Cross Country

On November 5 the Big Green soccer team won its first victory and on November 8 the cross-country team chalked up its first win, so Coaches Tom Dent and Ellie Noyes formed what Noyes termed "a mutual admiration society."

Like soccer, the Dartmouth cross-country team has had a poor year, winning only one meet. After a dual meet with Brown was cancelled because of illness, the Big Green runners were shut out by a strong Harvard team 15-0.

The following week in the annual Heptagonals at Van Cortland Park in New York, the Big Green wound up in ninth place with Penn tenth. The meet was won by Cornell. Sophomore Ed Berkowitz, the first Dartmouth runner to finish, came across in 33rd place, while the rest of the Dartmouth squad were far down.

Dartmouth's only win came in the season's finale, a triangular meet against Eoston University and M.I.T. The Indians got 33 points against 48 for M.I.T. and 49 for B.U. Berkowitz again led the way, this time coming in second. Another sophomore runner, Art Pritchard, was third, with Captain Dick Nau, still bothered by a leg injury, finishing seventh, John Ceely tenth, Mike Nolen eleventh, and Mike Kestler twelfth.
