Keyes, Shaw, Dreher, Howard, Matteson, Schiff Cross Country UANTITY AND QUALITY were the keynotes of this yearls cross country squad. The team was made up of thirty men and was captained by undefeated jon Arterton. Coach Sam Hoilman was especially pleased with the running of Arterton, Phil Bradley, Frank Snowden, Don Beclcer, and Art Keyes. The Blue Harriers finished the season with a 5-4-0 record, with wins over St. Stephen's ftwicej, St. James, Wakeheld, and Episcopal. Losses came against Randolph Macon, B-C.C., O'Connell, and Wilson. Captain Jon Arterton was the team's standout. He was undefeated in competition this year, breaking records in almost every meet. He broke the School record, the Wakeneld Invitational record, the Good Counsel Invitational record, and the Maryland Open Class B record. His great- est achievement was his record time of 16:28 on the three-mile course at Maryland University. He ran a two-mile course all season and clearly proved that he could handle the extra mile at Maryland. Without some newcomers from the lower forms next year, Phil Bradley will he captaining a team made up of Seniors only. Bradley ran a close second to Arterton all year and also broke the School record. St. Albans can expect a good season next year under his leadership. -JON ARTERTON 78 ATHLETICS 1963

Cornell, Reuss Wrestling His YEAR the wrestling team, under the expert and inspiring coaching of Mr. Smethurst, fin- ished the season with an 8-3 record against tough competition. It was undefeated champion of the 1.A.C. Two of the three losses were against top wrestling schools, Episcopal and Mercers- burg Academy, of Pennsylvania. The third loss was a close 21-20 decision to Suitland High. Two major factors contributed to the team's success this year. The first was the coaching staff-Mr. Smethurst, Mr. Kline, and the aging Mr. Grococlc, Whose desire to win was unquench- able throughout the season. The second factor was the solid corps of good wrestlers. No one stood out above the rest, for the team was a unit. The major event of the season was the Independent Schools Tournament, which St. Albans started this year. This tournament is the second one the School has founded, the first being the Washington Metropolitan Tournament, established by Mr. Wagner in 1953. St. Albans decid- ed to withdraw from the Metropolitan Tournament when it grew too large. In the newly formed Tournament the team finished a strong second behind Episcopal. Jon Arterton f 1401 was the Blues only champion, but Greg Young 11281, Mike Reuss fl4'5l, Bob Hardaway f1'5'5j, and 80 ATHLETICS 1963
