Fine experience was gained in competition with the West Point Plebes and the Plebes from the United States Naval Academy who were scored on for the flrst time in flve years, due to Liptal-:'s gaining a fourth place in the meet. Led by Captain Dick Liptak, the harriers captured a Co- Championship with Paterson Eastside in the Passaic Valley League and placed tenth in the State Interscholastic Meet. Strong competition was found in such meets as the N. Y. U. Spike Shoe Meet and the National Cross Country Meet which was run on Thanksgiving Day at Elizabeth. Passaic's record included runs with many of New Jerseys outstanding teams including Thomas jefferson, Union, Kearny, Barringer, Trenton, and Mountain Lakes. Eddy Gulywasz will be next season's captain while the fleet-footed Liptak will be lost at graduation. Lellcrmen R. Liptak H. Chapler E. Gulywasz I. Uze D. Brown T. Matusky H. Connors Manager-J.
