Friday evening on the Baker
field a championship football
game for the county was played
between the Toledo High School
team and the Newport High
School team. Tue day was fine
and the ground in fair condition.
The attendance was large and
enthusiastic. Sixty persons
came from Toledo on the
Truant; Newpor; furnished
about twice that number.
Among the Toledo visitors we
noted G. K. Hawkins, l. r. Wish
art and o. r. Hollingsworth and
wife, The Newport team was
on its nerve and cid superior
playing. The first touchdown
was made in five minutes after
the game commenced. A spec
tacular kick was made through
the goal by Mark JaImine. A
touchdown was made by Lind
ten. Bud Mcdonald is a swift
runner, very close to Carson. A
skirmish occurred between Car
son and Simpson over a tussel
for the ball, and under the ex-
citement Carson slapped Simp-
son on the face Tlaking his ears
ring. A bystapder seeing this
ran in and slapped Carson in
about the same way, stating at
the same time such dirty play
ing should not be permitted.
This closed the incident and
everything went along as though
nothing had happened. Foot
ball is good game to teach self
control and everyone should
play clean and slugging or
rough conduct should be ia
booed.
Saturday morning the New
port High School team, consist
ing of twelve members, and
teachers, Miss Booth and Prof.
Colman, went to Eugene to wit
ness the great game between
the O.A.C. and u. of o. The
high school team of Newport
was accompanied by Mrs. Capt.
Stuart and Referee Dougherty
and a number of citizens. It
was a very stormy day and the
field was in bad condition. A
great crowd was present. Eu-
gene was out en- masse. Every
seat in the grandstand was ia
ken and a number of people had
to sit or stand in the rain while
the game was being played. At
least 5000 people were present.
The O.A.C. team came within a
few seconds Of making a score
when time was called The
muddy field and rainy day was
against them. The moral
seemed to be with the Eugene
team. The O.A.C. went in with
cold feet. Coach Stewart felt
that fate was against him.
General Grant had this same
feeling when going into battle.
He always wanted the'moral, the
confidence to be on his side.
The Newport high school team
got some good points by seeing
the game played.
The Newport waterfront pre-
sents a very lively appearance
at the present time. The Ban
don, with 100000 feet Of lumber
aboard is lying at the city docks
the Patsy is discharging freight
at the Macdonald docks, and
the Gerald c. and Tillamook are
also'here. The Tillamook came
in for shelter while on her way
to Marshfield. The Fifield came
in Sunday morning on high tide
and went up to Toledo to get
her cargo of lumber.
The storm has continued foi
about three weeks and looks
like 1t would stop very soon
the bar has been exceedingl,
rough. Capt. Schillinski OF The
Bandon is getting anxious te
get out.
