TOMORROW ON ~ HOME COURT
IN YEAR'S SECOND ENCOUNTER
Following a triumph over Coble-
skill, the Rambling Wrecks of Milne High
School will encounter the Bethlehem
Centré quintet on the Page Hall court.
The game with the Black and Orange squad
is the second of the bi-annual contests
and is expected to hold keen interest
for the Milnites as well us fest compe-
tition for the Crimson Tide. In the
first encounter this year the Milne team
was able, for the first time in five
years, to down their rivals. The Delmar
quintet were left holding a 14 point
score while the Milne squad tallied 50
points.
Because of the second smashing
victory over Cobleskill, the Crimson and
White basketeers are expected to con-
tinue their winning streak. It is most
probable that Coach Bancroft will send
in the same line-up which downed Coble-
skill. Those who will compose the first
string are Captain Doug MacHarg, Howie
Rosenstein, Ralph Norvell, Bob Taft,
Walt Simmons, Ray Hotaling, and Foster
Sipperly.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE BOYS?
What's come over this school that
no one seems to be going to basketball
games? At the beginning of the season,
every one seemed to go to the games and
cheer very well. Now, comparatively few
people come.
The team is just as good as it was
in the beginning of the season; in fact,
in our opinion, it is better. But
still people dontt come to the games.
Most of those that do come are girls or
fromthe junior high school. Where are
the senior boys? That seems to be tho
problem. Perhaps the team would be bet-
ter with more support.
The cheer leaders have been working
hard to have good cheers but without
boys’, voices, nothing can be heard.
Every other sshool has volume in their
cheers; why not Milne?
This Saturday night is the time to
prove whether or not you are going to
support the team. We expect a good
turnout for the game, with some senior
high boys to cheer.

Romeo
Dear Romeo;
That's a pretty bad habit. Try
doing something for it. Maybe cod-liver
would make you immune. Try it for a
week and if it doesn't work, try this;
1. Treat them rough; they love it.
2. Dontt let them know you like
them. If a girl thinks a boy is a
(socalled) woman hater she'll break her
neck to get him. At least nine out of
ten will, and usually the tenth isn't so
hot.
Follow the above for two weeks and
if that doesn't work, you'd better give

Dear Voice of Inexperience;
Who is right about love

Deluded
Dear Deluded;
The cynic. Do you know u poet?
People like to be fooled. They know
how life really is, but, just to fool
themselves, they read poetry. It's no
uses You can't read poetry for the rest
of your life, so you'll have to face the
gruesome details sooner or later.
Your first love case, which usually
happens when you're about fourteen, is
always grand, but that's over in about
six months, After that, you know what
love really is, and there's not much
Glamour in ite I must be a cynic!
Of course, if it will help you any,
I'll say that the poet is right.
Are you happy?

MILNE DEFEATS COBLESKILL
IN OVERWHELMING VICTORY
By Foster Sipperly
Once again the Crimson tide broke
the spell of their previous losses to
Cobleskiil. The tecm rolled over another
easy victory, with a score of 36-13,
Cobleskill opened the scoring rank
with a clean side-line shot which ‘they
followed with a foul shot making it 35-0.
This was stopped when the Milne boys
began to pile up the score. The score
at the end of the first quarter led
Milne 7-3. The second quarter opened
with an increasing climb due to good
team work and well pleced shots. At the
end of the first half the score was
22-5 with the Milne team way in the
lead. Taft and Norvell led the scoring
list with 8 points apiece. Close seconds
were Doug. MacHarg, Rosenstein, and Sim-
mons, who tallied six points apiece,
The substitutes, including most of the
Je Ve's, kept in good form against the
Cobleskill varsity.

submit a question. Parsonally we would
not admit wriving a solumm called the
"Voice of Tnexperience," oither,
We beg to coll to mind the fact
that this coming Friday night is to be
celebruted »y the annual Quin-Sigma
