Conquering all opponents within its class, the Briton cross country team annexed six victories while losing only one dual meet to capture their fourth straight MIAA title. Led by Captain Ted Hagadone, the Britons met all comers and fell only once before the team from Bowling Green State university in Bowling Green, Ohio. Against MIAA opponents, Albion now has taken the last 24 runs. Opening competition against the University of Illinois, Chicago branch, the Britons triumphed, 20-35. It was in the second meet that they lost to Bowling Green, 24- 23, Against Adrian, whose Tom Hewitt won the indi- vidual championship, Albion won Z0-43 and followed that with a lop-sided IO-40 count over Kalamazoo.

Coached by Henry Beckenbach, the swimmers were able to complete the season without suffering defeats in four departments. Tom Allen, the Briton's great free style swimmer, has yet to meet defeat in the 60-yard and lOO-yard free style events. The other individual star of the season was Charlie Luxmoore who finished first every time he was entered in the l5O-yard backstroke. Allen and Luxmore teamed up with Bob Porte to make up the medley relay team that chalked up a first each time it competed. Coach Beckenbach's fledglings opened Albion's new- est venture into collegiate sports last December l5th when they met Detroit Tech. Precision swimming and good conditioning was apparent as the tankmen regis- tered a 51-24 decision over the visitors. They then turned back Hillsdale twice, 45-30 and 55-l7 before opposing the strong Illinois Tech aggregation. The Techawks were able to eke out a 38-37 win. Albion completed the season by routing the University of Illinois, Chicago branch, 48-27. All ten lettermen are scheduled to return to the campus next fall. nnuv.w'vefzm.
