ed their opponents from their
own 35 to the Bellefontaine two
with the aid of Hoffman. He
broke through the Tribesmen's
forward wall for a 33-yard sprint
to the B. H. S. 2.
There, during the next three
plays, the Chieftains temporarily
stole the spotlight by holding
their opponents, first on the one
foot line, second, on the two-inch
line and then pushed the Mon
archs back five yards before Ma
rysville's Hoffman circled left
end to move across for a score.
McCracken's try for the extra
point failed but the Monarchs
then had regained the lead and
it stood 1877 at the half.
Pass For Touchdown
The third period was still in its
infancy when Marysville scored
its third haymaker last evening
and moved farther into the lead.
Action began on the MarysVille
SO and before too long the Mon
archs had advanced themselves
to the Bellefontaine SO.
There on the first play Hoffman
completed 80 yard pass to Evans
who scampered the remaining
yardage for a score and 1877 lead.
Again McCracken's kick failed
During the remainder of the per-
iod, the Chieftains and MonarchS
battled back and forth with each
team staging mild threats inter-
mittently.
Fourth period scoring action
began after an exchange of punts.
A 40-yard run by Holman settled
the Monarchs on the Bellefont-
aine's 6. A two-yard gain was
followed by Hoffman's 24-yard
dash through the center of the
line for the fourth Marysville I'd.
McCracken's attempted placement
failed, making the score 24-7.
Pass Intercepted
Shortly after the ensuing kick
off, Dayton elected to pass and
the attempt was intercepted by
Greene, who returned the ball
about eight yards to the Marys-
vile II, setting up Bellefontaine's
second and final tally. AT that
point Captain Barlow smashed
his way through center for the
remaining yardage. Johns place
ment was wide.
Before the game ended, the
Chieftains seriously threatened af-
ter taking over on their own Is.
On a desperate passing and run
ming attack they moved within
about two yardsof the enemy's
goal. The first pass was for 16-
yards, Barlow to Williams, as was
the second but that time Williams
lateraled to Richie for a 15-yard
gain. Just at the crack of the
gun, Barlow completed a some
8-yard pas to Greene, who snag-
ged it near the Marysville two
yard line.
The schools scoreboard decid-
ed to keep its own score by
freezing" on the numeral five.
The score read 55-55, fifth down
and five yards to go, with five
minutes left in the game. How
ever, near the tilts end the board
was repaired and replaced into
use.
AS result of Thursday nights
loss, the Bellefontaine Lions Club
will entertain the Marysville
Lions Club at a dinner in the near
future on an agreement reached
several weeks ago, by President
Roy Robinaugh, Bellefontaine,
and the Marysville president.
