bring its winter season to a close
with concerts tomorrow and Tues
day nights in Constitution Hall with
Robert Casadesus as soloist tomor-
row and Salvatore Baccaloni on
Tuesday. Mr.. Baccaloni, basso-
buffo of the Metropolitan Opera, has
revived the comedy art which played
such an important part In grand
opera Of the earlier periods. There
are few basso-buffos of renown to-
day and none that in appearance
and infectious humor can fill the
part so well as does Baccaloni.
The Casadesus family has been
Identified with the French music
world for four generations. most of
them being pianists like the soloist
of Tuesdays concert. Nine. Casa
desus, the former Gaby L'Hote, is
a fine pianist in her own right and
has played many two-piano pro-
grams with her husband. Their
son Jean, now student at Prince
ton, is following the same path.
Winner Of the Philadelphia Orches-
ira youth additions, he recently ap-
peared as guest soloist with the
orchestra, thus representing the
fifth generation Of pianists in the
family.
Together with the Mozart "Con-
certo in A Major" Mr.. Casadesus
will play Ravel's Concerto for the
Left Hand" which the composer
wrote for Paul Wittgenstein, Aus
trian pianist, who lost his right
arm in the First World War. Rayel
was a close friend Of Casadesus
during his lifetime and the artist

original version. Wittgenstein found
it too difficult and made his own
arrangements of 1t.

Fish, Come Club
y Offers Signs
To Post Fields

Alarmed by the dwindling
supply of game in Ohio, the Heart
of~Ohio Fish & Game Association
of Marysville has taken steps to
cooperate with farmers in an
action which, it is hoped, may
save brood stock for future sup
plies of wild-life.
The Club has obtained signs,
to be distributed free of charge to
any farmers desiring them, which
read:
This field is reserved to save
wildlife brood stock for the
future, in cooperation with the
Heart of Ohio Fish & Game
Association"
Any farmers who wish to help
protect wild-life in the county by
posting their fields may obtain
them through William H. Faulk-
ner, president of the Association
or DR.. F. c. Galloway, its secre-
tary.
At the same time, members o1
the Sportsmen's Club expressed
the hope that great many far
mers will make use of the signs
and that hunters will observe
their appeal by remaining out OF
fields thus posted.

MONARCHS LOSE
SEASONS FINALE
TO WESTERVILLE
DrY-Towners Have Best
Team Here This Fall;
Final Score is 800

Marysville high school ran up
against it toughest opponent of
the entire season, Friday night,
and took 800 beating at the
hands of Westerville in the
seasons finale for b o tn teams.
The game was played on the rain
soaked, wind-swept Marysville
Memorial athletic field before
approximately 600 brave but
chilled fans.
One short paragraph can best
sum up the game itself:
The Westerville school, with 20
seniors on the squad, has been
building its team for three years,
AS a result, the Wildcats per-
formance was near perfect and
Marysville's less experienced
team was hopelessly outclassed.
Even so, the Monarchs turned
in one of their best performances
of the season. Outweighed and
slower than their foe, Marysville
fought valiantly from start to
finish and actually looked better
much of the time than they did
in previous games.
Used Notre Dame Shift
The smooth perfection Of the
Westerville team was a pleasure
to watch, even to Marysville fans
The Dry-towners have just about
everything it takes for cracker
jack good team: speed. weight
timing and flawless execution OF
plays.
Operating from the Notre Dame
shift, real rarity in this day OF
T-formation football, the Wester-
vile team rolled up yard after
yard. Their speedy backs, broken
into the clear behind 4-and 5-mar
interference, swept the Marysville
ends for the fun of it. Through
the center of the line, Westerville
power could not be stopped.
The results we're four touch
downs-one each quarter; foul
points-a t e r-t ~ c h d own or

Westerville try to kick an extra
point; and one safety as the
Wildcats broke through the
Marysville line to trap Jack MC
Guire back of the Monarch goa
as he tried to pass late In the
fourth period.
And yet, potent as the Wild
cats attack was, the Marysville
team stopped them for no gain
surprising number of times, tri-
butte to the dead-earnestness in
which the locals were trying. But
for everytime Westerville was
held for no gain, the next play
they were apt to break lose fol
