Young team performs well With the benefit of most of last year's Cross-Country team on this yearis squad, the still Tyoung team ended the 1966 season with a good record. he harriers began the season with a sixth place finish in the Shaker Invitational and a ninth place finish in the Grout Run. The team then travelled to New York to take a disappointing eighteenth pllace in the large thirty-eight entrly .Y.U. Invitational eet. The team took thirteenth p ace in the Chenango Valley Invitational and a heartening third place in the Catholic Central Invitational. The Sectional on Novem- ber 5 marked the highpoint of the season. Puttincg togeth- er a fine effort, the team finished a close thir behind Colonie and Saratoga. The Varsity team was led throufghout the year by ju- nior, Eugene Urban, who placed fth in the Sectionals, and sophomore, Lou Champochiaro. The rest of the var- sity was made up of seniors, Ron Pucci and Stan Schneider, juniors, Scott Belleman and Howie Cain, and freshmen, Chuck Shaw, Bob Grant, and Ace Rice. A The J.V. team came along strong at the end ofthe sea- son with two victories in a row. hey won the Catholic Central Invitational and easily won the Sectional with a total of 48 points. Leading the junior harriers were senior John Vallely, juniors John Merriman, Paul Dornburg and Howie Cain, and freshmen Grant and Rice. Lintonls next yearis Cross-Country team should be even better than this year's team with all but three of the striders returning next year. CROSS-COUNTRY Shaker Invitational 6 Grout Run 9 N.Y.U.

Modest, Coach Przybylo. Linton rookies prove outstanding The Linton High squad started off its season against cross-town rival M.P. which did not boast strong competi- tion from the previous year, but proved too hard for the Devils to handle in the early going of the game. In the early going Gary Przybylo and Gary DeLuca helped the Linton squad keep a slight edge by scoring on jump shots and drives. The game seemed even for both clubs until the final quarter when both combined to pull the Devils away from the Red Raiders to stay. Linton came out on top 83 to 62. DeLuca ended up with a game high of 26 points which was supplemented with 19 more points from Gary Przybylo. Dennis Chakas proved in- valuable with his strong rebounding. Our hoopsters went into the Philip Schuyler game 1-1 on the season chart and in Class A. Schuyler was unde- feated in their first two games and was rated a slight fa- vorite to down the Bluels bid for the Class A lead. The battle proved to be a hectic one for everyone present. The two teams exchanged baskets throughout the first half and Linton went into the locker room 33 to 32. The final half was just as nerve-wracking as the hoopsters nar- rowed the gap between the two teams to two points with two seconds remaining in the contest. At this point Pete Lenihan scored at the buzzer on a 15 ft. jumper to tie the score. In overtime the Devils couldnlt get going and were finally defeated by an 88 to 80 margin dropping to 1-2 in the Class A. The team had it easily with Bethlehem Central but then met Hudson, the Western Conference champs, on their home court. This game also proved to be all the way, although a late surge by the Devils was stymied and we were defeated 73 to 71. Next on the roster was the Guilderland Christmas Tournament. Lintonis first foe was host Guilderland. The Devils handled the weak Suburban Council team easily, and next had a strong Vincentian club, then rated in the top ten of the area. Starting ofT very fast and looking the best they had in many days the team went into the locker room at halftime 16 points up. But in the third quarter the Devils fell apart again and Vincentian pulled ahead by four points going into the final period. The game went along nip and tuck until the last minute of play when Linton proved the stronger of the two. With two jump balls controlled by Linton and two foul shots by Howie DeLuca, the Devils came out on top 70 to 69. This made them co-winners of the tourney with Amsterdam High. Linton finally met the Raiders of Mont Pleasant again, at Pleasant. The Reds wanted to revenge the first Linton victory, but Linton showed again who was stronger of the two cross-town rivals. The Devils took the lead quickly but got into foul trouble late in the second quarter hold- ing only a one point lead upon entering the gym to begin the second half. In the third quarter both teams played evenly, but a strong press by the Devils in the final quarter proved to be the difference in the linal score. The press was led by Howie and Gary DeLuca, who combined for 14 straight points to put the game out of reach. Gary DeLuca also led scoring honors with 16, Dennis Chakas had a game high of 20 rebounds and Gary Przybylo, Howie DeLuca, and Bob Pezzano showed good floor games and rebounding.
