Rainier won the toss and elec ted to receive, starting this an nual gridiron classic between the two squads. Almost immediate ly the locals scored when Shaw intercepted a Rainier pass on the Columbian 40 and ran it back to tiie 30-yard stripe. From that point the Loggers drove to the eight-yard marker from which point Bush powered his way over for the TD. Try for extra point failed. Once again Vernonia tallied in the first stanza of play when the Columbians were forced to punt after failing to make a first down to the Logger 15. On th? first play from scrimmage the Log gers performed a reverse with such perfection that Crowston rambled 70-vards to the oppon ents' 15. only to have the play called back because the referee had blown the play dead when he supposed the ball carried to be one of the other Vernonia backs making the reverse. Not to bs discourag 'd, the Vernonia eleven then sprang Holsey loose who rambled 80-yards for a TD Try for point was good making the score 13-0 at quarter end. In second quarter play Ver noma once again opened the wav for Bobby Crowston to travel 80- yards for a TD, but had the play called back because he supposed ly stepped out-of-bounds. Re mainder of play saw both teams starting minor drives only to have them stopped by intercept~d pas SeS. “ «rr-i.ii—- i^,. Second half play revealed the locals offense clicking once again The Loggers first TD in this period occurred when Shaw went over from six yards out. Try for point was good. Once again in third quarter play the locals hit paydirt when Crowston intercep ted a Columbian pass on their 40 and tight walked the sidelines all the way for the TD. Try for I point was good, making th? score | 27-0. The end of third quarter play revealed the Rainier team on the locals’ 1-yard stripe, only to have their drive stopped by a deter mined Logger line with the help of a five-yard offsides penalty. The remainder of the gam? was a see-saw affair with the reserves taking over. Friday evening the locals wil; entertain the roaring Lions of St. Helens who have a perfect season to date. The Lions will go into this tilt highly favored to win, but the Loggers are looking for ward to this contest for the first tim? in years which might spell upset for the St. Helens eleven. The. only serious damage from last week's game was the reccur- rance of an injury to Dick John son who will probably not see action for this week’s contest. Other than that, the Loggers will be at top strength for this annual big game ■-------------------------------------------------- -- 4-H Leaders To Meet Mon.
