Boy Scouts Enjoying Biggest Year
OF Activities; Advancement Heavy

/ Forge, Pa, last summer. Union
district went over its goal 100
percent. This was the best record
in the entire Central Ohio Area
Council, comprising the nine
counties in central Ohio.
For the first time, Union dis

10000 acres of beautiful noun

Great Rookie mountains. Twen-
ty-six scouts of explorer age
have received applications for a
trip to this great camp next sum-
mer.
Union district showed a sub
Stantial increase in attendance at
Camp Lazarus during the sum-
mer camping season. In addition
to this, two weekend camporees
have been held. This is the FIRST
time that Union district has ever
had its own camporee.
This district was also repre-
sented at the explorer air en-

affair as guests of the U. S. Army
Air Force.
AS of October %, the advance
ment in the district had already
passed that for the entire period
of 1949. There have been more
advancements in rank and more

the Chamber of Commerce and
the many persons in town who
have donated to the special

ated figures, the old overhead
strands of colored street lights
have been taken down. They will

post to post.
These decorations will be put
up about Dec. l, Joe Lentz, gen
eral chairman, said.
They are permanent in ma
ture and can be used over and

of Commerce officials. After the
holiday season, they will be
carefully stored away until the

Monarchs Trim Be|Iefontaine
N-13 to Start New String

/ Playing one of their better
games of the season, Marysville
high school football team return
ed to its victorious ways by de-
feating Bellefontaine high Chief
tans, Alb, at Bellefontaine, last
Thursday.
Superior speed in the backfield
and superior line play were prin-
cipally responsible for the Mon
arch victory. The outcome was
never too much in doubt, even
when Bellefontaine led momen-
tarily TO in the second quarter.
The Monarchs tailed one
touchdown in each of the four
quarter while Bellefontaine
pushed over scores in the second
and fourth stanzas.
Whole Team Plays Well
Extensively every Marysville
player who saw action turned in
an excellent account of them
selves. They all played good de-
fensive games, as well, although
the defensive work of ends
Charles McCracken and Jimmy
Dayton (who plays quarterback
on offenSe and end on defense)
and Gene Wood, as line backer,
was particularly good.
Blocking by the Monarchs was
all that could be asked for by any
coach, and so was the tackling
most of the time. But there were
times when this department of
play was a bit shaky, especially
when the ball carrier was Bill
Barlow. That worthy was fast,
husky and a hard runner, and
plenty hard to stop. He was cas-
lily the outstanding player for
the Chieftans.
Marysville's Buddy Hoffman
had himself a great night as ne
personally scored three touch
downs and passed to team-mate
John Evans for the fourth. He also
played his usual outstanding
game on defense and went for
several long gains in addition to
his touchdown runs.
tumble Sets Up Score
The first highlight of the game
came in the opening minutes, af-
ter an exchange of punts. The
ChieftainS fumbled on about their
own 80, permitting the Monarchs
to take over and set up their
initial I'd, which came four plays
and two first downs, later. Dur
ing the first three plays, the Mon
archs pushed their hosts back to
their own five-yard line from
where Hoffman lunged across for !
the I'D. McCracken's kick failed
and the visitors led 60. !
The Chieftains staged their first |
threat in the fading minutes of |
the first period, but, in the early |

Counting of the votes will be
