Getting off to a slow start, the Muir Varsity Basket- ball team, coached by Al Weary Walton, shifted into high gear at mid-season and roared into the first division of the Western States Conference. The early season play of the Mustangs seemed to bear out the experts who' tabbed them as the doormat of the league, for as the first round of league play neared its close, the Muir quintet had won only one league game, a surprising 4,0-28 win over a highly touted Phoenix five. Then they suddenly caught fire, and in quick succession, the Mustangs whipped the cross-town Bulldogs, 40-365 swamped San Diego Naval Training Station, 65-26, in a non-conference tiltg and nipped Long Beach, 49-48. On the following week-end Muir traveled' to Ventura and scuttled the Pirates, 46-42. Then in the best game played during the season in Muir's deep-freeze unit, the Mustangs upset the league-leading Compton Tartars in a 49-48 thriller. At this point, with the Mustangs winning six out of their last seven games, it looked as if Muir's doormat might replace Compton at the top of the conference page 132 standings. But the Pasadena Bulldogs came along and dumped the Muir applecart, 48-47. The team, however, bounced right back. and trounced Long Beach, 50-403 and in the league final took a one-pointer from LACC, Even with their terrific stretch drive the early season. losses were ,too much of a handicap to overcome, and the Mustangs had to be satisfied with a fourth place in the final league standings. On the basis of their fine play Muir was invited to the Western States College Basketball Tourney at Compton. , The outstanding players of the Mustang Varsity were: Bill Meyer, who set a new school and conference scoring, record by bucketing 27 points against Ventura, and whose 700 points for two seasons will no doubt stand for many years to comeg lighting Paul Pruett, who averaged a phenomenal .80 on free throwsg alternate Centers Harlan Pebley and Hank McCutcheon, steady performers in every gameg and Bill Roney, Dick Salter, and Ron Rader, guards, whose fine play was a major factor in the team's stretch drive.
