parents and friends to root for Milne. ( )ur g\'mnasium should be
packed for each game, and it is uj) to \'ou. as students of Milne, to see
that it is packed. X o team can play good basketball with only a handful of rooters at a game because such a condition shows clearly that the
school is not behind them. It disheartens tliem before the ojiening
whistle. l)Ul when they come upon the floor and see the l)leachers
packed and the standing room filled u\) with eager, cheering schoolmates. they know that the school is with them and light their hardest to
win. Remember that }'ou, by your attendance and cheering, are responsible for instilling the old lighting spirit into vour team.
After every game there will be dancing in the gym. Milnites wil!
be admitted to games and dancing l)y showing their student-tax tickets
at the door. The price of a(lmissi(.)n for parents or friends will l)e ver^•
small.
Don't forget the bus-rides this year. W'e i)lay several im]X)rtani

Coach lUiker lias turned the junior I lij^h basketball team over to
William Sharpe, one of Milne's res^ulars. for coachin,^-. I'ill is makin;^
\v(jnderful proj^ress \vith the team and has named the following" i)layers (jn his squad: Redmond, Stut/, Worrell. Noakes. lUatner, Wa"kins, Ge]ifert. Ga,q-e, Lewis. Cuckof), Mall, .Snowden and Dains.
C O M M E N T S ON OUR FIRST
GAME
In defeatini;- Mount L i)ton. 30-9. Milne opened up with a fastpassini^- attack that swept the visitors off their feet and resulted in our
lirst basket by Sharpe Ijefore the t^ame was many minutes old. All th •
regulars played until the final cjuarter when, after they had ])iled up a
big- score, the entire second team went in and held Mount LIpton on
even ternis. l^'very member of the team played good basketball. Captain Wirshing was high scorer with 16 points. After the g'ame Coa«.h
P.aker said that it was one of the best he ever saw a Milne team plav.

"Did you hear about the fellow who smoked one of these and be

"No-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!" was the incredulous reply.
'AVell, it's a fact. They say he got one out of the second carload."
