ATTENTION, PLE..SE
There is nothing to which an appre-
cii.tive Gudience responds more quickly
than a clean, hird-fought basketball
gcme.e ind the crowd that filled the
bleachers Friduy night gave proof of
that fact. Good plays by both teums
were cheered impartially. and the cheers
were good loud yells, too! The singing
between halves gave more evidence of the
spectators" spirit.
Milne, we think you've got a good
basketball team; we think you have 4
good spirit, a recl sense of school
loyulty, end a sincere interest in your
team. Judging things on this basis, we
can list for the rest of the seasona
long series of Milne victories. But re-
member, Milne, when your support stops,
your team's victories will stop. attend
EVERY homo game Gnd as many away games
“8 possible. You have the schedule of
basketball games which was printed fer
you through the athletic Council, You
elso have your Student Tex ticket.
Therefore there's no excuse for non-
attendances Give your team for EVERY
game thet same suppert which started off
the basketball seu.son so well last Fri-
day night. and give your tecm that sume
support tonight when it meets the Jeff-
erson quintet ut 6;00 in the Page Hall
