TRACK AND CROSS-COUNTRY During the fall of 1946 cross-country, another new sport, was added to the long list of Trojan activities. The team had a fair season with 2 wins and 2 losses. The five runners who were chosen for the team were Clarence Schofield, David Smith, John Kinsinger, Eugene Haynes, and Jack Wright. Although this is a new sport, it still tends to build the boys ' form and endurance for other sports and by the time the season rolls around again, the Trojans will take to their usual winning form. During the spring the regular track season starts. Although last season ' s track team wasn ' t too good, this year they will have a lot to look forward to. Returning to the Trojans Thinlies will be Bob Keesling, who ran the 220 and 440-yard dashes; Mac Parker in the pole vault and 220; John Whalen in the mile and half mile; and Jim Dailey in the half mile and 220-yard dash. Returning for the mile relays, which was a strong point of last year ' s team, will be Jim Dailey, Bob Keesling, Bob Small, and David Day. This relay team last year placed second in the sectional. Mac Parker placed second in the pole vaulting, and Jim Dailey placed second in the 880-yard dash. Coach Walter Dutch Hassfurder will have a group of experienced men this season and we can look forward to new Trojan glory.

BASEBALL Despite the difficulties of rainy weather, the 1946 Trojan baseball team enjoyed a very successful season, winning ten games and losing four.

New Castle then played a return game with Connersville and were beaten 7-5, to end their five-game winning streak.
