The team was coached by Jack Roos in his 1st season. Season After three consecutive seasons being one of the best teams in the country, Clarkson had to contend with serious problems at the start of the season. In August, captain-elect William Harrison Heintzman was suffering from a throat infection and had an operation to address the condition. He appeared to recover after surgery and began to train for his senior season but began experiencing complications. His condition worsened and he deteriorated, dying on August 21 at the age of 25.https://nyheritage.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/clarkson/id/885/rec/5 Clarksonian 1930 Clarkson University November 24, 2021 While that tragedy unfolded, the team also had to deal with the loss of Professor Gordon Croskery, the team's head coach, who had left the college after the previous season. Harry Hodge, the school's assistant coach of athletics, was put in charge of the team until a permanent replacement was found. Jack Roos was eventually hired for the job and had a tough task to lead the team after Heintzman death. In Heintzman's memory, no captain was named for the year and the team did well to soldier on. After several exhibition wins in Canada, Clarkson opened the season in Ottawa and played a raucous game against Ashbury, winning 9–6. Upon returning home, the defense recovered its typical form and the team shutout Loyola 2–0.https://nyshistoricnewspapers.org/lccn/np00010001/1930-01-09/ed-1/seq-1/ Clarkson Integrator., January 09, 1930, Page 1, Image 1 NYS Historic Newspapers January 9, 1930 November 24, 2021 Warm weather forced a game with MIT on 10 January to be rescheduled for early February.http://tech.mit.edu/V49/PDF/V49-N82.pdf Lack of Good Ice Interferes with Schedule The Tech January 10, 1930 November 24, 2021 After dropping a Ashbury college in a mid-January rematch, the team headed on a trip south.
