TELEVsIoN?
By Jack Scott


II someone in your family bought
a television set or radio for your
home, your family would be sure
to get some good use out of it. OF
that you can be. sure! This is an
example. A true converse of this
example, of interest and impOr-
tance to all of us at Milford High
School, is present in our midst. A
brand-new televisiOn set was in
stalled in the school for use by the
faculty and students. / am a stu
dent and have never heard or seen
this educational and recreatiOnal
device in use. ] have inquired
among my fellow classmates, and
a. few teachers, and they, too, have
gotten no benefit from this set.
The set is at present only a
piece of furniture to be relieved
of dust occasionally by a ianitOr,
and to be glanced upon with envi-
GUS eyes by those who still re-
member its purpose.
Operation Blackboard" News" 1,
eWiffle School House, "Universi-
ty of the Air" and Public Service
Programs" are a partial list Of
educational programs available to-
the public on televisiOn during
school hours alone. Baseball, foot
ball, and other sports and movies
comprise a cross section of the
recreatiOnal schedule I think that,
as the set was purchased for this
purpose, it should be used as such.
/ realize that the school officials
are NOT letting these facilities lie
idle purpOsely. They are handicap
ped by the lack of space and staff
to provide a suitable room and
proper teacher supervision for this
TV usage.
The solution is simply this. A
room should be assigned to the TV.
Study hall students, with work
satisfactorily completed, should be
allowed to get a pass to this room
for viewing purposes. UnOccupied
teachers. after instruction in the
use Of this instrument, could be
used as leaders in this program.

BUGS DOWN LEWES
ELEVEN HANDlLY,
13 TO 7
Baynum And Williams Tally

The Buccaneers Of MHS were
not to be denied the night of Octo-
Der 22nd when they achieved a
lOng-sOught victory over the Lewes
Pirates" by a score of 13 to z. The
score, however, does not reflect the
great Milford superiority in the
contest. A better estimation Of this
may be made by noting that the
"Bucs" amassed a total of II first
downs to the host teams 6.
Two Milford scores were nulli-
fed by Offside penalties before Mil
ford tailed a legitimate I'd in the
third period on a buttOn-hook pass
from quarterback Herman Jester
to end Jack Baynum. The CONVEX
sion was made by Tom Wells. La
ter, in the fourth quarter, the
"Bucs' scored on a plunge by Dick
Williams from two yards out. Wells
try for the extra point was wide
of its mark.
Lewes made its only trip to pay
dirt late in the final quarter on a
forward pass from Jackson to Coll
ings. The point after touchdown
was fashioned on a pass from
Ceilings to Scott Nelson.
MilfOrd's great defensive work
is evidenced by the fact that the
"PilOttowners" could make only
two first downs on the ground dur
ing the entire contest. The Milford
line was a replica of Fordham's
original "seven rocks of granite"
The Milford Offense continued to
be spanked by the excellent sprint
ing to the outside by Williams and
.Tawes behind the timely blocking
of Sonny Christensen. TESTERS pass
ing was always a threat which kept
the Lewes boys continually off
balance.

BY the Associoted Press

PHILADELPHIA, April IS

pennant hopes, is signed, sealsd
and delivered for the 1852 season.

The PhillieS were leading the

the pennant on the last day OF
the season and then lost the World

tomorrow night is expected to be
