Monarchs Upset
WeSterville, 1918
Tn Last Game
M.H.S. Offensive Hits
Seasons Best Friday
For Fourth Victory

Marysville Highs Monarchs
finished the season Friday with
a rather surprising 1919 victory
over Westerville. 1t was one of
the best offensive performances
of the season for the Monarchs
they broke a 1919 tie at half
time with two last period touch
downs to win going away.
Curly Hill scored all of the
three first-half touchdowns on
shortline plunges and Hoffman
added the last two in the same
manner.
Westerville scored the first
three times they had possession
of the ball. Dick Smith, tailback
in the Wildcats single wing Of
fense was their outstanding man.
He ran passed and caught passes
all evening, but even this per-
formance was not enough in the
the powerful Marysville ground
attack.
Scored After Kickoff
Marysville marched rs yards
in IA plays to score after the
opening kickoff, but a AZ yard
run by Smith a few minutes
later tied the game up 6-6. Hoff-
man returned Walkers kickoff
to the 36 and seven plays and
four first downs later Hill crashed
over from the one and Marysville
led 1876 as Grimes kicked the
extra point. On the first play
after Grimes kickoff, Yantis,
Wildcat fullback broke away for
AZ yards before he was stopped
on the Monarch 25 yard line.
Moore went 20 yards to the five
and Smith scored. Chaplain place
kicked the extra point and the
score was tied 1913. All this in
the first period!
More Scoring In Second
The second quarter saw Wes-
terville> take the lead again. A
lpeut midway in the period,
Grimes punted out of bounds on
the Wildcat 40. Freeman scored
nine plays later on fourth down
from the Marysville Q yard line.

w Westerville Tilt
Season S Finale

The 1943 football season is over
as far as Marysville High School
is concerned and now we can stop
and look back over the nine-game
campaign. This was the final year
of competition for the 8 SEMI OH
the squad. They are:
John Dayton, left end; John
Schwartzkopf, left tackle; Dick
Baldwin, left guard: Bill Palmer,
center; Ted Amrine, right guard;
and Harold Hill, left halfback, all
regular starters; and Dick Croy,
Bob Conrad, and Don Asman, sub
tackle, right halfback, and end,
respectively. Croy and Conrad
started several games.
AS may be noticed, the entire
left side of the line will be riddled
by graduation and Coach Paul
Wenzel will have next years
work cut out for him. The back
tfield does not appear to be too
much of a problem with Hoffman,
iWorthington, Boyd, Evans, Hill.
and Patterson all returning.
The Monarch's played some
good and some very bad foot bal
during the season. Probably their
best nights were against Marion
st. Mary, Redwood, and Wester-
vile. The 42-6 victory over
Mechanicsburg looks more inn
preSsive in view of the Indians
later season shoWings against
London, Westerville, and Urbana.
Marysville was also the victim
of two upsets. London pounced on
the Monarchs 1877 and an under
dog Mt. Gilead outfit beat them
in a 26-25 thriller. No team was
able to hold down the fast. hard
running Monarch backs and only
Worthington held them scoreless

Speaker Sees Less Demand for Grain
From u. S. Farms for Use in Europe

Demand for grain crops from
the American farmer will be con-
siderably less this year, Walter
Berger told members of the I'm
ion County Farm Bureau during
their annual meeting, last week.
During the session, the group
elected five new Board members,
a delegate to the annual Ohio
Farm Bureau meeting, and a
dopted sixteen resolutions per
tanning to farm problems besides
enjoying a well-rounded program
and refreshments.
Directors elected were Gerald
o. Fogle, Taylor Township, from
District /; Mrs. Robert Mather,
Claibourne Township, and Ber-
nard Gray, Leesburg Township
(the latter to replace Jesse Ro-
berts, resigne0, and Kelton A.
McKitrick, erome Township
from District 4.
Dewitt is Delegate
Lee Dewitt, Paris Township,
was elected delegate to the an
nual Ohio Farm Bureau meet
ing in Columbus, Nov. 20 and 80
and Dec. l.. Others elected in
previous years who are also dele
gates are Harold Bishop, Allen
Township; and Melvin Kennedy,
Taylor Township,
In predicting less demand for
grain crops from American Farm
ers for Europe, Mr.. Berger cited
these circumstances, as observed
by him personally on recent
tour of Europe:
Number of dairy cattle in Eu-
rope is rs percent of pre-war
figures; hogs, 90 percent; and
poultry, 30 percent. On top of
this, Europe has had the largest
grain crops in 20 years, this sea-
son.
1t is expected by Mr.. Berger
that Marshall Plan european Re-
covery Program will not be spent
in the United States for grain
but for clothing and home equip
ment.
Recovery is Different
Vast differences in post wal
recovery between the several
countries of Europe was noted
by Mr. Berger.
Belgium, he said has made the
greatest come back. The Congo
has been an asset to Belgium

State to Erect
Garage to House
Guard Equipment
Solons Discuss It
During Regular Meeting
Last Thursday Evening

The matter of the proposed ga
rage to be erected by the state for
the National Guard Anti Tank
Company was brought before the
Village Council at its meeting
Thursday night. !
Captain James Simpson, of the
local Anti-Tank Company, came
before the Council in regard to
the garage project. The State has
agreed to build the garage if the
Village would furnish the site.
Captain Simpson stated that the
money is now available but no
building site has as yet been
found. The ground in the rear of
the armory is not large enough
and no other city-owned land is
available. The County Commits
Sioners are to be contacted on the
possibility of obtaining some
ground from them on North
Maple street. The matter is to be
Investigated.
Councilman Richard Hervey re-
ported that the catch basin on
North Main street has been re-
paired.
w. R. Huffman, chairman of
the fire, property and police COM
mittee, reported that he has re-
ceived the statement on the cost
of installing larger tires on the
fire truck in place of the 7:50x20
tires now in use. The new-tires
will have snow treads on them
and will cost Sl90 However the
trade-in value of the tires now
on the truck will reduce the cost
to S98. Dale Overly moved that
the fire,property and police COM
mittee be given full power to act
on the matter. The motion was
seconded by c. P. Wagner and
carried.
Chairman Dale Overly of the
finance committee read bills
totaling $1,783.29. Of this total
S399.9O was for the city payroll
and the bill from the Ohio Water
Service Company was for S292.78.
Councilman Wagner moved to ac-
cept the bills and William Wag-
ner seconded. The motion was
carried.
The next meeting of the Coun-
Gil will be on Tuesday, Nov. %,
due to Thanksgiving week.

Westlake Family
To be on Radio

Life on a typical Ohio farm
will be dramatized on the "Ohio
Story" program Wednesday eve
ming. This program is a part Of
the regular "Ohio Story" series
heard at $50 p. m. each Monday,
Wednesday and Friday on WBNS.
The locale of the story is the
farm of Sam Westlake near
Marysville. Recently Mr.. West
lake and his family were elected
by the farmers of Ohio as "Ohio's
Most Typical Farm Family" This
was quite an honor, since there
are more than 100000 farmers in
the state and Sam Westlake is
considered as representative of
their best qualities.
The story will tell how Mr..
Westlake got started on his agri-
cultural career, hiring out to
other farmers for Csc a day.
Other episodes in the broadcast
will relate how he began farming
on shares and eventually got to
the point where he owned the en-
tire farm.
His problems, from the loss of
large crops to the question of
whether it would rain during the
next few hours, will be brought
out to illustrate the daily life of
Ohio farmers who work $4,000
acres of our state every year.
Besides WBNS, the program
will also be heard on WTAM
WHKK, WHBC, WHO, WHOA,
WSTV, WSPD and WHIZ.
