NEW YORK, March 10.-R@As
m aftermath Of the Brooklyn bas-
ketbau scandal, bills have been In
troduced in the legislatures Of New
York, Massachusetts, California
and Michigan - and maybe some
other states-putting virtually all
sports under control Of state com.
missions. Whether this would
bring improvement is debatable,
but it is noteworthy that the gam

mated from commission-controlled
boxing. Only recently New Or

the boxing commission to break
up some Of the practice Of dis

redeem the time by using the phil
osophy of giving and sharing which
is emphasized by the cooperative
movement; also by educating the
heart as well as the mind; to live
close to nature; fight against
things which undermine demo
cracy; be loyal to our country; re-
store our home life; support the
Christian church; and in all ways
cooperate with the Higher Power
in making this world a better one

ector for the Ohio Farm Bureau

Here. He numerated the hiStori-
cal events of the Gay Nineties, >

pared to the great events taking
place today. Isolation is gone, he
said, and we must learn to forgive
and learn to follow the principles
of the young man of Nazareth
which alone can bring cooperation
among nations and among people
of each nation. He urged farmers
to join Advisory Councils where
they may discuss problems anC
work out solutions for cooperation
with each other and with people
living in the towns and cities.

TEAM DEVELOPING
RAPIDLY FOR ITS
INITIAL CONTEST
Two Backfield Injuries
Hamper Operations, But
Prospects Otherwise Good

Although two backfield main
stays will be forced to miss several
practices due to injuries, the Ma
rysville high school football team
is rapidly rounding into shape for
its opening game with Worthington
high school at the Fair grounds,
Sept ID.
Nanny Rogers, fullback, receiv-
ed a twisted ankle and leg injury
in a scrimmage last week, while
Don Smith, halfback, has a knee
injury. Both injuries, in addition
to minor Sprains and bruises on
several other boys, are due pri-
marily to the condition of the foot
ball field, concerning which moth
ing can be done.
Whether or not Smith and Rag
erS will be in condition for the op-
ening game is not definite, but at
least neither will be able to prac-
tice this week.
Tackles Still Problem
However, Coach Jack Ehlen is
encouraged over the rest of the
team. "They know their weakness
es and are working hard to over
come them," the coach said. IF
can get the mall together at one
time, they're going to make a
pretty fair team"
Tackles are still proving to be
a problem, although this has been
somewhat bolstered by newcomer
out for the first time last week.
He is Danny Dayton, who play
ed last year with a Florida school.
Although not heavy as tackles go,
he is aggressive and rangy and a
/ hard-hitter. He is alternating with
Bob Parr at the left tackle spot,
but neither boy has been able to
go full speed yet, due to sore mus
cles from early-season workouts.
Backfield Reserves
The other tackle position is
being taken by Gordon Snider, who
is working out very satisfactorily
in spite of the fact that he was an
end last season.
Taking the place of Rogers and
Smith in the backfield have been
Everett Alexander, Gene Nicol,
Don ShFoyer and Harold Sprague.
The first two in particular have
been turning in good performances
and will make fine reserve mater
ial.
Ehlen gave the squad several
plays last week, most of them run
from the T formation. They are
mastering the plays in good fashion
and will be ready for additional
ones this week.
One thing Ehlen has learned
this past week and that is, his
team will have their hands full in
their opening assignment against
Worthington.
WOrthingtOn Is Tough
The Cardinals have practically
| the same team back as they hao
last season. 1t will be remember
ed that, on the Worthington field
Marysville absorbed a 33 to c
shellacing in the opening 1914 tilt
One fast, hard-hitting backfielc
boy was particularly responsible
for the Worthington showing that
night. He has graduated (thank
goodness) but the Cardinals have
a replacement for him, it is re-
liably reported.
At any rate, it should be gooo
ball game to watch, and will be
played as part of the Union county
Fair this next week.
