put lettermen in the tackle jobs.
Graduation hit the Monarchs
particularly hard in the two tackle
position, and the coach has been
wondering ever since last fall what
he might do about it. His tenta-
tive solution calls for putting Cor
don Snyder, reserve end last year,
at one tackle, and either Don Bur-
roughs or Bob Parr, former guards,
at the other.
The way it looks now, the start
ing lineup will probably be as fol-
lows:
Junior Grimes and Bob Shanks,
ends; Snyder and Burroughs or
Parr, tackles; Jimmy Haines and
Burroughs or Parr at guards; King
Forty at center; and Dale Bell,
Noel Howard, Don Smith and
Nanny Rogers in the backfield.
Bell will be quarterback and Rog-
ers, fullback.
Reserve Material
In reserve material, Ehlen is
more fortunate than a school the
size of Marysville generally is. The
first-string substitutes include sew
eral boys who will keep pushing
the regulars all season long for
their position, and who will make
excellent varsity material next
year, especially on the line. These
include:
Ends-Jerry Kingsmore and
Earl Thomas, Sophomores, and
Sharf, a rangy lad who played
quite a bit with Marion Harding
last season. He is a junior.
Tackles-George Evans and Dick
Graves, Juniors. n
Guards-John KeirnS, Dick
Thrall and Art Brandt, juniors.
Center-Keirns.
Backs-E. Alexander, and Nicol,
both juniors.
First game will be played during
the Union county Fair with Worth
ington high school furnishing the
opposition. 1t will be played Sept.

Suit from Otte's
Given Refugee
Brings Inquiry

1t is not often that a Marys-
vile store has an opportunity to
serve a customer 4000-odd miles
away, but an inquiry from a res
ident of Belgium was received last
week by Louis F. Otte, local cloth
ier.
The inquiry came by letter from
one c. w. StraSters, of Antwerp,
Belgium, who had been given a
suit, which originally came from
Mr.. Cites store, by war relief
committee after his home had been
bombed out last spring.
Although awkwardly worded in
places, the letter is excellently
typed and spelling is correct, indi-
eating that Mr.. Strasters is a we'll
educated man. An interesting fea-
ture is the manner in which the
letter is addressed 1t follows:
