FOOTBALL For the first time in more than twenty years, the Amherst football team completed an undefeated season. As the highlight of the season, the Canes swept through the Intercounty League without losing a contest enroute to sole possession of the crown. This was the first Am- herst team to hold the Intercounty title undisputedly. The team started the season by whipping the only non-league opponent on the schedule, Williamstown, 18-12. This triumph was followed by victories over Frontier, Arms, and AAahar. The Canes took a giant step toward the league crown by blasting a favored South Hadley eleven, 28-0. This victory was followed by another smashing triumph, as the Cane ' s made it two in a row with a 30-0 blanking of Ware, previously undefeated. The Canes finished the season by squeezing out wins over Murdock and Ludlow. The key to the season was the combination of a stalwart defense and break-away offense. The Canes came up with their top performances of the season when they were most needed. Individual laurels went to Tom Parkinson, All-In- tercounty League fullback. He paced the Intercounty League in scoring and was close to fhe top all season in the Western Mass, scoring lists. Other ARHS All-Inter- county players were Cliff Allen, Wes Cembalisty, and Dennis Patnaude. This trio comprised the left side of the all-star team line and was responsible for the dif- ficulty the opposition faced in running against the Canes. Other seniors turning in top performances were Bill Ennis, end; Steve Smith and Jim Allen, guards; and Tom Martin, Steve Stone, Charlie Domina, and Bob Wilson, backs.

VARSITY BASKETBALL The Amherst Regional Hurricanes compiled a fine 13 and 4 record to finish second in the Hampshire League. In the three independent games which opened the ' Canes ' ' 59-60 season, ARHS copped one victory. The triumph over Athol, however, proved to be one of the biggest wins of the season. Amherst was one of three teams to defeat the Athol five which was later invited to the Western Mass. Tournament. West Spring- field and a strong Northampton team administered the early losses to the Hurricanes. Once the Hampshire schedule opened, the Hurri- canes hit their stride. Hopkins, Frontier, Pioneer, St. Michaels, and Arms were easily defeated twice. South Hadley and Smith Academy were a different story. The two contests with the Tigers were two of the best of the Hampshire League season. Amherst took the first, 51-50, at South Hadley and decisioned the Tigers 55-53 on the home court. Smith Academy, the Hampshire champs and West- ern Mass. Tournament winners, were the only league five to down the ' Canes. They bested ARHS easily in Amherst, 68-47, but had trouble when the Hurricanes traveled to the Hatfield Court, 63-54. While there was no one big scorer for the ' Canes, they owed their success to the balanced scoring of the starting five. Bob Wilson topped the team with Cliff Allen, Eddie Trachy, Tom Parkinson, and Chuck O ' Rourke all close to the 10 points per game mark. Denny Was- kiewicz did a fine job as the team ' s number six man and filled in ably for Tom Parkinson when the latter was injured late in the season. Bruce Meader, the sixtn senior on the team, performed well when called upon.
