MONARCHS TOPLAY
AT CAREY TUESDAY

Marysville High basketball
team will open defense of its
Mid-State League crown Tuesday
evening at Carey. The game
should go a long way toward tip
ping off the kind of season the
Monarchs can expect, as Carey
is rated as one of the stronger
teams they will meet all yeaI
long.
The Blue Devils are headed by
e. 4" Wilbur Dennison, with
whom Marysville sports fans be-
came acquainted Ito their sor-
row during football season. Den
nison, a splendid, all-'round ath-
lete, played end on the Carey
football team and shared all-Mid-
State honors at that position with
the Monarchs's own Johnny Day.
ton.
Besides Dennison, Carey IS re-
ported to have several other boys
back from last years better than
average team and present high
scoring offense and tightly-woven
defense. With Dennison in there
the Blue Devils can match Marys-
vilIe's height, and their general
ability is said to be more on a
par with the Monarchs.
IT will be a tough one; make
no mistake about that.

to lack that little spark o1

terence between a winner and q
loser.
Best During Practice
So far, Watkins seems to have
played its best games during
practices, several of the boys de-
veloping stage fright" or its
equivalent during the regulation
game. As a result, the lads from
Millcreek township have all ready
taken it on the chin from Ostran

and Monroe, none of the latter
three being power houses.
Yet Watkins has eight letter.
men from last year on the 10
man Varsity squad. The letter
men, among whom Coach Wade
is still trying to find five boys
who can go consistently, are:
Bob Conklin, 6'112" junior who
is developing into scoring
threat. Although he lacks conf
dence in himself, he is showing
improvement.
Don Piersol, g. senior, has
plenty of fight and is a willing
lad. However, he has a heart all
ment that limits his participation.
Bob Adelsberger, $40" senior,
is very aggressive and Coach
Wadehas high hopes that he may
come through.
James Murphy, 5'1112" senior,
has so far not quite lived up to
expectations, but Coach Wade is
expecting him to produce this
year.
Carroll RauSch, ST. junior, is
another boy who seems to lack
confidence in himself. He is a
nice ball handler and a good shot,
and his scoring ability is sorely
needed by his team.
Tom Sweeney, 5'6" junior, is a
short boy who can develop into
great player. He has, however,
been slow developing SO far.
Francis Wade, 6'l" junior, has
possibilities. He has the size and
knowledge of the game land can
handle himself.
Laird Mack, g. senior, has
plenty of fight and is a good de-
fensive player.
Others On Squad
Others on the Varsity squad are
Dean Mack, 6'l" sophomore who
has all the physical characteris-
tics to become a great player, al
though at present is somewhat
slow and not aggressive enough;
and Glen Johnson, SO" Junior,
who is developing fast. He shows
lot of improvement and may be
a starter by Christmas.
Other boys on the squad com
prise the Reserve team and in
clude Paul Johnson, Brownie
Wade, Lowell Bell, Carl Webb,
James Maxwell, Lonnie Scheid-
erer, Donald Green, and Steve
Duncan, all freshmen and sopho-
mores. The Reserves have won
four out of 5 games so far, losing
only to Ostrander by three points,

MONARCHSS SHOW
PROMISE in WIN
OVERLONDON FIVE
Initial Basketball Tilt
Won by 4l-25 Margin:
Reserves Also Winners

Making full use of their super
ior height and controlling practi-.
cally every phase of the game,
Marysville High Schools Mon
archs won their first basketball
game of the season in convincing
fashion last Wednesday, handing
London high 41-25 walloping,
at London. In the preliminary
game, the Marysville Reserves
were equally impressive in win
ming 37-l7.
Both the conquests were large
ly team victories, with the Var
sity and Reserves alike perform
ing like we'll timed machines. In
neither game, did the Londoners
have a chance to cope with the
Marysville lads.
The Varsity game the first
half looked like it could develop
into the hotly contested game as
London employed an unusual l.
2-2 zone defense which the Mon
archs found difficult to penetrate
on the narrow London Armory
floor. But a pointer or two from
Coach Warren Widner between
halves was all that was needed,
and the second half was differ
ent story.
Big Third Quarter
After trailing 8-9 at the end of
the first period and leading only
1914 at half time, the Monarchs
roared back the third period to
outScore the Red Raiders, 17-8
and it was all over but the shout
ing. After the third quarter was
only few minutes old it was
simply a question of how high
Marysville's final score would be.
Of course, London contributed
to Marysville's third-quarter spree
by switching, for a few minutes,
to man-for-man type defense
in the hopes of keeping the tall
Marysville lads from working the
ball in where they could get re-
bound shots. This bit of strategy
/ back-fired on London as the
Monarchs took advantage of it to
work their cut-and- block plays
for fun. In a matter of minutes,
the Monarchs were leading 24-16
and the Raiders reverted to their
J l-2-2. But the damage was done
the Monarchs had tasted blood
and would not be denied.
With three and four boys on
the floor 6 feet tall or better,
Marysville was in complete COM
mand of the situation at all times
The Monarchs controlled both
bankboards, and it was a rare
occasion when London was able
to try rebound shot.
Scoring Well Divided
For the records, Jerry Kings
more was top scorer for the
Marysville team, with IL points
But actually, the scoring was
evenly divided as Jack Mcclure
tailed nine points and Harry
Evans and Art Streng got seven
each. Bill Wall added five more
and Johnny Dayton, two.
Defensively, Dayton was the
stand-out performer. He was
largely responsible for London's
lack of success on rebound shots,
coming down with the ball nearly
every time the Raiders shot, And
several times, Dayton broke up
London's attempted quick breaks
by intercepting the ball before
the Raiders could really get start
ed.
Others on the team also proved
strong defensive players, as well
as showing scoring ability and

Sprinkle on freshly ground pepper and pipe
around the edge with ribbon of cream
cheese, thined slightly with nayonaise.
Another way is to cut day-old bread into
one -eighth-inch thick Slices then into fancy
forms, saute in butter, spread with anchovy
paste, lobster butter, soft cheese or foie
gras, as you please, and top with thin slices
of smoked meat, garnishing with parsley
Here's one to try: Dip asparagus tips in
mayonnaise. wrap in slices of smoked tur-
key, fasten with toothpick.
When smoked turkey or chicken is to
be served whole and hot, do it this way:
Rub bird with unsalted fat Stuff with any
favorite dressing Place bird in roaster with
a cup of broth in bottom of pan and cover.
The broth, you'll find, helps keep the meat
moist. Roast 10 minutes per pound in 800
degrees F. oven. Use the liquid in the pan
= to make a smoke-tinged gravy Combine
with four tablespoons cornstarch mixed in
equal quantity of cold water. Add ne-half
teaspoonful poultry seasoning. Stir until
smoothly blended and light brown. If mush-
rooms are available. they will add favor.
But saute these first in bit of butter.
Smoked Turkey Casserole
l cup medium cream sauce
2 eggs, slightly beaten
tablespoon margarine
cup cubed smoked turkey
Cooked broccoli, asparagus or caulihower
Heat together sauce, eggs and margarine.
Arrange turkey. one-half cup, in the bottom
of creased baking dish. Add layer of
vegetables and layer of sauce Repeat.
Add remaining turkey; cover with crumbs;
bake in 35OoF. oven Is to 20 minutes
or until crumbs brown. Yield: portions.
