Tough Drills Held
He has put the Monarchs
! through some really rugged drills
this week, ironing out weak spots
which slowed up in the opening
game with Worthington last week.
! Particularly has been concentrat-
ing on blocking and tackling, and
in getting the line to move more
quickly when the ball is snapped
from center.
The latter being outcharged by
the other team, both on offenSe
and defense-waS the Monarchs'
principal flaw at Worthington, and
cost them the game. Once this is
corrected, and some other details
worked out, Marysville should have
a smOothly-functioning aggrega-
ton.
Little is known of Mechanics
burg, except they have a couple
of big boys, a lot of speed and
new coach whom, they say, knows
what it's all about. Weight reports
from the Indians indicate their
starting lineup will average about
Ieight pounds heavier than the Mon
archs. This being true, if the Burg
has the speed they are said to
have and are well versed in the
game as they should be with good
coach, then the Monarchs are in
for trouble, and an unsuccessful de-
; dication $50 far as the score is con-
Icerned for Marysville) is quite pos
lSible.
