Rhodes Reminds Prep Fans Of Sportsmanship Raleigh - School officials I in Franklin County have been I reminded that they should take definite steps to assure that sportsmanlike conduct previals at all school sports events. In a message to superinten dents and principals, Ray mond K. Rhodes, director of school athletics and activities in the State Department of Public Instruction, stressed the importance of prepara tion in improving the conduct of spectators and team mem bers. State Superintendent Craig Phillips, in his foreword to the pamphlet, emphasized that "competitive programs, in athletics have educational as well as recreational value If these activities are to pro mote good citizenship among the spectators and in the communities where. the oam?'l and supervision are necessary. School administrators need to are played, careful do everything possible to ! keep emergency situations 1 from developing." Plans should also be made to control any misconduct that might occur, Rhodes ad vised. He offered the follow- j ing pointers on the eve of the basketball season opening: "Before the first game of the season, hold an assembly ? program directed toward and emphasizing the role of the spectator, as it concerns sportsmanship. An exchange assembly should be arranged with the opposing schools which are your most serious rivals. "Discuss with all school I personnel their responsibility in maintaining a reserved and i sportsmanlike outward dis play of behavior. For the coach, this is a must. He is the key to actions of the j players and spectators. "Take the necessary steps . to control and supervise the bench conduct of your coach- I es and players in keeping with I the rules of basketball." Officials should be pro tected from irate actions of coaches or fans, Rhodes ob served. and it should be made very clear that "any belliger ent individual or any person who is uQder the influence of | alcohol should be ejected not only from the gymnasium but also from the school grounds." Assigning an adequate number of police, both inside and outside the gymnasium. will be a big help in maintain ing good discipline, he said Rhodes concluded by urg- - ing the school officials to work continuously toward the goal of developing good sportsmanship. Rhodes' giemurandum was a follow-up to a booklet issu ed to sclio^l administrators and coiches before the open " ing of the school year.
