WILT ’.Then it rains, it pours in Nev port High. In past years, if one person was on crutches or had a broken arm someone else would also be crippled to keep him company. The same is true this year. In the seventh grade, Ellen Je ..n Maneval is wearing a cast from her elbow to her finger tips. She had her arm broken five years ago and recently had it operated on at the Shriner’s Hospital in Philadelphia, But she’s not the only one! There are two more—seniors. Mary Ellen Uagner stumbled over the curb and broke her arm between the elbow and the shoulder during Christmas vacation. Her cast is from her shoulder to her hand. Of course, Jane Wright takes the pri'ae for orginality. She is struggling around ’on crutches with, of all things,--a broken toe. One ni :ht after basketball orectice the wash bowl in the girls’ shower v..s knocked loose. hen Jane went to turn off the water, the sin.: fell on her toe. Her big toe was cut and the one next to it, broken. Even though, as ur. Eby says; they are maimed and crippled , these girls still get to school and basketball games.

Scoring a 25 to 12 decision, the girls gained ground in the Tri-County League at the expense of hew Bloomfield. The score was 5-5 at' the end of the first quarter, but newport steadily crept up on Hew Dloonficld in the remaining three quarters. Arlene Jones tallied 10 points for the victors while Knabe had 5 for runner-up honors. The Hanning sisters led the attacks as the Hillorsburg Sextet jumped to an early lead and held that advantage' throughout the gone on Jan. 16. The local girls outscorcd the visitors in' the third and fourth quarters, but not enough to overcome the Hil-lersburg score. Both Jean'Knabe and Arlene Jones had 6 points each. By getting a good start in the first period and not being threatened by Duncannon, the Lew-port lassies paced out a 33“9 score over the opponents. This triumph set Kewport in fourth place in the League where they were before losing to ’Hillersburg. The girls have lost two and won two league games. Arlene Jones tallied 12 points while Louella Cox followed close with 11 points for iewnort. On January 5, the i-Iew.ort. boys started off 194-0 by losing to Central Penn on the l-cnl floor by a 34- to 26 count. At intor.aiucion the ‘'o. s held a two point advantage :iainry through jltcheil’s efforts, who scored two field goals and converted four fouls. In the third period Central Penn’s offensive began to work and they outscoied Kewport in each of the last three periods to gain revenge for an earlier defeat handed then by Newport. Cass and Petrow, two for er '. cat Shore stars, led the college team’s attack scoring twenty-six points between them, ’litchell played well for Pe port scoring ten points. Carson Long Tops Newport Saturday afternoon, January 6, proved to be unlucky for the Hewport cagers as they lost their second game in as many days. In the second period Gluberg, an elusive forward, scored five field goals to put Carson Long into the load for the rest of the ga c. During this game ITewport showed a v eak defense as Carson Long intercepted many of their passes and scored field goals; Accurate foul shooting, however, enabled the I'ev port boys to make the ganc very close when they converted ten fouls out of eighteen. ■JHK.
