Marysville Shows Improvement
In Victory Over Valiant Redwood

Hoffman fumbled on the Tigers
80 and Redwood recovered. IN
able to gain, Redwood had to
punt and the ball rolled dead on
the Monarch 81
Hoffman was held for no gain
but on the next play he broke in
to the clear and rambled "a yards
over the goal, only to have the
play called back by holding
penalty on the Monarchs.
But the locals were not to be
denied. Short, but steady gains
took the oval to the Tigers SO,
from where Hoffman passed to
McCracken, who was wide open,
and he crossed the goal untouch-
ed by human hands. Kleiber's
place-kick was again good and
Marysville was leading 1912.
The third quarter ended few
plays later as Chapman punted
dead on the Marysville "a.
Fourth Quarter
Marysville was unable to gain
and had to punt for the first time
in the game. But after making
one first down, Rich 70 o d
couldn't gain either, and had to
punt. This time, McCracken, who
had come close nearly every
time previously, broke through to
! block Chapman's punt and it was
Marysville's ball on their own 39.
Porter and Powelson alternated
in working the oval to the Rich
wood 80, from where DeGood
passed to Porter for the final
touchdown of the evening. Kleib
er's kick was low, but the Mon
archs were ahead 1912. DeGood
intercepted Redwood pass after
the kickoff on the Tiger 45, and
when the game ended few plays
later, the Monarchs had worked
! the ball all the way to the Rich
wood 4-yard stripe.
Both the Redwood and Marys-
vile band put on excellent half
time shows.
Half Time Band Shows
The snappy Redwood band,
rated superior" in their class in
state competition last spring, pre-
sented a pageant on transporta-
ton after salutes to both the Ma
rysville and Redwood crowds.
The Tiger musicians formed a
Merry Oldsmobile" which had a
flat tire, a bicycle, and locomo-
tive, complete with smoke-stack
and smoke coming out of it.

program dedicated to this year
as Marysville high schools gold
en- anniversary of football. After
tributes to each of Marysville's
coaches, the drum majorettes es-
corted onto the field Supt. H. w.
Carr and Mark Longbrake, the
only living member of Marys-

brake a lifetime pass to all Ma
