...track events should produce several highly interesting races. Army's Bill Straub, this year's Heptagonal cross country champion, will be challenged by sophomore Walt Hewlett in the two-mile race, and by captain Ed Meehan in the mile run. Hewlett's stronger over longer distances than two miles but, if he has a good day, it could be quite a race. Meehan, also, can be counted to make Straub run for his points. Bill Crain, Dave Allen, and John Ogden will probably also pick up some vital points for Harvard in the middle-distance events...
...Bill Straub of Army won the Individual title in a shocking upset over Cornell's Jim Byard and Steve Machooka, but the Big Red squad hung on to nip Brown, 57-58, for the team championship...
...Straub, who had lost to both Byard and Machooka in the Army-Cornell meet Nov. 2, won by a convincing six seconds over Byard in the slow time of 25:29.7 over a rain-soaked course. Byard, who had not lost a race previously, beat out his teammate Machooka by three seconds...
...other team has a chance for the team title, but Army's veteran Bill Straub has to be considered an individual threat. Ray Somers of Princeton, Jeff Sidney of Yale, and improving Lee Danker of Dartmouth are also good bets to break into the top ten naishers...
Harvard will encounter considerably more trouble in the Heptagonals. There, coach McCurdy's runners will come up against Navy's apparently great depth, and Army's Bill Straub, one of the best runners in the East. In addition, the Crimson will have to face its early-season conquerors, Brown and Cornell. Brown's Farley and Boog are very dangerous, and Cornell's Byard is the only man this year to defeat Hewlett. If the Big Red's Steve Machooka is serious about his comeback, he will become the man to beat in both the Heptagonals and the IC4A...
