MonarchS Back
In Form, Defeat
Redwood 52-36
Northenders No Match
In Mid-State Game;
Reserves Also Win

Functionlng like a Weu-olled
machine, Marysville High Schools
Monarchs swamped a fighting, but
outclaSsed Redwood High quin-
tet, 52-36, in the Marysville gym,
Friday evening.
Marysville Reserves found the
going a little tougher, however,
as they barely eked out 25-20I
victory in the Reserve game by
virtue of superior foul shooting.
In the Varsity game, the Mon
arrhS were the direct opposite of
the ragged game they had turned
in against Carey the week before.
Redwood played alert aggressive
ball all the way but the Tigers
were just no match for Marys-
ville's height and ball-handling
ability.
Team Victory
John Dayton, from the pivot
position, played one of his better
games for the Monarchs, as he
dumped in 13 points and used his
height to control both bankboards.
But he had excellent support from
his teammates, with Charley Nc
Cracken, Buddy Hoffman, Bill
Boyd and Johnny Evans playing
steady, top-flight ball most of the
way. 1t was essentially a team
victory.
For Redwood, Cheney was the
outstanding boy on the floor as
he garnered II points and played
an excellent floor game. He prov
ed hard man for the Monarchs
to cope with all evening. Harrison
and Chapman were also constant
threats on the offensive, while
Speyers and Shields played stea-
dy defensive games.
The affair started fast, with
Dayton getting Marysville'S first
basket less than three seconds af-
ter the opening tip-off. SpeyersI
quickly tied it up with neat lay
in shot for the Tigers, but Marys-
vile came right back to six moreI
points before the visitors could
again tally. The first period ended
with the Monarchs leading 1876. !
The second period continued on
much the same pattern, with
Marysville outscoring Redwood
lis and leaving the floor at the
half with a 23-l1 lead.
Big Third Quarter
1t was really in the third quart
er, however, that the Monarchs
really began to roll, as they piled
up l6 points in five minutes, and
at one time held a lead of AZ toI
16. The Monarchs got 2l points to
10 for the Tigers in that stanza
to make the three quarter count
44-2l.
Coach Widner began substitut-
ing freely before the third quarter
was UP, and in the final period,
Redwood outpointed Marysville
1873 to make the final score 52-36.
In the preliminary game,
Richwood's Reserves got eight
field goals to only six for the lit
tie Monarchs, but the Marysville
Reserves sank l3 of 20 free throws
against four out of l3 for their
10 rack UP five-point
win.
Marysville led 8-5 at the end OF
the first period, but Redwood was
in front 1915 at halftime. The
visiting Reserves went scorelessi
the third period, however, andl
Marysville went back into the
lead, 2O-16, as the quarter ended. |
Jim Dayton was high for the little
Monarchs with IL points, while

In Maryland Senate
Despite Opposition
By J. l. Michael
SpecioI Stor Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 9.-Sponsors
of a bill to settle the old Mary
land-Virginia quarrel over Po-
tomac River oyster prepared to-
day to bring the measure to the
Senate floor despite opposition
voiced by Charles County water
men.
The bill sponsored by Senators
Monroe. Goldstein, Bailey and
Phoebus would permit hand
dredging under the supervision of
"a three-member commission vest
ed with authority to close oyster
areas at any time.
Basic premise of the plan, orig
mated by Senator Monroe, is to
separate Potomac River conserva-
ton problems from those of
Chesapeake Bay.
Bill Assailed at Hearing.
Sharp criticism developed when
the Senate Chesapeake Bay and
Tributaries Committee held a
hearing on the bill yesterday.
A group of 20 watermen from
the Rockpoint-Cobb Island area
told the committee during a noisy
session that there are not enough
oysters in the river to warrant
hand-dredging and that what we
need is enforcement"
Bruce M. Wilmer of Popes
Creek. chief spokesman for the
group, remarked that John Wal
ter Smith Foster, chief inspector
of the Tidewater Fisheries Com
mission, is enforcing the law and
that Maryland now mas some
thing to look forward to" in the
way of an increased oyster supply.
Robert T. Barbour, La Plata at
torney. handed the committee two
petitions, one with five names for
and So against the measure. and
the other with So against.
Favors Amendment of Bill.
Mr.. Barbour explained that he
represented only a few of those
present and that he did not op-
pose the bill, but felt it should
be amended to provide for long
er open season.
He also proposed an amendment
which would stipulate that only
residents of Maryland or Virginia
be permitted to take oysters from
the river.
John E. Mayo. Colonial Beach
attorney representing organized
Virginia oystermen, said they had
suggested longer open season
at a meeting Monday night.
Senator Goldstein. presiding,
asked Mr.. Mayo and Mr.. Barbour
to submit all their suggested
amendments promptly.
