TRACK Since this annual went to press before the 1940 track season ended, a brief resumay of last years team is given. The 1939 Trojan cinder men were very successful, winning four out of five track meets. The Trojans won the Douglas Invitational meet for Cllftons first time. The Trojans also captured the Class C State meet at Tucson by narrowly edging the Phoenix Monarchs. Last years Trojans were paced by such men as: Baker-pole vault, broad-jump, and dash; Cazares-mile and 880; Marquez-880 and 440 ; Cosper-440; Filleman-high and low hurdles; Hernandez-mile; Goodspeed-weights and high Jump; and Subia-880. Outstanding men in their events were Baker, who broke the Douglas Invitational record in the pole-vault; Cazares, twice State winner of the mile run; and Marquez, who has always been out in front in distance races in the state. The loss of Filleman and Cosper will be felt badly as they were sure point winners in all meets. New men out for the 1940 track team are De Leon and Nunez, distances; Montoya and Smith weights; Holguin, Javelin; and Cockran , sprints. The schedule is as follows: April 3 April 13 April 20 April 27 May 3 4 Eastern division B C Meet Douglas Invitational Clifton Invitational Qualifying meet for state meet State meet 21

The opening of the season showed prospects for a promising season but for some reason the team did not click. In the Safford game the Trojans showed that they could play good ball by playing a good game, but the seasons results show that all but one game were lost. The entire season saw at least one or two first string players on the bench because of injuries and this hindered success. To Baker went the honor of the longest run in this years high school play. During the Pima game he picked up a punt three yards behind his goal line and with the aid of good blocking dodged his way 193 yards to pay dirt. The Trojans won their only game from the Wilcox Cowboys with a 19-12 score, and they turned in two very good games against the Morenci Wilkcats. The Wilkcats won both games by margins of six points.

The second team did not lose a game. The first string was defeated twice, once by Morenci and once by Virden. During October, Morenci defeated the girls by 12 points, the score being 31 to 19; but Clifton came back with high spirit and defeated them 33 to IB. To beat Morenci was the aim of the Trojan-ettes and after being defeated, came back with a do or die spirit. Lettermen are: Euilienne Brutinel—Co-Captain Olive Fllleman Celia Morales Jean Rascoe Alice Coronado Amelia Perez Sophia Martlnez--Co-Captain Norma Reid Lucia Morales Margaret Schade Cuca Perfecto Ann Taylor The Freshmen this year were good enough to place two members of their class upon the team while the Sophomores lettered one and the Juniors lettered two. Next years team will feel the loss of seven Seniors. 22
