Cross Country Cross Country is the only college sport which has the unique distinction of having as its playing field, walks around girls dormitories, wooded hills, roads and mountains. Although Haverford ' s nature walk provides none of the exotic scenery that the team encounters on away trips, it is full of such phenomena as Keolreutena paniculta and the China tree The harriers seem to take all this distraction in their stride and this year, under the coaching of Pop Haddleton and the leadership of Dove Nowlis, won half of their dual meets, or lost half, depend ing on whether you ore a pessimist or an optimist. The leading Senior on the team was Don Crane. Just when it looked as if he were to be top harrier, Dave Nowlis took over, so Don has been our second best runner for about four years. This budding biologist was on the nature walk one day Wtien the team ran past. He thought they were on the way to dinner or that the library was closing, so he joined them. Since he finished ahead of everyone else, he was persuaded to join the team, with the promise that he could eat the training meals. Of such stuff are stars born at Haverford College.

As soon OS Jimmy Mills left, Clive Coroneos stopped running laps. Last spring Clive hod been heard to soy, What me get married, me ze Latin Lover? Surely you are kidding, Johnee? Besides acquiring a wife, Clive had four full years at Haverford cutting classes, sleeping through classes, not being able to find his classes, etc. He found a little time in this strenuous schedule to play a little soccer. Adapting his class cutting techniques, he started cutting corners on his laps. Though demonstrating a rather odd example as captain, in a game he was a good one, and those who witnessed his incredible goal in the Swarthmore game will not soon forget it. George School fought the Westtown trend on the soccer field in the presence of Dick Forman. Dick played about every position on the line, usually left inside, but all with equal ability. His biggest trouble was combining his interest in soccer with that in birds. As Haverford ' s most active ornithologist, the crowd felt that Dick dur- ing a game might become distracted by the beauty of the day and the glory of the birds which seem to hover round our soccer field, but this distraction never came about. Besides his ornithology, Dick has been active in the Glee Club, but one doesn ' t hear him singing much on the soccer field, (but then who could hear much over the wails of Versocir ' ) Bob Bookhammer added the maturity needed in the line, and also the ability. Though he reputedly started here before Mills was coach, he did not ploy in any way like an old man. As a matter of fact, he was probably the most valuable lineman on the team. Bob was in his glory at the Swarth- more game. Not only did he play a fine gome, but also he was the object of much alumni speculation. One man with three little girls was heard to say, Is that Bobby Bookhammer? He was a Sophomore when I was a Freshman. The grand daddy of Haverford soccer was one of the sparks on a team of which Haverford could be really proud, and at times amazed. I -8 Hi
