year to certify people. In the
meantime, Judge Seawright asked
persons already certified for the
food who need a means of getting

Action Slated
For Gridiron
September 9
The Vernonia high football team
started its second week of daily
doubles with many aches and
pains but no serious injuries. The
boys have shown a lot of spirit and
fire this far, according to John
Crowston, coach.
Crowston summed it up this
way: “We are still concentrating
on blocking and tackling. Most of
the boys are physically ready to
take the punishment but a few
have to mentally condition them­
selves to really rap someone when
blocking and tackling.
“We could have a real good line
and backfield with average speed
but a lot of desire. With good
blocking and more short passes our
offense should improve over last
year.”
These boys are out for the fol­
lowing positions:
Ends: Keith Cameron, P e t e
Brunsman, A1 Brunsman, Gary
Davis, Chris Smith, Tim Conroy,
Curtis Hickman, Dan Burton, and
Jack Bartlett;
Tackles: Larry Holsey, Curtis
Poetter, Mike Fetherston, Wayne
Cameron, Rod Aldrich, Myron Den­
nis, Steve Hemeon, Mike Busch,
and Rick Schwab;
Guards: Ed Burton, Karl Koch,
Paul Goodman, Steve Myer, and
Jeff Krieger;
Centers: La Vern Von Heeder
and Dave Fisher;
Backs: Larry Elton, Matt Koch,
Ken Vealey, Les Forcier, Gary
Hanson, Randy Nightwine, Paul
Nelson, Don King, and Fay Rus
sell.
In conclusion, Crowston said:
“We have changed a few things
this year and hope we can muster
more offense and scoring punch.
“We will be oressed for time
this year due to the early game
and the Labor Day holiday week
end. However, barring injury we
can have a real fine year and can
give anyone in the league a real
battle.
“Our first game will be at home
September 9 with Rainier who
should be a too team in the league
this fall.”
