men The track prospects at the first of the season were rather dull. Bill Tyson was only returning letterman. Minnick, Cronan, Don Smith, Pat Jones, and fyson made most of the trips. The team competed in the Gothenburg Belays, the McCook Invitational, Arapahoe Invitational, and the County meet. Cronan was the chief point getter for the Trojans, as he was always crowding the leaders in the him hurdle events. He and Pat Jones, 880 specialist, were Cam- bridge's only entries in.the state meet. Neither placed at Lincoln against the heavy state-wide competition. In mid-season an early • spring flood ruined the Cam- bridge facilities for track. The flood buried the shot and vaulting pole, as well as the jumping pit and vaulting standards. This discontinued the track practices for 1942. The track team of Cambridge High sincerely hopes, -for future teams, that someday Cambridge can keep up with other schools by having a good football field and track with which to practice on. Teams have had to cope with floods and poor dirt track long enough J

The Curtis game—the last for the seniors—was q queer one. For the first time, the Trojans set their minds on a victory, but oon they were changed. They played desperate ball, made wild passes, but m ssed set-ups. After the half, the Trojan teamsters turned to enjoying defeat by having a little fun during the last 16 minutes of the game. In the last half, the Trojans scored 18 points and held Aggie scoring to 14, Due to the lead already against them, the Trojans bowed in defeat. The following is. a scoring account, of the 42 season.
