McElroy was held for no gain,
but n the next play, Chapman
ripped through off left tackle on
delayed buck which was the
Tigers most effective weapon all
evening, and raced 81 yards for a
touchdown. A pass play from
Cheney to Young for the extra
point was no good.
Once again, the Tigers kicked
off, Hill returning to the As. Huff
man lost yard, then a pass from
Mcclure, intended for Kings
more, was intercepted by Cheney
on the Redwood 40. He was
downed on the Marysville At
This time, Redwood could gain
only slightly and Chapman punt
ed to Hill on the is. He returned

MCGUIRE worked the ball out to
the Marysvilie 80, where Marys-
vile fumbled and Redwood re-
covered
Once again, Redwood was held
for downs, and Marysville took
over on their own 26 as a pass
failed to get the necessary yard
age And it was about this stage
of the game that the Monarchs
began to realize they could stop
Redwood if they would just set
tie down and do it, From this
point on, the Tigers never again
threatened seriously.
Starting from the Marysvilie
26, Hill gained IA yards for a
first down on the Marysville 40.
White picked up three more, then
MCGUIRE lost one. On the next
play, MCGUIRE tossed a long pass
to Hill on the opposite side of the
field. Hill caught the ball on the
Redwood 40, eluded several Rich
wood tacklers on the spot, picked
up couple of his teammates for
interference, then reversed his
field and outdistanced the Rich
wood safety man to score stand
ing up.
Loren Grimes then calmy
booted the ali-important extra
point and Redwood was leading
only 1877. Mcclure kicked-off
for Marysville, with Chapman re-
turning from the 30 to the Rich
wood 40, and the third quarter
ended.
Fourth Quarter
On the second play of the
fourth quarter, Chapman fumbled
and Dayton recovered on the
Redwood SO.
Hill picked up four yards,
Grimes lost a yard, a McGuire-to-
Dayton pass was incomplete, then
on the fourth down, Mcclure
passed to Hill on the Redwood

another, then it was Grimes for
two more. Again it was fourth
down and five to go, so again
Mcclure tossed one to Hill, who
caught the ball on the Redwood

spot.
Hill was held for no gain, White
gained to the Redwood 3, then
penalty set the Monarchs back
to the Tiger 8-yard stripe. Huff
man gained back the five, and
on fourth down, Hill drove his
way over the goal for Marys-
ville's second touchdown, the
strength of his own running car
rying several Redwood boys with
him.
Once again Grimes place-kick-
ed the extra point, a kick even
better than his first one had been.
Following the ensuing kickoff
Redwood could not gain and
punted to the Monarchs, Hill re-
turning the kick from the Mar
ysville 20 to the 44 When the
game ended four minutes later.
the Monarchs were again deep
in Redwood territory, Mcclure
going IA yards to the Redwood
81 on the final play of the game.

firing away next Friday morning
in the opening round of the Sixth
A Annual Duke-Durham Southern
High School Invitational Basketball
tournament, officials today map
ped final plans for the two-day af-
fair by making the pairings and
setting the starting times.
Taking into consideration that all
OF the eight q%uintets are bringing
excellent records into the tourney,
the officials decided 10 dispense
with, the usual procedure of seed
ing teams. Instead they put the
names Of all clubs into a hat and
drew out the pairings.
The two North Carolina and South
Carolina representatives ended up
in opposite brackets while the two
Virginia schools, CRANKY of Nor
folk and George Washington of
Alexandria, fell into the upper
bracket. These two schools meet
next week for the Virginia Glass
championship.
New Hanover High of Whining
ton, was the first team drawn and
landed at the top of the upper
bracket. Parker High of Green
vile, S. c., was given the second
spot in the upper bracket while
Patterson Park High of Baltimore,
Md, eand Greensboro, were the two
teams in the first draw for the
lover bracket.
After the first. four teams were
lined. up, the other teams were
drawn out to compete the pairings.
George Washington was matched
with Wilmington, CRANKY with
Parker, Greenville, S. c., Senior
High. with Patterson Park. and Cal

With apologies to all Will
