Dealy Hall sophomore quartet. potential in the middle distance events. They are Paul Bopko, Bob Wetjen, Tom Brennan and John MacNeil. Ralph Mackin is the lone runner to concentrate solely on the sprint events, while Ed Ariniello is the work horse in the weight department. Aside from Captain Ed McGuirk, John l-land, Jack Flynn and Wally Bryant are Fordham's best bets in the middle distance field. Juniors Art Cunningham and Tom Ward are the steadiest and hardest working distance men on the team. Rugged Richie Krause, husky Jim McGinty and ten miler Don Murphy also compete in these gruell- ing races. Although the freshman team does not have many chances to compete, these spirited yearlings train hard for their future competition on the varsity team. 5 fir V N-1. f fb -J Captain and Coach converge 'Ll '45 Qfitffr, If?-Yi57:Zpf'1' ,, .

Cross Country The i956 version ot Coach Art O'Connor's cross- country team was indeed one that Fordham can be proud of. Although their initial setback, the loss ot Captain-elect Ed Kilkelly through injuries, occurred prior to the opener with Columbia, the harriers re- bounded to beat the Lions. Decisive victories over N. Y. U. and Seton Hall enabled the Rams to extend their skein. Junior Art Cunningham led the squad in both of these triumphs as he set a new school standard of 26 min. and 2 sec. tor the rugged tive mile course. This erased the old mark ot 26:l l set by Don Ander- son in l952. Senior Ed McGuirk, Juniors Tom Ward and Jack Flynn, and Soph star Dick Kraus backed up Cunningham's fine performance as they scored for the Maroon. The Fordham streak was halted as they met three championship teams in a row. St. Joseph's, the Middle Atlantic Champs, St. John's, the Met loop kings and Cunningham wins again. Yale, the Big Three title-holder, all topped the Rams. Art Cunningham again starred as he lowered his own school mark to 25158 and then to 25:45 in winning both the Redmen and the Eli meets. The O'Connormen did, however, regain their win- ning ways in their next meet against lona, as they shut-out the Gaels, Every Fordham runner crossed the finish line before lona's first man. The next toe was Syracuse University. The upstaters' balance proved too much tor the harriers, with the Orange win- ning l7-34. Election Day saw Fordham cop third place in the team standing and Art Cunningham notch second place individually with the fast clocking Front Row: W. Bryant, J. McGinty, A. Cunningham, D. Kraus, E.
