N.1. Harriers Successful Cross Country is a sport in which in- dividual placement is as important as team placing. Each individual strives for himself and by doing so produces an overall win for the team. It is through this effort and determination that the Northwood cross country team is a success. This summer Cross Country Coach Jack Johnson was among 300 coaches in the nation chosen to attend a two week all-expense paid trip to Califor- nia to receive more training in coach- ing track and cross country runners. As team members finished the race they were not only met with a victory, but also with a smile. Vita Arrocha was on hand to meet the runners. Northwood Cross Country runners meet to collect their well deserved ribbons. They are from left to right, Randy Kimery, Don May- mon, Curtis Hopewell, Pat Ringwald, Ron Slider, Bill Sanders, and Coach Johnson. 99

Fall Baseball Opens Sports coal The baseball diamond was in use early this year. Coach Larry Bledsoe and his team of fourteen opened Northwood’s sports season with fall baseball. The record for the season was a disappointing 1-4. The young team was constantly pitted against teams from colleges four or five times the size of Northwood and players who were more experienced. Leading the team in hitting were Otis Broughton and Rocky Dreiman with five hits each followed by Doug Simpson and Mike Owen with four hits each. Racking up three hits each were Ted Johnson and Terry Seudder. Pitchers included John Coakley, Robert Smith, Rocky Dreiman and Terry Yates. Center Coach Bledsoe surveys the game before giving instructions to the players. Right Mike Owen swings, but this time the ball goes into the waiting glove of the catcher. Above, it was an out as Mike stretched to catch the ball thrown to him. 60
