Loggers Trim Opponents by 38-6 Decision Seaside Trampled Friday; Clatskanie Next on Schedule The Vernonia Loggers turned bird pickers last Friday evening as they plucked the hapless Gulls clean and trimmed th?m. to the tune of 38-6, befor? a big crowd on the local fi'-lci. The visiting Seaside squad hi Id the local team in cheek through out the first quarter and even penetrated to the Loggers’ 25 where the locals held. The start of the s.cond quarter "went bang” as far as the locals wer? concern ed as Braun, on the first play from scrimmage, scampered from his own 25 to th? Gulls’ 35 for a 40- yard jaunt. From that point on th? turf, with the ball toting of Braun. Lusby. Full.r and Drips, the locals rang up number one on their scoring parade with the tallying honors going to Braun, w ho skirted the end from 12 yards out. The try for point was no good making the score 6-0. FUM3LE SETS UP COUNTER The L<iggsrs then kicked off, Seasid * fumbled and it was re covered by the local lads on the 48. From that point the Loggers drove to the 39 in two plays which w.r? follow'd by a 39-vard run by Speed Lusby on the third down for the locals' second tally. The try for extra counter failed once again as Bass’s kick went wide. In the closing minutes of the half, Vernonia’s center. Hank Bass, intercepted a Seaside pass on th? Gull’s 32. Braun, on the s corid play from scrimmage, dash d from his own 25 to the opponents’ 3. On the next play Lusby pushed over fiom that point. The try for point was good with Bass kicking and Braun holding. Halftime score was 19-0 in favor of the locals. STEADY DRIVE SCORES Vernonia started hard again in the third quarter when they re- ceived the kickoff on their own 30 and returned the ball to their 45 with Nanson doing th” toting. After a steady drive downfield. th? locals scored their fourth TD with Drips going over from th? six. The try for point was good and Vernonia was ahead 26-0. After the locals first TD in the third quarter. Coach Vlc?k's regu lars went to the bt nch for a well- earned rest and the res-rves took over. Midway in fourth quarter play, the locals drove th? Gulls down to their 1 after a holding penalty which took place on the five. The Gulls elected to kick. It was blocked by a hard-charging Logg.r line and caught in midair by Hank Bass who scampered five yards for the TD. Th” try for point failed PASS COMPLETED With four minut?s remaining, the locals once again scored with a pass from Bobby Crowston to Nanson accounting for the count ?r. Again th? try for extra point failed. The scrappy S”aside elev?n. still fighting, seemed to find them- selves in th? waning minutes of the game and scored from two yards out on a line plung after a combinati n running and passing attack from their own 25. The try for point was no good making the final score 38-6 with the gam 's end. Vernonia will journey to Clats kanie Friday night to tak? on that squad in their third Low”r Colum bia league encounter. Th local squad will be a slight favorite in this tilt, but Clatskanie on the other hand is a dang.rous oppon ent, especially wh n playing the underdog role. Game time will be 8.00.
