Football Starting the 1941 season with many experienced veterans and a number of hardworking newcomers, Ralph Furiel, C1inton's line grid coach, turned out one of the best high school elevens in Central New York. Steadily improving in the last three years Clinton has gone from a second place standing in the league in 1939 to a three way tie with Whitesborfa and New Hartford in 1940 and a three way tie again with VVhitesboro and Canastota in 1941. g After a fine start in which Clinton won its first four games Wliitesboro tagged Clinton with its only defeat of the campaign 18-12 in a game played on a water soaked field. The team's greatest feat was at Ilion where Clinton came from behind to defeat llion 31-12 in a last-half surge of power that netted 24 points, while Ilion was held scoreless. From the records of other schools, it was found that Clinton had the highest scoring team in this section and was second in oints scored against.

Hockey With many well seasoned skaters returning, including high-scoring Captain Johnny Schilling, Coach Norm Parkhurst and Clinton looked forward to a suc- cessful hockey season. However, due to the poor' weather, the team was handi- capped by bad ice and insufficient practice and hung up the record of only five victories in eight starts which score was rather disappointing to all concerned. 'lihe'opposition that Clinton skated against was varied but the pucksters were able to roll up 40 goals to the opposition's 19. After defeating Fayetteville 7-3 and Onondaga 3-2 in its hrst starts of the year, Clinton was beaten 3-2 under the lights in a return match. ln a hard fought game at Valley's home rink, Clinton lost the rubber game 2-1. Its best performance was the shut-out 4-O, administered Rome in a night contest here. Clinton was invited to the first high school hockey tournament to be held on the Hamilton College rink March 6-7. Among the schools planning to com- pete with Clinton were Massena, Rome and Onondaga Valley. The weather, however, was again against hockey and the tournament was cancelled. Next year the schools hope to stage another tournament. Sophomore Dick Burns took the scoring honors with his brother Owney and Capt. Schilling runners-up.
