24th Scout Anniversary

7Day_ During the Week of
February 8-14.
Another game over and to our
credit. TLf you missed Friday's game
you did yourself a grave injustice—
a faster, closer game again you will
never see.
In the entire thrilling evening I
met only one disappointment If I
had been told I never would have believed it. Tin my own mind I have
always figured we, Saline, were good
sports. We certainly didn't show
good sportsmanship Friday night,
(when we booed the- referee. If *a referee _showa. distinct partiality ' he
Seeds' aTgpbd booing." You nivet* Tsaw
a fairer, better referee than we had
Friday night. Tin the excitement of
the game, and being so intent on
winning, we forgot ourselves when
Chelsea got the "breaks." Can't you
imagine yourself on the floor trying
to referee a game fairly and squarely and then get such a rude "correction" as we gave our referee last
week ? '
I'm sure we are all sorry; if we
are not* we should not admit it.
I don't see haw anyone could say
the referee showed partiality. Maybe
if the Saline-supporters read up on
basketball a little they would not be
so apt to "ride" the referee. . If the
■audience couldn't see the fouls that
caused all the booing I think Dr.
Westfall of Ypsi is a very good
eye specialist. Did you ever hear of
"harking?'' Suppose you read the
gmles and find out about it.
Remember the offer Friday night
"if»we didn't like it we could get our
money back and leave!" If we were
right in our unjust impoliteness I'm
sure iwe would have gone in a_bodv
-and stormed the gate. We didn't
What does it prove to you? A littls
guiltv feeling?
Did you ever hear of a state champion track man being slow ? * Well,
our referee was just such, and I
heard he was slow.
Good sportsmanship, folks,' is half
the game.    Let's not forget it.

BEAD THE'TUNER ADS TODAY!
Last Wednesday night Haarer's,
all dolled up in their new uniforms,
took the first game from Dixie Gas
but dropped the other two, thereby
remaining in their coveted position,
the cellar.
The new outfits" consist of a red
i sweat-shirt with white collar and
cuffs, with the players' nickname on
the front and Haarer's across the
back. The under sweater is also red
and has Haarer's across the back but
no name on the front. There is a
report around town that the other
teams will also come out with new
regalia and when they do, well,
that'll be sumpthin'.
Lee Tescher, ssubstitute for Dixie
Gas, walked off with Thigh total honors while Bert Gillen, another Substitute, took high single score of 160.
The  scores follow:

The seniors' last plea to you. Tomorrow night the class is presenting
"months of work." No, that is not
the title of the drama, but represents
its sub-title; 'TIf you have ever participated in amateur theatricals you
realise the work conne"ted with it.
Months, and months of diligent study
and hours of hard work. The senior*1
did this so you would get your mon-
ey's worth. They succeeded. You'rr
going to get it. It is up to you to
pack that 'gym. The farce, "Dying
to Live,'' is somewhat longer than
preceding plays of past years, but
throughout the fun and riot you will
wish it were twice as long.
Come ye all. Never again will you
get such an evening of entertainment
for a V.'— Just think. %! Not much
of the "whole'' is it?
You pay to see four quarters in
basketball and like it. Give the seniors one quarter and see what you
get.
