulton accounted for two unas sisted trys that tallied and a blocked Tiger play resulted in another score by Nanson.
