ANOTHER AUTO is
WRECKED AT TURN

Another automobile was wreck
ed at the turn from the Kenton rd.
into Elwood ave., Saturday night.
Driven by a salesman for the
Armour Packing company, the
automobile skidded sidewise into a
steel pole in front of John Mer-
ritt's service station.
Despite the fact that the State
Highway Department has said the
turn is not dangerous enough to
warrant further markings than it
already has, the accident Saturday
is but one of many similar ones
which have occurred there. Drivers
headed toward town approach the
turn too fast to make 1t, not know
ing it is there.
The automobile of Mrs Lininger,
Marysville, was badly damaged
when IT upset on a curve on Route
SO, near Chuckery, earlier Satur-
day evening. Mrs. Lininger was un-
hurt.
Both automobiles were taken TO

LONDON DEFEATS
MARYSVILLE, 300,
IN HARD CONTEST
Raiders Too Fast, Driving
For Monarchs In, Gruelling
Tilt; Mt. Gilead Next

London High schools power
house was too much for Marysville
and the MonarchS dropped a 80
to o decision on the Raiders grid
iron, Friday night.
The game was a slam-bang,
hard-fought affair on both sides,
but London had too much power
and speed for the Monarchs to cope
with. AS a result, the Raiders
pushed over one touchdown in each
of the first two quarters, two in
the third period, and one in the
fourth.
Even in defeat, however, the con-
test was not without redeeming
features for MarySville. The line,
in particular, played a hard game
and Coach Jake Won Kanel of the
London aggregation was high in
his praise "of the toughest line
game we have had all season" Won
Kanel declared.
London Reserves Strong
One factor in the LondonerS fa-
or is reserve material. So strong
is his squad this year that Won
Kanel was able to send in an entire
new line, presumably his second
team, without any appreciable let
up in the drive and speed on the
London attack. The second team
played much of the game, but ap-
peared just as strong as the start
ing line.
London charged hard and fast, "
Coach Ehlen said in summing up
the contest. They start quick and
have plenty of drive. They just
simply packed too much speed fol
us to cope with"
Marysville, depending upon pass
es, was unable to complete a one.
The London line was able to break
through Marysville defense and
rush Nanny Rogers to the extent
that he was unable to get his pass
es off in good style. This resulted
in London being able to keep its
