M. H. WINS
THRILLGAME
AT DELAWARE
A 43 Victory Is
Second One-Pointer
In Less Than Week

AAA ACS6 u AA0AA WYNN
For the second time in less than
a week, Marysville high school
Monarchs came from behind in
the closing minutes to win bas-
ketball game when they turned
by Delaware high, A to 43, at
Delaware, Tuesday night. Like
wise the Monarch Reserves drop
ped their second one-point decis
ion in as many days when the
Delaware "B" team eked out 21
to 20 victory.
Marysville led by a small mar
gin most of the way, but in the
late minutes of the game, Della
ware pulled ahead, forcing the
Monarchs to come from behind
to win. Coach Warren Widner
was we'll pleased with the manner
in which his team performed,
both at Delaware and London
''It takes real spirit and fight
to come from behind the way
those boys did, especially aftel
losing the lead a few minute.
earlier" he declared. $50 many
teams give up when that happens
but these boys just don't know
what that means"
Tied at Half Time
The way things started out, i
appeared as if Marysville might
win by a comfortable margin, af-
ter a hard battle. The first quart
er ended with the Monarchs in
front, II to 8. But Delaware raj
lied in the second period, and the
score at half-t time was tied at 49,
all.
AS the third quarter ended, the
Monarchs were holding a % to
27 lead as the ding-dong scrap
continued. The final period was
really fast and furious, as each
team tailed 16 points. The lead
changed hands several times, and
with only 20 seconds left Della
ware was in front Al to 40.
Kingsmore Brings Lead
At this juncture, Jerry Kings
more, who Saved the day" at
London last week with three
free throws in the closing Sec
onds, tailed a field goal from his
pivot position to send the Mon
archs into AZ to Al lead. Then
Dean Scheiderer, the locals long
shot artist, dropped in fielder
to give Marysville A to Al lead
But the game was still not over.
After Scheiderer made his basket,
Bell of Delaware was fouled and
sank the free throw to make it Al
to AZ. Almost Immediately there
after, he was fouled again., and
this time had two free throws to
shoot after the regulation time
ended. He missed his first try,
but made the second to end the
game at A to 43. Had Bell tailed
that first one, the game would
have gone into an overtime per-
iod.
Rogers Play Outstanding
While Scheiderer and Mcclure
with IL points each, and Kings
more with IL, were the heavy
scorers for Marysville, one of the
games stand-out performances
turned in by Nanny Rogers. That
worthy did a beautiful job in re-
trieving the ball off the bank
board for his team, and was even
more efficient at feeding the leat-
her to his mates who did the act
ual scoring. Without Rogers eff
forts, the game might well have
been another story.
Others on the Monarch lineup
however, turned in excellent floor
games, too, and Widner was high
ly satisfied with the whole affair.
Particular note should also be
made of the Monarch defense, a
strong point all season but espec-
tally good Tuesday. The Senators
got just 80 shots all evening, a
very low number in this day of
high-speed basketball. Of the tot
al tries, Delaware got only IL,
while Malysville Gagged l8 field
goals. 1t was free throws which
kept Delaware in the game
throughout, the Senators getting
19 of Is tries while the Monarchs
sank only eight charity tosses out
of Is tries.
Last Foul Disputed
In the preliminary bout, the
two teams were neck-and-neck
all the way, with the lead chang
ing hands constantly. AS the time
ran out, Bud White, who was high
scorer with IL points, was fouled,
and it appeared as if the young
Monarchs might have chance to
tie or win. But the Delaware
me-keeper said the game had
ended before the foul was called,
so it ended with Delaware 81
20 winner.
