NINE COUNTY TEAMS TO SEE
CAGE ACTION TONITE, FRIDAY

Also on Friday night, York will
play at Magnetic Springs in a
League tilt, while Raymond en-
tertains Byhalia. In the latter
contest, is not League game, al
though both schools are in the
north League. They will meet "a
gain at later date for their Of
ficial squabble.
Watkins and Broadway both
have open dates, and the Chuck
ery-Darby coach has not yet re-
ported his schedule SO we were
unable to announce Darby's game,
this week, if any.
For a quick size-up of the
games: Union should take Allen
and New Cally looks like too
much for Dover; Raymond, on its
early record, should best Byhal-
la; Magnetic Springs, defending
county and district champs, is
favored over York; while Urbana
should edge Redwood, based on
purely upon comparative sizes of
the schools and Richwood's loss
last week to Pleasant.

BAND PARENTS MEET

met in the Senior high Monday,
with thirty interested parents
present. The minutes of the last
meeting were read and approved,
outstanding bills were allowed.
Mr. Euverard expressed his
thanks to all the band members
and all who helped make the Tag
Day sale a success. Each year
Tag Day" is the day that Ma
rysville is given an opportunity
to say THANK You" to its high
school band, and to invest in the
future of that fine morale build
ing organization. The only finan-
cial support of the band is its
earning power through concerts
and parades and the donations
made by our Marysville people
Over two thousand people pur-
chased band booster tags with
donations from SO to S25. APP
proXimately $500 was raised. This
amount and more is needed if Mr..
Euverard is able to carry out his
plans for the development of a
good Concert band this spring
and a snappy marching band for
our next football season.
Following the business meeting,
a social hour was enjoyed with
refreshments served by the Of

with bang this year. All togeth-
er, the sales totaled over $500.
That's big amount of money for
40 kids to collect in one day and
we're really proud of them. The
band marched through town in
the morning and then divided off
into their various sections. In the
evening they marched through
town and played on the square:
Mary Kay Wright was super sales
man with grand total of S64.
Next in order of their sales were:
John Fox, Margaret Reams, Mar
ian McCracken, and Jane Bea-
seeker. The money is going to be
used for a new set of kettle
drums and some other equipment
for the band. The school apprec-
iates the generosity of the people
of Marysville in supporting the
band in this way.
Last Wednesday afternoon the
senior members of the Hi-Y and
Y-Teen presented very inspira-
tional Thanksgiving program. The
program consisted of several
Thanksgiving stories and the sing

M. H. S. PLAYS
LEAGUE TILT
SATURDAY EVE
Game To Be Held Here;
Two Changes In Lineup
Following London Game

Marysville high school will
open the defense of its Mid-State
League basketball championship,
Saturday night, when Sunbury
high comes here for a game in
the M. H. S. gymnasium.
Drawing upon observations
from last Fridays game with Lon
don, Coach Warren Widner has
made two shifts in his probable
starting lineup for this week.
One change puts Nanny Rogers
at the pivot position in place of
Johnny Dayton, on the offense,
and moves Dayton to back guard.
The latter will still play defen-
sive pivot, however, where the
utmost use can be made of his
outstanding ability on rebound
work.
The other change moves Billy
Wall to the starting lineup, in
place of Harry Evans, although
the latter will still see plenty of
action.
AS a result of these changes,
the starters will probable be Wall
at right forward; Jack Mcclure
at left forward; Rogers at center;
Dean Scheiderer, right guard; and
Dayton, left guard.
Besides Evans, Dale Bell and
Everett Alexander will also be
used as relief duties but will
probably see a lot of action dur
ing the game. Jerry Kingsmore,
who twisted his ankle in the
warm-up period before the Lon
don game last week, is still limp
ing around, unable to go at full
tilt, but may be in shape by Sat-
urday night. If so, Coach Widner
plans to make as much use as
possible because of his height,
young Kingsmore standing at
more than g. q"
Following last Fridays defeat
at London, due to inaccurate
shooting, Coach Widner has been
stressing this all-important phase
in his practice sessions this week.
The boys are showing much I'M
provement in their shooting this
week, and if they hit in a game
like they did in practice, then
there will be plenty of trouble for
the opposition.
The Marysville Reserve team
will shape UP about the same as
in London game, and probably
throughout the entire season,
Coach Widner said. He plans to
use freshmen on this team as
much as possible, so they can gain
experience for future season.
