penalty setback along the way.
But ON the 50-yard line, the Mon
archs fumbled and Mechanicsburg
recovered on the Marysville "A.
Welch ripped off another long
gain, but it was nullfied by pen
atty. The Indians were able later,
however, to get to Marysville's
"a, where the Monarchs held for
downs. Marysville was on the
move once again, and had the
ball near the mid-field when the
first quarter ended.
Second Quarter
After the second quarter start
ed, Marysville was unable to gain
through the line and two Nc
Guire to Dayton passes went in
complete Nc Guire was finally
forced to punt, the ball going
dead on the Indians 25.
Three plays later, however, a
pass by Meeks was intercepted
by Mcclure on the Burg AZ. Hill
gained to the A and Huffman
made it a first down on the In
dians' 35. Mcclure picked up
three yards, Huffman failed to
gain, and Bud White made it first
down again on Mechanicsburg's
%.
Hill gain two yards, then White
advanced to the Indians l3. From
this point, Hill slammed across
off tackle for the first score of
the game. Grimes attempted
place kick for the extra point was
no good.
MCGUIRE kicked off for Marys-
vile, with Davis returning for
the Indians from the 25 to their
Al. A Meeks to Gossett pass, the
Indians biggest threat through
out the game, made it first down
on Marysville's AS. Davis picked
up seven yards, and Meeks added
five more for a first on the Mon
arch 80. A Meeks to Davis pass
was incomplete, but a Davis to
Gossett pass was good for anoth-
er Mechanicsburg first down on
Marysville's Is, and here tfortun-
ately for Marysville, in all proba-
bilityD the half ended.
Third Quarter
Mechanicsburg kicked off to
Marysville to start the second
half, White returned 10 yards
from the Monarch 20. White gain
ed 10 yards, a Mcclure to Day
ton pass was incomplete, White
lost two yards, and the Monarchs
were forced to punt.
The kick, however, was blocked
by Mechanicsburg boy who
sneaked past McGuire's protect
ors and the Indians took over on
Marysville's %, probably their
best break of the whole game.
The threat was broken up a
few plays later, however, when
Hill intercepted one of Meeks'
passes on his own 8-yard line and
brought the ball back out to the
Marysville %. The Monarchs,
however, were unable to gain and
Mcclure punted, the ball going to
Welch on the Mechanicsburg 40.i
He returned to Marysville's AZ.
Another Meeks' pass was inter-
cepted, however, this time by
Mcclure, and the Monarchs took
over on their own 43.
On the first play, Huffman
streaked to the Mechanicsburg 40
and Hill went to the Indians 20
as the third quarter ended.
Fouth Quarter
AS the fourth period started,
Huffman picked up 10 yards more
and White put the ball on the
Indians four yard line. From
here, Hill ripped through the
Mechanicsburg line to score the
second touchdown of the game.
Once again, Grimes try for the
extra point was no good.
The Indians took the ball on
their own 81 on the kick off, and
started down field march which
threatened for a time to pay off.
With Meeks and Davis alternating
in carrying the ball, Mechanics
burg worked it all the way to
Marysville's 4-yard line in just
II plays. But here, the Monarchs
stiffened, held the Indians for
downs, and took possession of the
ball. This was Mechanicsburg's
last threat and the game ended
eight plays later with Marys-'
vile in possession of the ball on
their own 4l-yard line, where
they had worked it on a series of
short, but steady, gains by Hill
and White.
