I was at that game, there was also a player if I remember right Marvin Eagle Feather or something like that. He looked 40. Apparently unless you can prove they used up their eligibility they can play forever. I had this confirmed once from a student at MSU that said they always went back to play for the tournaments.

George yellow eyes played for the Montana State School (pine hills) in Miles City in 1959. My dad played for Plains who took second that year. George scored 103 points in his three games. My Dad said he was amazing and could shoot from anywhere. Just think no three point line then
