Marysville l9 as the first quarter
ended.
Second Quarter
The Irish could not gain as the
second period started, three pass
es going incomplete, and Marys-
vile took over on downs on
their 25-yard line. Grimes gained
two, then Hill was thrown for a
2-yard loss. Mcclure passed Day
ton for a first down on the Mon
arch 46.
Hill gained two yards, then
| White fumbled and st. Mary re-
covered in mid-field, but a PEN
atty against the Irish for being
offsides nullified the play. Nc
CURE gained to the st. Mary A,
and then Grimes made it first
down on the St. Mary 80. Hill
added l9 yards on an off tackle
slant, then White and Grimes
were each held for no gain.
At this point, Mcclure passed
to Hill on the opposite side of
the field, and the latter scampered
about five yards to score stand
ing up. Once again, Grimes place
kick was high and straight be-
tween the uprights for the evtra
point, and Marysville was leading
l4-0. A Monarch victory seemed
as certain as had a Monarch de-
feat at half-time at Redwood the
week previous.
But the half still had six min
utes to go. st. Mary took Marys-
ville's kickoff on their own 20
yard line, with Schuler bringing
the ball back out to the Irish A..
Here, Schuler, Stuber and Bal
dauf combined their talents, with
couple of passes thrown in for
good measure, to go all the way
to the Marysville one-yard line
before the Monarch defense stiff
fened sufficiently to hlod them
for downs.
Then came the unfortunate
! (from the Marysville sta1d-point)
last-second play, described above,
which donated st. Mary their
first touchdown, and the half
ended with the score AT.
Third Quarter
Starting the second half, Marys-
vile kicked off to st. Mary, Ma
lone taking the ball for the Irish
on, their 80 and returning it to
the os. Schuler gained six yards,
] then Baldauf fumbled but Malon-
ey recovered for a St. Mary first
down on the Marysville 48.
Stuber gained three, Schuler
added six more, then he made it
first down on the Monarch 81
From this point, Schuler passed
to Ed. Maloney, who caught the
ball behind the Marysville goal
line for the second st. Mary score
of the game. Werley attempted
10 place-kick the extra point, but
Hill came charging in hard and
fast to block the kick, and Marys-
vile was still leading, 14-13.
ST. Mary kicked-off with Nc
CURE taking the ball to the 10
and returning to the 81. White
went for eight yards, then made
it a first down on the Marysville
43. On the next play, however,
White fumbled and Stuber re-
covered for ST. Mary on the
Marysville As.
This tumble set up St. Mary's
third touchdown A pass, Baldauf
to Schuler, gained two yards.
Murphy gained six, then Baldauf
went for two more. Schuler made
it a first down on the Monarch
81 on a power play through CEN
ter. Stuber circled end and scamp
cred for another first down on
the Marysville 19, and it was on
this play that he received his
broken collar bone.
Schuler gained four, Baldauf
one, and then Schuler smashed
through center for first down
on the Marysville five. Two pass
es were incomplete and Schuler
could gain only a yard through
center. But on fourth down, St.
Mary executed a perfect screen
pass, Baldauf, to |Schuler, who
caught the ball behind the Marys-
vile goal for the winning touch
down. Werley tried to drop kick
for the extra point but the ball
was way, way wide and short.
Werley kicked off for ST. Mary
White returning the ball from
