The basket ball teams Of the
Waldport high school came up
Friday evening 10 play the boys
and girls Of the Newport high
school. These young ladies
and gentlemen showed the spirit
Of true sports. Friday was a
real stormy day but this did not
dampen the spirits. or ardor Of
these young people. Mrs. Fen
ton Starr was chaperon for the
girls and Prof. Doan, principal
Of the Waldport high school, had
charge of the boys. They
came up in open wagons in the
rain and storm but being full of
the spirit Of the game, never felt
the storm and the Doty line
never fails. They were re-
ceived at the boat landing by
representatives of the Newport
team and conducted to the Alb
bey, where a warm supper was
awaiting them and a kind recep-
ton given to all the members Of
the visiting teams. The game
was the most interesting and
spirited ever played in Newport.
The girls played first. The
score stood 13 to 5 in favor of
Newport. After the girls game
ended the boys took the floor.
At the conclusion of a hotly con-
tested game the score stood 27
to 15 in favor Of the Newport
team. Edward Starr of Wald-
port was referee and Prof. Glenn
OF Newport was umpire. A
dance was given at the Elk Hall
In honor of the visiting teams.
A good crowd was in attendance
and good music furnished and
a splendid time was had by all
present. On Saturday morning
the Waldport teams started
home in one of the greatest rain
and wind storms that ever Wis
1ted this coast. The wind was
blowing at the rate of 20 miles
an hour and the rain was falling
In torrents. The young people
crossed the bay in the Mud Hen.
The waves in the bay rolling and
breaking at least six feet high.
The spray covered the boat. 1t
seemed to be hazardous, but no
one appeared to be the least
alarmed. If anything, the girls
showed better grit than the BOYS.
The Newport teams will piay

also be a hotly contested game
as Waldport will play to get
even and win the championship
OF the county.
