...Meehan goes in the mile, the fans will see a real race. Meehan, Brown's Dave Farley, last year's IC4A champion, and Army's Bill Straub, who has done 4:13.9 this winter, are the probable candidates for first, second, and third, but who knows the order...
Army coach Carl Crowell may hold Straub out of the mile and put him in the two-mile, with a chance to defend his 1963 Heps championship and avenge a December defeat at the hands of the Crimson's Walt Hewlett.

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.
