Football The High School football team started practice at an early date with prospects of a gcod team, as but two lettermen from the 1925 squad were not wit'i the team this year. The letter- men about whom the squad was built were: White, Culbertson, Adolph and Arnie Sundlaerg, Eilertson, Zimxnerdahl, Johnson, H. Bunce and Fluhrer. The first game Lf the season was on October End with Cath- lamet on the local gridiron. It was not a county game but it served as much needed practice and showed the power of the C. H. S. football men. The Tigers rcmped away with the game 33 to 0. The first ccuhty game was that with Scappc ose on the Scap- poose field. The Scappoose men were not strong enough for the Tigers and at half time they found themselves on the short end of a 20 to 0 score. Most of the last half was played with only one regular on the line. The game ended 23 to 0 in the Tigers' favor. The next game on the 'Tigers' schedule was that with Sea- side, here. The game had no bearing on the county standings

On October 30th, Clatskanie played St. Helens, there. The Clatskanie men outweighed the St. Helens men but the game was made interesting by the deceptive aerial attack of the St. Helens team. By superior line play Clatskan-ie was able to score on touchdown. White made a field goal and the game ended 10 to 0 for Clatskanie. Previous to the Vernonia game Clatskanie had won four games and at no time had an cpposing team crossed the Clats- kanie goal, nor had any of them offered stiff opposition for the Tigers. The Vernonia team was worthy of higher respect as it was a pewerful team, which was making a strong bid for county honors. The game was a fight from start to iinish. The Tigers threatened to score twice in the first quarter but were held each time on the one yard line. In the second quarter Eilertson made a touchdown around end from the 20 yard line. A pass, White to Sundberg accounted for another touch- down in the third quarter. Score Clatskanie 133 Vernonia 0. The Rainier game on the local gridiron on Armistice Day was the last and most important county game of the season. From the first plays it could be seen that it would be a battle royal. The teams played on about even terms the first quarter, which ended scoreless. In the second quarter Rainier vc'rf-fl a touchdown on a 90 yard run follr wed bv a safety. Clatskanie also scored a touchdown. The half ended 9 to 6 in favor of Rainier. Clatskanie's defense seemed to crumble in the last two quarters. Rainier scored at touchdown in each quarter, making the score at the end of the game 23 to 6. The last game of the season was with Astoria on the enem.y's field. Astoria got a lucky break at the start of the game and scored their only touchdown of the game. The Tiger defense tightened and by stubborn defensive play was able to hold them scoreless except in the last quarter when Astoria made a place kick from the 15 yard line. The score, Astoria 9: Clatskanie, 0. During the season several men came into prominence. The first of these, in the mind of the spectators, is quarterback White. White is a consistent player, having given his best at all times. Besides being the master mind of the squad he was a strong defensive man. Arnie Sundberg, right half was a fast player upon whom the team depended to make the end runs. Adolph Sundberg who played the other half was fast and also very important in offensive play. Zimmerdahl who started the season at left end but played half in the last few games, showed his ability in the backfield.
