'l W THESTORY. Although somewhat lacking in height and experience, the Indians of Marysville high basketball var- sity put together a winning sea- son. They finished third in the league, bested rival Yuba City two out of three, and with the aid of a rule infraction, split with the title winners, Oroville. Coach Strernple fielded a fast moving, accurate shooting five. Let- ters were awarded to Roger Brown, Jim Pinkerton, Tom Johnson, Ralph Washburn, Harold Richie, Ralph White, and student managers Larry Colling and Richard Gilbert. MUHS's Eaton goes high in the air to snatch a rebound from Yuba City as the Indians trounced their big rivals 67-AO, early in the season. Brown, No, l8, and Pinkerton look o lt's the opening tip-off, and Johnson goes high along with his Honker rival. Eaton and Pinkerton stand ready.
