On October 18th, the Marist Cross-country team won its first shut-out victory of the season, 15-42, against the visiting team of Fairleigh Dickinson University. John Forbes led the team across the finish line, tying his newly set record of 26:31. Charlie Rhodes paced a fast second-place time of 27:13. The next three men to cross the line for Marist were John Goegel (27:30), Bob Hatfield (28:10), and Brendan Burke (28:34). On Wednesday, October 27th, Marist picked up its second defeat of the season. Southern Connecticut State was the victor, defeating the team by a score of 21-34. The loss to Southern Conn, did not affect the morale of the team, which was demonstrated on October 30, at Van Cortlandt Park. The Marist team ran its way to victory in the Central Atlantic Conference Championships, de­ feating Monmouth and Bloomfield Colleges with an 18-51-73 score. John •• "**. v Forbes placed first with a time of 30:05, followed by Charlie Rhodes (30:24). Fourth place was taken by John Goegel (31:11), fifth place by Bob Hatfield (31:48), and sixth place by Dan Kuffner (32:44). Jimmy Walsh, Brendan Burke, and Tom Beyers finished seventh, ninth, and fourteenth, respectively, out of a total of twenty-four runners. The record stands at 9 wins and 2 losses. From this point in the season, the team will participate in two more meets, one against Sienna College, and the other the NEAIA Conference Championships. The NEAIA, the eastern ST.

On Saturday, September 30, Marist's three crew teams all won decisive victories over Iona, St. John's, Fordham, and Holy Cross. By once again win­ ning the trophy, Marist has repeated its achievement of last year. In the Varsity race, Marist won by 2 boat lengths over Fordham and Holy Cross. The J.V. defeated Iona and St. John's by 3 to 4 boat lengths and the Freshmen left little doubt as to who was going to win as they defeated Iona and St. John's by 6 or 7 boat lengths. Marist's second Freshman boat act­ ually placed third in that race. In sizing up the opposition, Coach Arold said, "Fordham looked the best it has in years, and Holy Cross was greatly improved over last year also." Mr. Arold anticipates trouble from Holy Cross in the spring. All in all, Coach Arold attributes the tremendous performances to a "culmination of hard work on behalf of all 3 crews". He said, "they followed Football F their race plans and rowed excellent races." He is well satisfied and says "the teams deserved to win." By Bro.
