MAfter a year of rebuilding, the Bulldogs came roaring back this season to chew up all the opposition in sight. By the final meet, the Harriers had five runners who were finishing the 2.4-mile course in less than twelve minutes. Prospects for the 1964 season are equally bright as three of these five will be returningfl -Coach Curtis CRCSS CDU Varsity BHS 151 -I6 Wm. Penn BHS 15 46 Christiana BHS 19 L1-4 P. S.

Under the able leadership of co-captains Dave Bailey and Dave Evans and the excellent direction of coaches Widdoes and Gilbert, the squad was juiced into easily vanquishing Friends, Christi- ana, Westtown,'and gaining harder-fought victories over St. Andrews, Sun Valley, and Great Valley. The Bulldogs downed all challengers from the state of Delaware as well as several from Pennsylvania. One of the season's highlights was a keenly contested battle with Ridley Township, recently the Pennsylvania State Champions. Both sides struggled valiantlyg but as the time ran out, they were still deadlocked in a 1-1 tie. Seniors Bailey, an outstanding goalie, Evans, an all- p around offensive rnang Bob Levering, a key fullbackg and exchange students Umur Kok and Roger Rivera will be missed next yearg but it is expected that their places will be ably filled by the host' of talented juniors who were an integral part of this yearis team. Above: Morrow and Evans chalk up another Bulldog mark. SEASON RECORD Varsity BHS Avon Grove BHS Sun Valley BHS Newark BHS Penncrest BHS Friends BHS Ridley Township BHS St. Andrews BHS Great Valley BHS Christiana The 1963 edition was the outstanding unit thus far in BHS Westtown the history of Brandywine High School. This should be a Jr. Varsity temporary comment appropriate for this year only, for BHS Sun Valley next year's statement should be a repetition of this. BHS Penncrest With the tremendous number of lettermen who will return BHS Friends next year, an even greater record is eyed for 1964-. --Coach Widdoes

STATE C AM S Anxious to make amends for last year's second place finish, Brandywine's 1963 Cross-Country team set a standard unmatched in the state. Under the brilliant direction of Coach Curtis, the Harriers swept past all Challengers to cap- ture the Blue Hen Conference and Delaware State crowns. ln addition, the Harriers defeated a strong contingent from Haverford, Pennsylvania. Establishing a new school record of 11:15, Ed Bell put together the finest individual season in Brandywine history. Unbeaten in ten dual meets and the Conference Meet, Ed missed an undefeated season when an unfortunate fall in the last hundred yards of the State Meet resulted in a third- place finish. Bell's most outstanding performances were victories over P. S. DuPont's Bob Cooper in the dual meet and the Conference meet. Like the varsity, the J. V. Harriers ran spirited races, but they overpowered their opponents even more. Only once did they fail to sweep the first six places in a dual meet, and five of their victories were by shutouts. Spurred on by Bob Bothis record-breaking 12:16 mark, the Bulldog J. V. team swept seven of the first nine places to gain their fourth straight state title. Above: Bill Bailey is the best Con- ference runner returning next year, placing sixth this year Abore: Bell, the best individual runner in BHS history wins the Blue Hen Conference championship.
