THE BLUE ALL V.'HITE Spcrts Bunoannon v as the next league opponent rf the Buffaloes on the Dunoanncn fleer. Our team, though off their stride, tied the fast Luncannon team, who usually .play their best gene cn their heme floor against.Newport. -Again the teamwork of the Newport Varsity featured, when, after being thirteen points behind; the Buffaloes came-through ith fiying colors to tie the scare in the fourth period vith two minutes remaining to play.. • ' 'i The glowing reports cf Newport supporters have aroused a great amount of interest among people of the basketball circle in the surrounding towns and counties. The team, this year, is reputed to be one cf the best produced by Coach Rothenberger in years. Rooters Technique Traveling with our Basketball .teams to many'of the recent games this correspondent has outlined a few-pointers about Rooters Courtesy which we have found aricng other schools, and-which should be adopted by the Newport cheering section. 1. Both teams should be given a rousing cheer when they first aj pear on the floor. : 2. Rooters should show ccwrtesy to all opponents. 3. When a fine play is made by either team it should be complemented. 4. When a player who has played a fine game, either opponent or home teem player, is taken from the floor the audience should give him a good hand,as he leaves the game. 5. An injured player should receive an individual yell. These are but a few cf the fine rules cf which all goffr rooters and good sportsman should follow. ’ Jeffries Grocery Lesh Pres. 117 South 4th Street Fresh Meats Vegetables High Grade Groceries Chrysler Plymouth Sales and Service Wiley’s Confectionery Hot Dog Sandwiches Made Right Every Night
