Loggers Apparently
Forget Fundametals,
Plays; Lose 40 6
rr.day evening of last week
th' Vernonia Loggers pull?d into
th coast town of Seaside confi
dent of a come-bark after the
previous week's tromping at th”
hands of the St. Helens Lions,
only to be flattened by a group
■of pepped up Seagulls by th?
score of 40-6.
Any resemblence between the
loca eleven and a football tear.?
was purely coincidental in the
first half, as the Loggers made
every mistake possible and then
aa'ded some to make their effort
of playing the game commonly
known as fotball a complete flop.
Ev.d-ntally the local eleven for
got all their fundamentals along
with their plays, resembling a
bunch of grade school kids play-
ing a game of touch tackle for the
first time.
The only bright spot occurring
in the local’s favor came at the
start of the third quarter when
th* Loggers were holding the
short end of the score 20-0. Sea
side was held to three downs
after th? opening kickoff and
forced to kick to their own 45.
The Loggers then proceeded to
dr.ve the ball downfield tp the
Gu
2-yard stripe'where Frank
piu.-.ged over for the TD. The Io
cs ; then held the Gulls and once
ara ? forced them to kick, only
to fumble with Seaside recover-
ini deep in Vernonia territory.
F.-m that point on. the d moral-
izf d Logger eleven forgot foot
ball and the Seaside touchdown
parade started.
The Loggers will take the field
Friday to play their third Lower
Columbia League game of th?
seusen when the Clatskanie Tigers
travel here. Vernonia will go
in*, this encounter with a big
question mark on th?ir shoulders.
Th question is whether they can
remember the game of football

Stolen Car
Wrecked Here
A car failed to negotiate the
tit“* at Bridge St. and Rose Av-
eMM Saturday morning and went
into the ditch just north of Stur-
de zant’s garage, tearing out a
section of the walkway bridge
be'onging to Roger Whaite.
The two boys who were in the
car were able to get out and
leave the scene of the accident
but were later apprehended and
arrested by the state police on a
stolen car charge. The youths,
both from Kelso, reportedly stole
the car in Kelso.
They are being held in the coun
ty ail pending investigation by
the federal bureau of investiga
tion.
Sccre Board Is Installed
A new score board has been
installed at the high school foot
bail field and will be in use for
the first time Friday night for
the game between Clatskanie and
Vernonia.
