Played basketball, baseball, tennis and track from 1926-28.  He set the basketball scoring record in the Montgomery County League, averaging 20 points per game.  As a senior he scored 44 and 40 points in two games against Schwenksville.  He also led the league in scoring in 1928 with over 250 points.  High scorers during that era averaged 9-10 points per game.  His scoring accomplishments were phenomenal, considering that, after each basket scored, there was a jump ball at center court!  He starred with local basketball teams after graduating.  Clarence became a minister several years later.
