MONARCHS TAKE
OVER FIRST PLACE
in MID-STATELOO
Defeat Marion ST. Marys
In Rough and Tumble
Game Here Friday, 1886

In Rough and tumble
Game Here Friday, 1896
In a game marred by consider
able unnecessarily rough tactics
Marysville high school defeated
Marion st. Marys, 40 to 36, Friday
night, and moved into undisputeo
possession of first place in the Mid
State League. Monarch Reserves
also won, Is to 18.
With both teams playing fast
and furious game, there was LOT
of bodily contact, and the boys fire.
quently got more than a little pro-
voked at the opposition. As re-
suit, Marysville had two boys eli
minated from the game due to in
juries and st. Marys had two e.
jected by the officials for unneces-
Sary roughneSs.
AS far as the game itself was
concerned, it was a nip-and-tuck
battle all the way, with neither
team able to get much of a lead at
any juncture. Finally, late in the
final period, the Monarchs began
forging ahead and emerged the
four-point victor.
Diehl Is Injured
First boy to leave the floor was
Frank Diehl, Marysville's clever
and high-scoring forward. After
getting 10 points in the first IL
quarters, he became the target for
st. Marys rough-house stuff and
was finally rendered unconscious
for a few moments when Winter
steller, of Marion, jumped on his
head while he was on the floor.
Although Diehl had apparently re-
covered by the start of the second
half, officials refused to let him
play any more for fear of further
injury. WinterSteller was evicted
from the game for his part in the
melee.
In the third quarter, another
Marion boy, Dunn, was also ordered
out of the game when the referee
decided he had been guilty OF
rough playing. Dunn, it was said
used a few choice and uncalled-fol
words concerning the officials
which further prompted his dismis-
sal from the game,
Other Marysville boy to be
benched was Center Don Smith,
whose weak left knee was again
hurt. How soon he will be able to
play again is not known.
Score Close Throughout
Marysville's Dean Schiederer o.
pened the scoring with a long shot
on which the aim was perfect, and
the first quarter ended with the
Monarchs in front, 10 to 9. The
locals still held their one-point lead
at half time, 19 to Is. The score
was tied at the end of the third
quarters, with each team having
27 points.
Leo Robinson, who played a
bang-up game all the way, really
found the range in the final period,
to tally eight points and put his
team safely in front. His total for
the game was 19 points.
Marysville's Reserves trailed the
entire first half, but came back
strong the second half to win going
away. 1t was s to 4 at the end OF
the first period and 13 to 9 at the
half, both in st. MaryS' favor, but
the little MonarchS were in front,
Is to Ia, by the end of the third
period. Wall was high for Marys-
vile with 8 points, while Drake
tailed II for ST. Marys.
