lcv' KOmmo Meade St. Paul's Varsity harriers raced to their third straight winning campaign in MSA competition by notching 14- wins against 13 losses last fall in the 10 team triple group meet scramble. ln the initial group meet, their best showing, the Crusaders ran fourth- defeating Douglass, Mt. St. Joseph, Carver, Southern, and Patterson Park-with co-captain Tom Meade finishing tenth of 65 runners. Weakened by the flu and a patched line-up for the remainder of the season, the thinclads came a cropper in the second group tilt with a seventh place effort but closed their record by recovering for a fifth place showing in the final standings. Bill Clark finished thirteenth among 75 finishers in the last meet and also garnered individual honors in a dual meet team loss at St. James. Earlier, Jack Brigstock had won his first race as the Crusaders tripped Towson State Teacher's College on their home course. By the close of the season, newcomers White, Robertson, and Kommalan had moved into the top seven, with co-captain Joe Carter, the lone senior, completing the Varsity A roster. Seven new Varsity HBV letter winners-Von Brieson, Campbell, Cain, Britton, Hill, Beers, and Alan Rutherford supplemented a half dozen veteran holdover reserves- Mac Goodwin, Levering, Parham, Pearson, Hartman, and Wolf. Managers Clark, Jones, and Freeman completed the varsity roster. First-time jayvee performers, although winless over the season, numbered a baker's dozen with six sophomores-Keeler, Ryer, Morrow, J. Rutherford, Davies, and Lack-and a junior fivesome of Johnson, Bowles, McKay, Lang, and Carr aiding senior novices Dave Barney and Ashbury and the veteran Jim Burch. With two-dozen letter winners returning next fall, Coach Heller's harriers have definite designs on the MSA varsity diadem. 71

di Co .th and Schrm Udres ruffm. . 0 d Co-C,oPtcms Sm' Renfko Varsity Football . . Congratulations to the coaching staff and members of the 1957 football team for turning in the best won-lost record Saint Paulis has seen in the past seven years. Coaches Tullai and Rentko are to be congratulated for turning this seemingly weak and inexperienced team into one of the powerhouses of the city by using their comprehensive knowledge of the game and their masterful juggling of players to get the right combination. Though there was no single fixed combination it can be said that the first offensive team usually consisted of Jerry Schmidt, Butch Darrell, Larry Post, Kent Marbury, John Tompkins, Jay Gouldin, Randy Walker, Neale Smith, Bob Hachtel, Will Vercoe, and Pete Sheehan. The defensive unit was identical except that John Sherwood replaced Larry Post, Larry Nielson took Johnny Tompkins place, and Lauren Scheffenacker replaced Bob Hachtel. With the season behind us one can look back and remember but a few of the highlights of the season-Will Vercoe's game-winning pass interception against Aberdeen, Pete Sheehan's accurate place-kicking, Roy Mayne's breaking his thumb at Aberdeen, Dave Fisher moving up from the Little Crusies, Jerry Schmidt's brilliant defensive playing, Evans Coodwin,s excellent managing, Jay Couldin,s tremendous blocking, and certainly the best memory was Larry Post's election as unsung hero of the city. One of the most important factors for the success of the team was its bench strength, which was used considerably. Once again we would like to extend congratulations to the team members for the excellent job accomplished. ' 72
