Rainier's loss the same evening
to St. Helens l.ft the Vernonia
team sole own-r of second place
in the Lower Columbia league for
this we k at l-ast. This Friday's
game when the Loggers and Co
lumbians
tangle
will decide
whether Rainier again i.-turns to
s cond place for th? season.
The Lions' victory last Friday
over Raimer was a one-sided af
fair with th? Saints almost max
ing a clean sweep for the even
ing with th ir 40 to 7 victory.
In the Clatskanie-Seaside fray
Friday the Tigors handed the
Gulls a 28 to 12 defeat and Scap
poose, playing a no»»- league tilt
with Park Rose, lost 31 to 0.
The remainder of first and se
cond quarter play was slow as
neither team could dent the
other’s defenses. In second quar
ter play the Loggers had two
golden opportunities to scor •, one
on a recovered Warrior fumble
on their 23 by alert end Ken Nan-
son, which in turn the Loggers
fumbled with the Warriors re
covering. Late in second period
play the Warrenton eleven gam
bled on a fourth down try with
two yards to go and failed to
make it with the locals taking
over on the Warriors 35. Once
again the locals hit bad luck and
fumbled with the visitors recover-
ing on their own 26. Second half
play ended with Vernonia on the
Warrenton squad's 40.
In second half play. Logger
place kicker Bill Higley put the
ball in the end zone after a 15-
yard
unsportsmanlike
penalty
with the Warriors taking over on
their own 20. In an exchange of
kicks the Loggers had fourth
down on their 25 and elected to |
kick. A roughing the-kicker pen- >
alty set up the Logger's second !
TD as they received a first down. I

PENALTY HELPS
On the first play from scrim-
mage »>n his own 40. Braun raced
down to the visitors’ 10-yard stripe
with a first and ten. On the next
play Fred Drips found a nice
opening at center and went into
the end zone for the locals' second
score. The try for point was
good with Lusby circling right
end. making th? score 13-0.
Fourth quarter play was an
tven affair with both teams mak-
ing minor thrusts into the oppon-
ents' territory but being unable
to dent the defens? for the final
counters.
Midway through th?
quarter the Loggers were penal
ized back to their 1-yard stripe
for illegal use of th hands. Nan-
son then got off a beauty of a
kick for 80 yards with a 70 yard
net gain to get the Loggers off
the hook.
At game's end. th? Loggr rs
walked off the field the victors
and still maintained their grip on
second place in leagu? play.
