by storm last evening and despite
some unsportsmanlike tactics indulg-
cd i'm by the Bucyrus officials, Mar
ion was victorious at basketball, vol
leyball and bowling.
The Basketball.
Marion's state leaguers were cour
ageous enough to overcome seeming
ly unsurmountable odds and defeat
ed Bucyrus at basketball by a score
of 80 to 32.
The contest was fast one from
start to finish although the locals
threw far more field goals and their
play was superior to that of the home
team. foul goals pitched by Bucyrus
and points awarded to Bucyrus by a
home official kept the result in doubt
until the end.
In the first half Gloomy Hume, Rice
and Foster performed in clever style
on the offensive and their goal shoot
ing on the strang floor was clcveris-
simo. The first half, counting the
fouls pitched, was nip and tuck and
finally ended with Marion 20 and Bu-
cyrus Is. Seeing "A chance to de-
feat the league leaders Bucyrus
fought desperately in the second half
and Referee Norton of Bucyrus help
ed the desire along as much as any
official could. Time and again he
called fouls on Marion players for
offenses no rulebook ever mentioned
and b. Braden, of the Bucyrus team
generally Gagged the goal. Twice in
the second half Norton awarded
points to Bucyrus claiming that a
Marion player had fouled his op-
ponents when the latter was about to
pitch for the basket.
But the Marion outfit was not to be
discouraged by these tatics. The To-
Gals only worked the harder Click
Rice and Hume came to the rescue
with some clever shots, and Click
especially did brilliant bucket shoot

Satisfaction VS.. Dissatisfaction
ALBERT a. BRYANT,
Oakland

Dissatisfaction Is an evil in some
ways. People don't seem satisfied
with what they have. They want what
other people have although it might
not be so good. A man wishes he had
another mans job, while on the other
hand that man wants the first mans
job. They envy each other and want
each others things. because they are
for the time unattainable. For ex-
ample; a man will get an auto. Is he
satisfied? No He wants q better
one. He gets ii. Is he satisfied? No.
He wants still better one. He gets
it, only with n mortgage on it, as he
can not afford to get 1t without He is
slow in paying. He sees a friend who
has a job better than his. so he gets
one like it. He is not capable of doing
the work, he loses his position. No
Job, no auto, but penniIess. Why?
Because he simply was not satisfied
with his first auto. If he had kept the
first one and his job, he would have
been a far happier man.
When people are satisfied they are
comfortable, but dissatisfaction makes
them uncomfortable and restless
The man in the auto almost always
comes to grief when he is restless and
not satisfied with the speed he is GO
ing. He wants to go just a little
faster then little faster, until he
meets his end; just because he was
