Marvin Yarnell was a 6' 1", 185 lb. end who was a native of Exeter. He graduated in Economics in 1940.

MARV YARNELL: Pole vaulter of No. 111 repute tries for the Southern League Championship. With that record he might easily be the sensation of the day.

Promoter Al White has an attractive card of ten battles for his All-Star boxing show. A ring will be constructed on the field, and the famous sport of "give and take" will ensue. In the main event, Marvin Yarnell, the tall and lanky end from George Malley's eleven, meets Jack Frazier, a new tackle to the gridiron contingent, who hails from Michigan. The experience of both boys extends to an occasional street fight when they were little shavers, but both are plenty rugged and should put on a rip-snorting battle (TheFoghorn).
