SATURDAY
Sunbury Turns Back
Monarchs, 80 To 22;
Reserves Win Again

Marysville high school lost its
first bid to retain the Mid-State
League basketball title when the
Monarchs dropped 80 to % dec
ision to Sunbury high, Saturday
night. 1t was the locals second
straight loss, but once again the
Reserves upheld their share of the
evenings program, taking 81 to
8 victory from Sunbury seconds.
Sunbury proved a far classier
opponent than anyone had eX-
pected, and from the Wildcats
performance Saturday night, they
should be seriously regarded as
a contender for the Mid-State til
tie.
All seniors, the Sunbury team
has the polish and finesse which
comes only with experience. They
played a tight game defensively
and their smooth offense was
plenty tough for the locals to han
die.
Of coure, the MonarchS didn't
enhance against London a week
ago, the M. HIS. basketteers did
MT get much more than half that
number against Sunbury, and
nearly all of these were from a
considerable distance from the
bucket
Time after time, Marysville
passed up opportunities for good,
set shots close in, passing the ball
out to teammates instead of
pivoting to lay the ball in. When
it came to offensive rebound
work the locals just weren't in
the game most of the time. When
ever one of the Monarchs took a
shot, at least four, and sometimes
all five of the Sunbury team was
under the basket to retrieve the
ball, and only one or two Marys-
vile players were after it.
Only Jack Mcclure seemed to
be trying under the basket, and
The succeeded in collecting three
baskets on rebounds or sucker
shots the last half. Some of the
others played pretty fair floor
games, but were woefully lack
ing when it came to driving ir
for short shots.
On the defensive, Marysville
was much better, but there was
still some 1axness which costs
baskets at crucial times.
The affair started out like {
tight ball game, with things be-
ing a Stand-off the first quarter
That stanza ended with the score
tied at Tall, but Sunbury had al
ready thrown a scare into local
fans with their all-around play.
In the second stanza, it was

Monarchs. At one time in this
quarter, Marysville was almost

third period was more encourag-

10 to 6 and the third quarter end
ed with Sunbury in front only 25

points the last period, although
the Monarchs at one time were
within four points of tying the
score.

during the game, topped the Ma

The retired general who dashed
out at the Army's medieval caste
system came up today with his
own program to close the social gap
between officers and enlisted men.
H. c. Holdridge, who took OF his
brigadier generals uniform a year
ago after n years as an officer, sub
mitted his proposals to the House
Military Affairs Committee at its
request.
High on his 10-point list were
these two suggestions:
L. Glass all military personnel SIM
ply as soldiers with titles retained
for purposes of identification"
only.
2. Put officers and men in iden-
tical uniforms, leaving insignia of
ranks as the sole means of telling
them apart.
Gen. Holdridge, West Poitner
who lives here, directed his blast
at the Army earlier this week,
when he appeared before the COM
mittee to oppose compulsory mill
tary training In peacetime.
In his statement to the committee
today, Gen. Holdridge declared that
existing distinctions between Of
ficers and men result in two classes
in the Army-''a superior and an
inferior"
