Under new coach Lou Menghini's guidance, the Indians provided stiff opposition against each foe and finished the season with a smashing AI-O win over Yuba City. Against Oroville on Oct. 7, MUHS lumped into a 6-O lead and seemed poised to spring the year's prep upset, but the visitors hurriedly regrouped and continued their lengthy winning streak with a 27-6 victory. Dick Clanton, fullback, Jerry Ellis, guard, and John Vantress, quarterback, were steady, skillful pigskinners throughout the year and deserved their All-League honors.

PAPPOOSES WIN SIX Victorious in their last five games, the Marysville Pappooses finished the season in second place. Among their wins was a 25-6 drubbing of the league champs, San Juan. Coached by John Stremple and George Paine, the Pappooses were an alert, co- hesive club, capable of striking from any point on the field. Among the players who showed to ad- vantage were Backs Hernandez and Pitts. Some good linemen will graduate to next year's varsity. J.V.'s... . . .15 Gridley .
