was a bit better than the week
before, but the timing was off.
There were several instances
w h n Mechanicsburg seemed
touchdown bound, and the end of
the first half in all probability
prevented one Burg score.
Other times, the Indians were
thWarted in their touchdown as
pirations by determined goal-line
stands of the Monarchs. Once, the
Burg got to the Marysville 10
yard line and another, to the 4
yard stripe, only to have the
locals Stiffen and hold them for
downs. These determined last
ditch stands of Marysville were
the brightest spots in the entire.
game for the Monarchs.

Mechanicsburg won the toss
and chose to receive. The first
play of the game, Welch reeled
off a l7-yard gain, but the In
dians could go no further and
pllnted, the ball going dead on the

Wooden Hangers

Wooden or plastic hangers for
clothes are better than wire or card
board hangers. Metal hangers may
rust and stain your clothes, and
cardboard hangers often become
limp. To prevent rust and stains
on garments, remove all pins and
metal ornaments from clothes that
you hang UP.

Missed Christmas.
I didn't get back in time for
Christmas. In fact it was late
March when I passed through Dallas
again. Mr.. Fogelson asked me if I
had spent pleasant New Year. I
told him no, that Ia been so busy
with the Rose Bowl game that New
year passed almost unnoticed. He
fixed that right up. He called two
of his old friends, Dick Andrade
and Roland Bond, and asking them If
they would mind celebrating New
year in March. Both Roland and
Dick thought 1t was what the Rover
boys always referred to as a capital
idea.
So, on March IA New Year came
to Dallas once again and was such
success that it was nigh onto
