by the hard-charging, hard-tack-
ling Marysville defenders, except
lfor few occasions when Wilson
or Duffey got away for gains of
| 10 or IL yards.
| On the offense, Marysville was
outstanding once they got rolling.
Bud Hoffman celebrated his re-
| turn to the lineup by playing one
| of the most brilliant games of his
career. He scored two touch
! downs himself, one on a 66-yard
| jaunt, and passed to John Evans
for a third. In addition, he play
ed a bang-up game on defense.
Evans turned in some nice ball
carrying himself, and also was
outstanding on defense, as was
| Gene Wood. Jimmy Dayton, con-
verted quarterback, continued to
show improvement in his ball
handling and signal calling, and
was especially good as defensive
end.
Entire Line Good
The entire line Of Marysville
/ turned in stellar performance,
blocking hard, tackling hard, and
charging fast on both offense and
defense.
| For London, outstanding play
ers were Tom Bopely and Hunter,
the ends; with Burehnell, Graves
and Roudebush also turning in
some fine defensive play.
/ Like the Monarchs, who were
playing without their regular
center, Bill Coder, and regular
| quarterback, Jimmy Degood, both
| out for the rest of the season,
London also had two regulars on
the bench. Their fullback, Snider,
is still out with broken collar
| bone, but expected to return to
the lineup next week, and Her
man, regular guard, was out with
a knee injury after being clipped
| by Grove City player last week.
In addition, their quarterback,
LeBeau, had been sick and un-
able to practice all week.
Game ClanelY Played
The entire game was marked
by extremely clean play on both

favorably upon London's play af-
ter the game.
Almost the entire first half was
scoreless, the first Marysville
