CROSS-COUNTRY

Most of the bright news on the cross-country scene was provided this fall by freshman captain Steve Atwood of Westfield, N. J. Steve won the Columbia Ivy League Invitational, a freshman event tied in with the Heps, and he finished a commendable 12th in a field of 125 runners from 28 colleges in the IC4-A Freshman Meet. Earlier in the year Atwood broke the freshman course record in defeating Harvard, also won against Yale and Columbia, and gained revenge on two Brown runners who had beaten him in Providence by soundly defeating them in the IC4-A meet.

The varsity harriers won a triangular meet with Yale and Columbia although Captain Lee Daneker of Cranston, R. I., in fourth place, was the first Green individual finisher. Daneker had trouble regaining his 1963 form as he was hampered by illness. Sophomore Roy Benson of Stevens Point, Wis., came along well but the squad did not have the balance to challenge Manhattan, Brown or Harvard in dual meets and it finished last in the Heptagonals.
