Marysville high school opened
the defense of its Mid.State league
football championship in convinc-
ing fashion, Friday night, by de-
feating Redwood high, 10 to 0,
on the new Marysville athletic
field.
The Monarchs continued to play
the alert, aggressive football which
has characterized their last three
games and Redwood although a
well-drilled, fighting aggregation,
was simply outclassed all the way.
Marysville had the edge in both
weight and speed, and the score
Just about tells the difference be-
tween the two teams. The Tigers
showed plenty of fight throughout,
however, and never once did they
look like a team which was ready
to give up.
The northenders have some good
backs in Smith and Wiley, but
none who could match the speed
and stiffness of the Monarchs'
small but mighty Dale Bell. Rich
wood had a dangerous passing at
tack, but it couldn't equal the ac-
curate toSseS of Nanny Rogers.
Taylor, Cowgirl, Cheney and Wood
in particular appeared to be turn
ing in some good line play for the
Tigers, but the Redwood line was
outcharged on most of the plays
by the MonarchS.
Score In First Period
In other words, Redwood has a
good football team again this sea-
son, but Marysville's is one of the
best in years and should "go to
town. from here on in unless the
boys become too overconfident.
Marysville lost little time in
punching across the first touch
down of the game. The Monarchs
lzicked-off but Redwood could
not gain and punted. There was a
mother exchange of kicks and then
Marysville took the ball on its
own 35-yard line, where Bell was
downed after a 20-yard punt re-
turn.
On the first play, Harold Hill
picked up II yards for a first
down. Alexander couldn't gain,
and then Rogers passed to left end
Johnny Dayton. The latter toted
the leather all the way to Rich
woods 25-yard line, where he was
apparently trapped, and then lat
eraled the ball to Alexander, who
eluded three would-be tacklerS to
cross the goal standing up. Bells
attempted place-kick was low.
The quarter ended short time
later with Redwood in possess
sion of the ball after the kickoff,
on its own 36-yard line.
Second Period
During the second period, neith-
er team threatened, although
there was plenty to cheer about
as each side intercepted passes OF
the other. There was also some
flashy running on the part of both
teams, but the action was safely
restricted to mid-field, and some
untimely penalties, slowed down
advances for both sides.
The second touchdown came in
the third quarter, and the Mon
archS really earned it. Redwood
kicked-off to start the second half,
and Marysville began a march
which finally paid off, but not
without some detours.
Hill returned the kickoff from
the 10-yard line to the Marysville
49, and for a while it appeared as
if he might be loose. Alexander
picked up five yards, then an Off
sides penalty on the Monarchs
nullified it. A pass, Rogers to Bell,
made it a first down on the Rich
wood Al.
Penalties Call Back Score
Hill sliced off tackle to the "a,
and Bell dove through the center
of the line to the 81. He picked
up two more for another first
