'SHOOTIN' EYE
OFF. Nj. H. S.
DROPS FIRST
Outplay London Throughout,
But Dame Fortune Frowns
On Monarchs' Attempts

Inability to hit the basket cost
Marysville high schools Mon
archs their first basketball game
of the season as they dropped a
27 to 20 decision to London, Fri
day evening, in the local gymnas-
ium. Marysville Reserves, how
ever, won the preliminary tilt by
a comfortable 35 to 81 margin.
Even though the score might
n d C tie otherwise, MarysVille
was a better team than London
in every department of play. In
fact, the Monarch's performance
stamps them as one of the most
promising basketball o m b n es
the local school has had in long
time.
That basket shooting business
was just one of those things.
Marysville got nearly twice as
many shots as did London. Fifty
eight times, by actual count, Mar
ysville tried to put that ball
through the hoop, and only five
times did they succeed. Yet of the
eight or 10 were of the ''hope and
SO shots attempted, not more than
pray" variety; in other words,
practically every shot was taken
with the reasonable expectancy
that it should 60 IL.
London Gets Fewer Shots
London, on the other hand
was able to get only "a shots at
the basket, and a large number of
them were of the wild variety
which go in only by pure luck.
But luck was with the Raiders, as
eight of their shots swished
through the nets.
Neither team was proficient
from the throw line, Marys-
vile getting only 10 of l3 tries,
while London got ii of "a.
In general floor work, Marys-
vile played an excellent game for
the seasons first. There were
very few bad passes or instances
of needlessly throwing the ball
away. The Monarchs set up their
plays we'll, and were highly sue
cessful at working the ball in for
sucker shots, or into the open for
set shots from further out.
Defense Is Best
Probably their strongest point,
however, was the Monarchs' de-
fensive play, a feature of basket
ball seldom seen in these days of
race-horse performances. At no
time was London able to drive in
for set shots or sucker shots, Mar
ysville keeping the Raiders at
safe distance at all times.
Had it not been for failure of
the ball to drop the right direct
ion, Marysville would have won
by substantial margin. "Alibi',
one might say, yet that is exactly
the way the game stacked up.
Following the contest, Coach
Warren Widner declared he was
highly pleased" with his team,
and is far more confident of the
seasons outcome than he was
earlier in the week
While every boy who saw ser
vice turned in an excellent per-
formance, and there was little to
criticize on the part of any of
them, special mention must be
made of Johnny Dayton under
the bankboards. Although only
playing his first Var

County Home ouperlntendant's
public reply to the report of
Board of Visitors of Union County
on their visit at Home as of Nov.
Z, 1916 and published in both local
papers as of today; as the first
paragraph states, a sharp, critical
report.
The report was signed by one
member of the Board who was not
present on the inspection tour;
how did he know the conditions
which they state existed at the
Home when he was not even in
the party? Yet he signs his name

and leads around the front of the
building, also to the rear of the

saw were not uprooting the lawn
and causing much damage to the
right side of the yard. They were
in the hog lot. If any resident cares
they are perfectly welcome to in
spect the yard, as they now call it,
and see for themselves if it has
been uprooted by pigs. The sever
al spots in the lawn which are
claimed by the Committee to be
uprooted happen to be spaded-up

flowers the past spring and sum-
mer; which they claim, or recon-
mend, in a following paragraph
should be made in the spring into
flower gardens for thoes who care
to, to work in. The past season
there had been at least ten flower
plots in the Homes flower garden
and lawn. Sorry we haven't help
