SPECTATORS HELP

Tonight and tomorrow night the Town of WrangeIl will play hosts to the visiting Ketchikan High School basketball boys who are playing the local high school team.
 Our team is one of the best, as it's record for last year and this year shows, and it deserves the greatest support of local people.
 Last year the ketchikanWran- gell play-off wasn't very success full and some of the games this year have shown there are some of our spectators who can't take it. ,
 We want our team to win but win or lose, We want them to learn sportsmanship as part of their education. Most of us in the aud fence know what good sportsman- ship, on the part of the spectators consist of, so let's not get carried away with our feelings, but show that we do.
 Yelling encouragement to our hoys is good support but using abusive language toward referees and our guests, the visiting team helps no one and hurts the record of Wrangelrs fine team and it's supporters
