EHLEN RESIGNS
HIS TEACHING POST
Ohio Northern Graduate
Is Named AS Successor

Resignation of John +. (Jack)
Ehlen as athletic coach and indus
trial arts teacher in the Marysville
schools was announced today by
Supt. H. w. Carr. The resignation
will become effective Nov. 16.
He will be succeeded by War
rem Widener, of Lima, recently
discharged from the Army. He is
the husband of the former Pauline
Kennedy, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Paul Kennedy of w. Sixth st.
Coach Ehlen came to Marysville
in 1941 to replace 1t. Paul Wen
eel, who was drafted into the Ar
my that summer. 1t. WenZel is
now physical training officer at
Fort Knox, Ky. Before coming to
Marysville, Mr.. Ehlen had pre-
viously taught at Woodstock and
New Holland.
He is graduate of Kenton high
school and Ohio Northern uni
verSity, Ada. He leaves Marysville
to accept full-time employment with
the Standard Oil Company and
will be locaten in Marion. He will
remain at Marysville to finish the
current football season, one of the
most successful so far that Ma
rySVille has had in several years.
Mr.. Widener, like his prede-
ceSsor, is also a graduate of Ohio
Northern university, where he was
a star football, basketball and
baseball player. His credits are
exactly those of Mr.. Ehlen's, a ma
jor in physical education and a
minor in industrial arts.
This will be Mr.. Widener's first
teaching position, he having been
drafted into the Army almost inn
mediately upon graduation from
college. He was discharged in Aug
uSt with a rank of lieutenant. Be-
fore going to college he was grad
uated from Lima South high
school, where he was also prom
inent in athletics.
Mr.. Widener will not assume
teaching duties until Nov. 19, but
will begin coaching basketball
Nov. 6 for those boys not on the
football team.

FOOTBALL TITLE
AT STAKE FRIDAY
In CONTEST HERE
Marion ST. Marys To Be
Opposition For Homecoming
Game With Marysville

w ANAA AN1AA
Football championship of the
Mid-State League will be at stake
Friday afternoon when Marion st.
MaryS comes here to meet the Ma
rysville high school Monarchs.
Currently, the local team is on
top of the League, with Marion st.
Marys and Redwood tied for sec
ond place and Mt. Gilead, third
The only league game remaining
is the one here Friday, beginning
at 2:30 pm.
Should Marysville win, it will
give the Monarchs undiSputed
championship with six points,
leaving st. MaryS and Redwood
tied for second, with three points
each. If st. MaryS wins, it will
give the Irish the title with five
points, putting the Monarchs in
second place with four and drop
ping Redwood to third, with three,
A tie-game Friday would still
give Marysville the championship
with five points, but would put st.
Marys in second place with four
points and Redwood in third, with
three.
Previous League Results
In previous League encounters
Mt. Gilead has lost to each of the
other three teams, Marysville has
defeated Redwood, and Redwood
and st. MaryS played a Scorless
tie. Points are awarded on the
bassi of two points for win and
one point for tie.
The game Friday will also be the
annual homecoming contest for
MarySville high school. Between
halves, Miss Barbara Hush, a SEN
ior in Marysville high school, will
be crowned homecoming queen.
Her attendants will be Miss Shir-
ley Brandt and Miss Marilyn Mill
er.
In addition to the coronation
there will be other ceremonies be-
tween halves, and the Marysville
high band has worked ont several
speeiaf-featuFeS for the program.
A homecoming dance in the recre-
alton room will complete the days
festivities.
Close Contest Seen
So far as the game itself is con-
cerned, look for a close contest,
with Marysville ruled as slight
favorite.
Marysville will go into the game
in excellent shape, except for
Guard Jimmy HaineS, who suffer-
ed a broken bone in his left leg,
just above the ankle, in the Mt.
Gilead game last week. He is out
for the remainder of the season.
Guard Don Burroughs, ineligible
last week, has his grades back up
so he will be able to go against the
Irish.
Probable Starters
Coach Jack Ehlen will probably
start the following boys: Junior
Grimes and Bob Shanks, ends;
Gordon Snyder or Ed Burger and
Danny Dayton, at tackles; Bur-
roughS and Douglas Beasecker,
guards; King Forty, center; Dale
Bell, quarterback; Noel Howard
and Don Smith, halfbacks; and
Nanny Rogers, fulback
The game will be the last home
game of the season for Marysville,
and probably the last ever to be
played on the Fair grounds. 1t is
hoped that the new athletic field
will be ready for use by next fall.
After tomorrow, there will be only
one contest left for Marysville
the season closing at Sunbury next
Friday
