than half the first quarter gone.
On their touchdown march, the
Bellefontaine forces appeared in
vincible, and the Marysville line
men were continually set back on
their heels. 1t was Johns and Will
liams who did most of the leat-
her-lugging, and one l5-yard pen
atty for clipping failed to dismay
the Chieftan in the least. On the
first play after the penalty, which
set them back from the Marys-
vile 20 to the Marysville 35, Lin
kenhoker promptly made up the
entire yardage on an off-right
tackle slant.
The Monarchs took the ensuing
kickoff on their own 28-yard
line, and brought the ball back
out to mid-field before their at
tack begged down. But Marys-
vile was unable to get beyond
their opponents 49-yard line and
Grimes punted, Johns returning
for Bellefontaine from his Is to
36-yard line. Two plays later, the
quarter ended with the ball on
Bellefontaine's 45-yard line.
