JOE McMAHON LEADS THE WAY into the hills during the St. Francis Meet. Mc- Mahon, whom fellow runners dubbed Clark Kent lSuperman's stage namel, usually won his races by 50 to 100 yds.

Watch- ing the vast human herd coming across the flats of Van Cortlandt Park, one would think the seventeen-year locusts had re- turned. With hundreds of able runners competing for a handfull of medals and a single trophy, a gambling man would be better advised to stick to the numbers. Rice has seldom been outstanding in X-Country. The best they can hope tor is the-occasional standout. For the others, the season provides an excellent oppor- tunity to get in shape for the indoor and outdoor seasons. Although Rice entered every meet, they finished in the money in only one. Yet, no one was unhappy. The season served its purpose and the team got a lesson in hard competition. THREE RICE HARRIERS enter the hills together after crossing the flats of Van Cortlandt Park. They are Martin Patten, John Fong and Arthur Fludd. Just behind them-another Frosh, Thomas Agar. Occa- sion was the l.C.B. meet in which Frosh did well. Brothers' new school in Schenectady came down to take this one.
