The Gross-Country squad promises to be one of the best in Union history next year. rqdllfxeeaaw ' - Under the capable tutelage of Coach Bill Ketz, a veteran cross country squad com- pleted its 1947 season with a record of three wins and two losses. In addition, valuable experience was gained when the squad com- peted in the IC4A meet held on the large Van Cortland Park course in the Bronx, New York. After the initial opener against the Uni- versity of Vermont was cancelled, the Garnet harriers opened the season on October 18 against R.P.l. With Bob Garlock of Union leading the procession by capturing individual honors, the Dutchmen captured this meet 33-24. The following week, Union walked over the visiting Brooklyn Poly squad with a perfect 15-40 win, the third such win in as many Page Twenty-two years. Six of the seven Garnet runners crossed the finish line abreast to clinch the race. On November lst, the Garnet hill-and- dalers journeyed to XlV1lllZ1IT1StOWl1, where they suffered their First defeat of the season at the hands of the strong Ephmen of Williams Gol- lege. The Purple, boasting the strongest cross country team in its history, edged a 23-32 victory over the locals by capturing the first four slots in the race. Handicapped by the sickness of Captain Newt Culver, the Garnet suffered another setback the following week when the harriers faced the Middlebury harriers. Inclement weather played havoc with the runners, and the meet ended with a 27-28 win for the Ver- monters.
