Coach Clix Parrish had a young squad of boxers report for the g a initial work-out of the season. Only three Seniors reported. Morris a Larsen, District Three runner-up, Nelson Brant and Bert Orr. The latter had resumed the sport after a two-year absence from com- petition. Other than these, only Gene Smith, free swinging lightweight, and Charles Mitchell, 95 lb. gladiator, could show any ring experi- ence. The rest of the squad was made up entirely of Freshmen and Sophomores, who hadn't had any previous ring savvy Most promising of this group was Berle Bledsoe, hard punching middleweight, who gained more decisions than he lost. Benny Panzeri, l65 pounder gained considerable prestige by earning draws against two upper class opponents. Brent Clapier proved to be a crowd pleaser with his perpetual motion style ot fighting. Bob Malmberg also showed promise of becoming a successful campaigner. Coach Parrish selected six of his team members to represent Marsing in the Invitational Boxing Tournament held at Meridian. They included lack Trammel, freshman, who reported late and didn't get any regularly scheduled matches, Brent Clapier, Berle Bledsoe, Gene Smith, Morris Larsen, and Nelson Brant, who fought through the season without losing a verdict in the l45 lb. division.

Coached by Bob Young, the Marsing quintet com- piled l5 victories against only 3 setbacks during the regular campaign. Of the deteats, two were overtime trays and the other loss was by a single tally. The Blue and Gold held championship honors with New Plymouth in the fast S.R.V. HB con- ference loop. The rangy M.H.S. club suffered early elimination for state championship honors when Middleton and Parma humbled them in sub-district play at Fruitland. During the season the young men won a pair of decisions from Adrian, Homedale, Notus, Par- ma, Wilder, Middleton and Melba, while they split a pair with the co-champion New Plymouth Pilgrims, and lost two close tussels to the Grizzlies of Fruitland. Five seniors bow out this year, they include 6'5 center, Captain Roy Herman, guards, Rich Maggard and Bud Shields, and forwards, Dick Symms and Spencer Wilson, Highlight of the season was the closely con- tested battle against New Plymouth on the latter's court. The Pilgrims had taken the measure of the Marsing dribblers on the local hardwood in an overtime fray. The Huskies needed a return victory to assure themselves at least a tie of the conference crown. They did just that by saeezing past the boys from the north by a narrow 38-35 margin.
