tie, if at all, Friday.
Otherwise Marysville has been
shaping up very well. Their two
non-letterman backs, John Evans
and Bob Paterson, have looked
very good thus far and the line
has been able to hold their op-
ponentS to a total of two touch
downs in three games. The show
ing of the entire team has been
better than most of their follow
Ts expected in preseason eSti-
mates.
The Redwood team has been
bothered by lack of depth,
weight, and experience. Although
lacking weight, the Tiger for-
ward wall is fast and loaded with
lettermen. There is very little in
reserve behind them though
Their ends, Shields and Speyers,
are fast and smart and both are
good pass receivers. The center
of the line is light but able.
Two Letterman in Backfield
At wingback is Bobby Welch,
one of the lettermen in the back
field. He is fast and fits into the
position well. Stanley Rush will
be at tailback in the new single
wing. He is an able passer and is
big but he lacks breakaway
speed, as does the entire back
field. Austin or Debolt will be at
fullback.
DeBolt is the other letterman
but he did not report for prac-

Lost Ldrnb Pool Sees
Best QudlitY Yet:
$3.50 il Top Price

Union County had ASS head of
lambs consigned to the lamb pool
last Thursday. Top price paid for
double blue grade was $3.50;
S24.5O for single blues; S23. for
red grade of lambs; S22 for the
yellows; and S2O5O for greens.
All of the green graded lambs
were sold back to farmers who
will tame them back to add more
finish. Those lambs will then be
sold through the pool again in
about eight to 10 weeks.
The quality was much better
than any previous pool this fall.
Our more experienced flock own
ers are picking their lambs and
selling them in different lots,
therefore receiving the maximum
return for their sheep. The thin
ner lambs will do much better
after the good lambs have been
taken out of the flock
Next lamb pool VIII be held
on Thursday, Oct. l3 and again,
flockowners are encouraged to
use the inspection service which
is furnished to help farmers Sc
lect which lambs are ready for
market This free service can be
obtained by contracting the Agri-

Marysville, Richwoodto Stage Yearly
County Championship Game Friday

Marysville's Monarchs will be
after their third win in four
starts when they invade Rich
wood Friday night to tangle with
the twice-beaten Redwood Tig-
erS.
Marysville holds a 34-6 win
over Mechanicsburg, 1877 over
Bellefontaine, and score
less tie with Worthington in
three games. BY way of compari-
son, Redwood has lost to Wes-

without too much trouble but
this is one of those contests where
season records don't mean a
great deal.
Monsrchs Won Last Year
Last year Marysville overpow-
cred Redwood ZIG, although
the winners were completely out
gained. In this contest Chippy
Chapman gained III yards for
the Tigers in three quarters be-
fore he was injured. Redwood
went on from there to equal
Marysville's season record of
four wins.
In 1947 Marysville came up
with two last-half touchdowns
and two extra points to win
14-12 over a fine Redwood
team. This game is typical of the
battles staged when these two
teams meet. In 1916 Marysville
blasted the Tigers 1910 and in
1945 it was by the same score,
1910, that the locals won. That
makes four consecutive wins for
Marysville in the series.
Last time the County seat lads
suffered defeat from the Tigers
was in 1914, when one of the
greatest football teams ever to
come out of the north-end COM
munity overwhelmed Marys-
vile 28-0

Commissioners
Approve Radar
Unit for County
Sheriff to Conduct
Educational Campaign
When Equipment Comes

Union County Commissioners
have approved the purchase of
a new radar speed control unit
for use by the County Sheriffs
Department and all police with
in the county.
The unit will be purchased
from a Columbus firm instead of
from the company that originally
demonstrated it here. The Con-
necticut company's price was
$4,000 for the unit and a required
educational" program while the
Columbus firm asked only the
actual cost of the machine, $3.50.
The educational program will be
carried on by local officials and
organizations.
The machine will be paid for
from county funds and donations
will be taken up by local or
ganizationS to make up for the
cost of the unit 1t will be paid
for by the people of the county
and will be used in any part of
the county where needed.
Two Weeks Introduction
Sheriff Walter T. Galloway in
tends to give the unit two
weeks introduction in which no
charges will be filed against the
clocked speededs instead they
will be stopped, told of their Of
fense, and an explanation made
on how they were caught and
how the machine works.
After this period of introduc-
ton, the violators will be pro-
secuted. In other counties where
the unit is in use the record of
convictions is as high as 95 per
cent. When drivers become aware
of the machine and its effect
iveness the amount of speeding
is reduced and the highways
automatically become safer, it
is claimed.
Warning signs will be placed
on all main highways entering
the county and that will do away
with any speed trap" accusa-
tions, it is declared. The unit
will be used as any point needed
and would be moved without
warning.
Such system would tend to
cut down on the average speed in
all parts of the county" the Sher-
iff believes. 1t would be espec-
tally useful when large crowds
are passing through, such as to
football game in Columbus or
other important event"
Check School Zones
Also, if any complaints are re-
ceived on cars going too fast
in the area near the county'S
public schools, the radar set can
be taken there and it is probable
that after a few drivers have
felt the sting of a speeding fine,
the school signs will become more
respected
When this device is put into
use in Union County, probably
within few weeks, it will make
another step forward in the pro-
lection of property and lives in
traffic.
There has been marked in
crease in traffic accidents here
over last year and this unit
should certainly bring this to a
STOP" the Sheriff added.

NewLicense RuIesDue
For Z Agency Groups

Changes in the regulations
governing private detective and
sitting agencies are contem-
plated by District authorities,
Chatham T. Nottingham, super
intendent of licenses, announced
today.
Mr.. Nottingham believed there
should be a tightening of the regu-
lations to include all employees OF
the agencies. At present. only the
heads of detective and baby
sitting agencies are investigated
as to character.
Each agency pays a license fee
of 500 a year and must post a
bond of $1,000.
The proposed regulations will
not affect the large group of high
school girls who now act as baby
sitters on occasions because their
fees are not split with an agency,
1t was said.
The regulations. if agreed upon
by District officials, probably will
not go into effect until next No
vember, the beginning of the
license year.
