Friday night proved to be as the armchair experts predicted when the St. Helens Lions invad ed the local turf and downed a tired, but game Vernonia elev en by the resounding score of 33-6. The Loggers played heads up i ball but couldn’t qujte cope with the depth of the St. Helens Lions. Lack of reserves could be given as the main reason for the de- leat of Coach Vlcek’s gridders. The Loggers received their counter in the socond period of play after holding the much heavier Lions to a standstill in first quarter play. Vernonia's TD was set up when the Log gers recovered a Lion fumble on the St. Helens 35-yard stripe. A fourth down pass from Shaw to Crowston completely fooled the St. Helens’ secondary and was good for the TD. Try for point failed.
