were so evenly matched that the contest
would be close and the game won by a
narrow margin. After few minutes OF
play the effect Of the wind began to tell
and Newellton, fighting stubbornly all
the while, saw their opponents draw
away and pile up big lead. ,Rallying
they closed up the gap in part out at the
end of the first half the score stood: Wa
terproof IL, Newellton z.
In the second half, Waterproof now
playing against the wind, could not hold
back their opponents and Newellton slow
ly crept up until only two points sepa-
rated them from Waterproof. But it
seemed impossible to get these. Many
times was the ball worked to Newellton's
goal, only to be sent back without hav-
ing passed through the basket. But with
only half minute OF play left, Newell
ton, by series of brilliant passes and
long shot, tied the score. The half end
ed: Waterproof II, Newellton IL.
After few minutes rest the game con-
tinued according to rule without change
of goal. The excitement on the outside
lines was intense. Though lasting only
few minutes the play was fast and fu-
rious. Twice Waterproof shot for goal,
but the ball only rolled around on the
edge Of the basket and fell into the hands
of the Newellton guards. Twice Newell
ton shot, and the ball hung on the edge
Of the basket for an age, then dropped
on the outside. In the scrimmage that
followed Inez Gordon OF Newellton Sc
cured the ball and by long and dex-
trous throw sent hurting through the
basket and the game was over. No ons
knows exactly what followed. Final
score: .Newellton IA, Waterproof u.
Boys Tennis.
