IRISH TURN BACK
MONARCHS' BID
IN LEAGUE GAME
ST. Marys 37-27 Winner
Friday Night After Even
Play During First Half

MaTySville high school, football
champions of the Mid State Lea
que in its first year of operation,
opened its quest for the loops
first basketball title in an unsuc-
CeSSful bid at Marion st. Marys,
Friday night. The Irish forged a.
head the second half to finish on
the long end of a 81 to q score.
Principally accountable for up
setting the Monarchs was one
Winterstellar, fast and clever for
ward who came through with Il
points in the second half to lead
his team to victory. The lads total
points for the evening were ID, all
scored on field goals.
The MonarchS still failed to get
back into their best form, exhibited
week earlier against Delaware,
and at times looked pretty ragged.
Although there was some excellent
ball handling on the part of the To-
Gals, there were too many muffed
chances during the fray and ST.
| MaryS is simply not a team that
one can let down against for
single moment.
The play was all even the entire
first half, with each team having
u points at the end of the first
quarter, and II points at the half
; way mark Throughout the entire
first half, the lead exchanged hands
constantly, with neither team very
! far in front.
The third period was St. Mary's
I big chance The Irish netted 10
points that quarter, eight of them
by Wintersteller. The Monarchs,
on the other hand, fiddled around
to wind up with but one basket the
| entire quarter, scored by Leo Rob-
inson. That worthy, by the way,
was top scorer for the locals with
10 points.
In the final stanZa, the Mon
archs recovered somewhat, but the
Irish had the game so well under
control by that point that Marys
ville'S efforts were well-nigh hope
less. The locals tailed eight points

CHARGES ARISE
FROM MINOR CRASH

Charges and counter-charges
have been filed in the Court of
Justice William H. Snodgrass by a
Columbus truck driver and Jer-
ONE township resident, following a
minor collision and alter-catiOn
near New California, last weke.
Harold E. Wilkins, Columbus,
driver for the Suburban Motor
Freight CO., has charged c. E.
Hinderer, New California, and Will
liam Brown, Unionville Center,
with assault and battery. Hinderer
countered with a charge of reck-
less operation against Wilkins.
Both parties pleaded not guilty at
preliminary hearing and were re-
leased under their own recogniZ-
ances pending second hearing this
morning.
Sheriff II. S. RooSa said Wilkins
told him that the trailer of his
truck outfit had evidently Scraped
the left rear fender of HindererS S
care as he passed the Hlnderer
machine east of New California.
Wilkins was not aware of it, he
told the Sheriff, until he stopped
for the traffic light in New Calf
! ornia, where Hinderer and Brown
overlook and attempted to attack
him. The two men rode his run
ming boards as far as Uncle Sans
Ranch. where they again allegedly
attacked him.
The Sheriff was called to New
California by Brown to investigate
the affair. Wilkins said Hinderer
and Brown had gotten back to
New California before he did, be-
cause it took him some time to un-
couple the trailer from the tractor
and get back to that village. 1t had
also been his intention, Wilkins
said, to call the Sheriff.

past four years. Director RamSower
says Ohio women kept the homes
going and did lot of farming or
the side in the war years.
Farm and Home Week will bring
to the University men and womer
who kept the wheels of food pro
duction turning when the wheels
had to be turned by hand at night
The campus visitors will be hopinl
they will get news that the equip
ment and supplies which have beer
! lacking for four years will be a
vailable soon.
Most of them will come in &
spirit of quiet rejoicing typified BY
the Vinton county mother who sale

car that goes along the road be-
cause Robert might be in it. If he
gets home, that's all the Christmas
l want" Robert was coming bach
from 80 months in the Army.
