1942 Football Summary By Bob Knox With the resigning of the former football coach, John Brace, who went into the Navy, the reins were taken over by Joe Leson who later in the season was inducted into the Army, and by Robert Lytle. Later in October, Robert Lytle became head coach and Andy Garcia assistant coach. This year Conneaut participated in eight football games, lost eight and won none. Although the football season wasn’t successful, no one can say that the determined Trojans ever stopped fighting. The opponents scored 248 points to Conneaut’s 6. The lone six points were scored by Sophomore, Bob Smith. With Conneaut’s invasion at the Meadville Bulldogs’ Stadium, September 19, the luckless Trojans started the season badly by the score of 33 0. The Willoughby Rangers then ventured to the Conneaut Stadium, September 27. Conneaut again lost with the score of 25-0. The game with Fairport, at the Skipper Stadium, was indeed unlucky for the hopes of thd Trojans, for although the Trojans wei'd at the Fairport one-foot line several times during the game, they managed to put only one marker across. Through an intercepted pass in the last thirty seconds of play, the Skippers won the game, 12-6. On October 9, the Harbor Mariners came to Conneaut where we again suffered defeat by the score of 32-0. On Friday, October 16, the locals advanced to the Paines-ville Red Raiders’ camp. There the smooth clicking Raiders’ machine steam-rollered 'he Trojans by the score of 25-0. Cn October 26, Geneva Eagles came roaring out of the West with a determined spirit, and went roaring back with the same spirit after beating Conneaut 25-0. The Men of Troy marched down to Girard, Ohio, on November 6. After a hopeless fight they lost by the score of 39-0. On November 13, the unlucky day of the year, the pride and joy of Conneaut invaded the lair of their old arch enemies, the Ashtabula Panthers. The powerhouse of the Panthers crushed the grim fighting forces of Conneaut with the use of some famed trick plays by the giant score of 56-0. The players receiving letters are Bob Smith, Henry Zappitelli, Maynard Groff, Jim Loomis, Bill Hasen, George Smith, Vernon Jarvi, Tony White, Jim Notte, Chuck Mundy, Nick Williams, Archy Trizna, Dick McLaughlin, Lyle Gaugh, Bob Knox, Curtis Crews, Carl Snyder, Wilbur Chidester, Gene McIntosh. The Elks treated the Trojans to the annual football banquet, with Coach Beede of Youngstown College as the principal speaker. This year the football team was managed capably by Jim Fortney and Dick Baker. TRACK Conneaut this year did not participate in Lake Shore League competition, because of the lack of transportation facilities, and because many of the boys were working in defense industries.
