Monarchs Down
ST. MarYs For
Third League Win
Marysville Continues
Improved Form In
1914 Triumph Thursday

Marysville High Schools bas-
ketball team turned in its best
defensive game of the season on
Thusrday as they downed Marion
ST. Marys, 1914.
The Monarchs really put the
lid on the Irish offense as they
held them to four points in the
first period, three in the second,
one in the third and six in the
fourth. Bill Boyd turned in an
outstanding performance as he
held Bill Merchant, Marion's top
threat, to a grand total of three
points.
The st. Mary's team lacked
definite offensive pattern and fol-
lowed a" shoot and run" type of
play Marysville employed a
double pivot offense again with
good results.
Grimes was the leading scorer
for Marsyville with nine points.
Boyd and Hoffman followed with
six each. All season long the Mon
archs have displayed the fact that
they are not dependent on any
single individual when it comes
to getting points. In five games,
three different boys have had the
scoring honors.
Coach Warren Widner said he
was we'll satisfied with the Mon
arhcs showing. He indicated that
he was especially pleased with
their defensive play for, although
the Irish have had only a $3.50
record to date they have been
scoring a good many points.
This was the third Mid-State
League win for Marysville and
leaves only Mt Gilead unbeaten
by the locals The Monarchs have
looked impressive in their three
League wins to date, but the
Wildcats have been picked by
many to take the championship.
Marysville and Mt. Gilead will
meet for the first time here Jan.
IA.
The Marysville Reserves took
a 1922 win over the st. Mary's
Reserves in the preliminary con-
test. Hendricks was the high scor-
er for Marysville with IL points.
Rizzo topped the Irish scoring
in both the Varsity and Reserve
games, getting four for the Var
sity and seven with the Reserves.
The Monarchs face really Sc
we're test this Tuesday evening
when the strong Delaware Willis
Panthers come here for the final
game before Christmas. Delaware,
not particularly strong the past
few seasons, is on the upgrade
again this year, with tall, ex-
perienced team and has ilade
plenty of trouble for its opponents
to date.
