The second quarter opened up much the same as the first, with both teams scoring little, but run ning much. Finally, with about three minutes left in the half, the home team opened up and really started hitting. Marv Crowston made 8 points during the quarter, giving the Vernonia team a lead that was never again seriously threatened. Intermission time found the Loggers ahead by an impressive 21 to 9. Second half action opened up with the Hood River boys putting on more steam but still unable to close the gap between the two teams. The Loggers scored 16 points to the Dragons’ 15. The half continued with the Dragons gaining slightly on the Vernonia boys but they were still unable to come close to the substantial margin set by the Loggers during the first half. Final score of the tilt was 43 to 32 to give the Log gers their fourth straight win. The Vernonia Loggers are do ing very well according to the state A-2 ratings in the news papers.
