Marysville's Monar hs will
wind up their regular season cage
schedule Friday night when they
meet class "A" Bellefontaine on
the local floor. Coach Warren
Widner's cagers will be after
their 18th win in a row and their
18th in 20 starts.
Bellefontaine, with a none-to-
impressive record of five wins
and eight defeats, will be a
worthy foe as they have met all
top-flight competition this sea-
son. The ChieftainS finished in a
tie for third place in the Western
Buckeye League with a 3-3 rec
ord. Outside the league they won
from OSSO and Urbana, while
dropping five encounters.
In league play, they won from
Wapakoneta, Van Vert, and st.
Marys, while losing to Celina,
Bluffton, and Kenton. Their lead
ing scorer is Ralph Cooper who
has 156 points in l3 games. Along
with Cooper at forward will be
Tullis.
Ft.. 6 In. Center
At center is a six foot, six inch
boy named Harvey Harvey is not
as great scoring threat as Jack
McKinnie of Delaware or Tom
Bopeley of London, but his size
alone makes him dangerous. In
the last game with Chaminade,
Don Shumard, Eagle center,
scored 10 baskets against Harvey,
as the Dayton team downed the
Logan Countians 47-42.
At the guard posts will be
Foughty, a left handler, and Ram
bo with Abraham being the only
substitute to be used to any eX-
tent.
The Monarchs have not played
any teams which faced the
ChieftainS this year so there can
be no way of comparing strength.
The won and lost record is no
indication as Bellefontaine has
played some of the best of the
southwest district.
Victorious on Home Court
Marysville has not lost a game
on their home floor since Plain
City turned the trick in Decem-

put in four lay-in shots to ac-
count for eight of their IL points.
Jim Harrison scored nine points
to pace the Tigers scoring and
Chuck Shields, Houlz, and Tinch
followed with eight each. This
was the first time this season
that both Harrison and Shields
have been held to less than 10
points in one game.
Vernon Bright scored nine for
Union and played an excellent
floor game. Jim Gabriel also hit
for nine points. Gene Harbold
played a good defensive game
and played large part in hold
ing the Tigers score down.
Broadway Wins Easily
Broadway took a 14-6 lead at
the end of the first period and
increased it slowly throughout
the game as the Red Devils
romped over York 62-47 in d
surprisingly easy win.
The Broadway team led 28-l9
at halftime and 1888 going into
the third period. York threaten
ed at several points in the second
half but the Blue Bombers were
unable to really put the pres
sure on at any time.
Clarence Mcmahon paced the
Broadway scoring with II points
while Jack Rockhold got II for
York. Westlake added Is for the
winners and Steele got IL. De-
witt and Cahill played good floor
games for the losing York team
and scored IL and seven points
respectively.
Consolation Games
In the consolation tits at Rich
: wood Tuesday night, a highly
rated Magnetic Springs team
eliminated Raymond with q
thrilling 58-55 decision. This was
Raymond's second loss to d
heavily favored team by the same
score.

Unlike Many Other Sections,
Coal Situation Easier Here

While other sections of the
country may have been hard-hit
by the coal strike, Marysville has
not yet been seriously affected
by it, according to the informa-
ton given The Journal today.
Dwight Hush, superintendent
of Nestles Milk Products, Inc,
said his company actually has
more coal on hand now than
when the strike began. NeStles
uses great quantities of coal to
generate its own electricity.
So far as residents are con-
cerned, there is no immediate
cause for concern, according to
Edgar Conrad of the William j.
Conrad & Son Co., Marysville'S
leading coal dealers. eve have
been able to keep people pretty
well supplied right along" he
said.
Schools are o. K.
Marysville Public Schools have
enough coal to run the rest of the
year, Supt. H. w. Carr said, while
other public buildings are also
well provided for.
The Conrad company has been
stretching its coal supply out by
apportioning it among those
needing it most.
"We have been asking persons
who do not seriously need more
coal to hold off buying" Mr.. Con
rad said. Those who do need
coal we have been limiting tc
| smaller amounts than they would
ordinarily buy"
Besides this mild form of ra-
tioning, Conrad's have also beer

lieved the situation still further
Weather Helps. Too
Another thing which has help
ed out during the strike has been
the mild weather. "Had we hao
a severe winter, it might have
been different story" Mr.. Con

has not been too good and not
what we would have liked to
buy, but we have still had plenty
