Track Clinton started the 1942 track season with hopes for a good season running high. With many experienced runners and held stars returning. Coach Norman Parkhurst molded a formidable team from the veterans and eager newcomers. VVith only two days of practice each week to prepare for the meets the boys had to work extra hard in order to qualify in the time trials held for the meets as only those qualifying were taken on the trips. This year for the first time in Clinton history the track team won the Upper Mohawk Valley League track meet held at Colgate University. The team com- piled 48 points to 342 for its nearest competitor, XYhitesboro. New Hartford was third with 34. In the three other meets held this year, Clinton remained undefeated, conipilv ing scores of 58 points at Herkimer, 26 in the U.F.A. Invitation Meet and 36M in the Section Ill meet at Proctor.

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.

Loaded with power. pitching and fielding skill, the team has started out by easily beating all its opposition. Playing R. F. A. and St. Francis, two major opponents, the team had no trouble at all in subduing them. One of the reasons for the team's success is its strong pitching staff. Smokey Asmer, Ray Restle and Jim Lorenz can all be called on to pitch games that will make the opponents green with envy. The infield with John Schilling at third, Fido Hyde at short, Ray Restle at second and Owney Burns at first are all fielding stars as well as being dangerous with the bat. The outfield is steadied by the excellent play of Bill Hooson and the aggressive play of Dick Burns and Bill Fox. If the team does not get over confident it should coast in without a defeat. The player that has the key on the team is Captain Paul Schilling. XVith his excellent play and steadying qualities the team can't fail. Q'
