The St. Helens Lions, last y?ar’i Lower Columbia League cham pions and second place winners m the state A-2 playoffs, put their bid in for th? position again last Friday evening when they began their gridiron leagui? play bv downing the Vernonia eleven 21 7. 1 in a game which was rated as a I tossup by the’armchair quarter- ' backs. Vernonia won the toss to stai: this annual civil war classic and elected to receive. Drips picked up the kick and return, d it t the 27 from his own 20. On the third try the Loggers elected t pass, which was intercepted on their 26 and carried back to th? 18 by the Lions. A 15-yard penalty against the locals put the ball on th' 3 with a first and ten for tiie Lions. On the third try St. Helens I drove the ball ov. r for a TD.

PHONE 191 Date Set lor Teacher Party SCORE YET TO COME PICTURED ABOVE is Logger fullback Fred Drips, one of Coach Vlcek’s main cogs in his running attack. Drips, along with several other members of the Logger team, were recent victims of a res piratory infection which hindered them all of last week. For the most part they should be in pretty fair condition for this Friday night's game with the Seaside Seagulls on the local high school field. Coach Vlcek isn’t looking for an easy game and will have his Loggers doing their best to get on top of the heap again. Sea side dropped a close decision to Rainier 18 13 last Friday night and according to rrpnrts have improved very much since the jamboree. The Gulls will also be looking for revenge for last year's defeat by the Loggers by the narrow margin of 6-7 at Seaside, so this should prove a hard fought match for the local ironmen. Game time is 8:00 p.m. Council Considers New Tank for Pumpiug Plant Plans and probable costs for the construction of a new sattle- ing tank at the city wat:r pump ing plant as presented Monday by S. A. Ross, city engineer, occu pied the attention of councilm ‘n for the major portion of their meeting. The tank replacement problem is one that has been facing the city for some time because th? tank now being used is construc ted of wood and has deteriorated to a point wher ■ a new unit must be installed. Ross presented several plans for a new tank along with probable costs for council consideration. Least expensive of th? proposals was listed for an approximate cost of $21.000 and would provide a double steel tank. This plan, Ross indicated, was also the most satisfactory for use with the pimping system. Councilmen made no definite decision Mon day. but will consider the plans again when they meet on th? first Monday in October.
