Also, for the first year, freshmen became eligiblep and three frosh Worked into the opening line-up. After winning their first two games over Bucknell and Western Maryland, Lady Luck turned her back, and the Booters dropped five straight, including one-goal heart- breakers to Lehigh, Drexel, and powerful Temple. Then starting Operation Salvage , the team came roaring back to win their final three encounters. With a record of five wins and one defeat in conference play, the Booters won the championship of the Southern Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference, and their total of 21 goals for the season was one short of the highest ever scored by a Delaware team. The team's chances for the coming season look very good, as only lack Iester and Don Vansant, in addition to the Co-captains, will be missing from this year's com- bine, and the young squad should improve. Andy Schmidt and lack Kinter, two mainstays of the team, were elected co-captains for '52, Kinter plays full- back and was on the All-Conference team in 1950. Schmidt, a transfer student from Maryland who was in- eligible until this year, was high scorer with seven goals, followed by DosSantos with four. Ui O O O ' UI ll!

CROSS COUNTRY ROUNDED OUT THE FALL SPORTS A A The -Cross Country team, on the peak of an up- surge at the University of Delaware, turned in the best record of any fall sport with five victories in six starts in dual competition. This is one of the best records the sport has ever seen. Capt. Stan Hughes led the team in points with 68, followed by Bo Fouracre with GO and Bill Reybold, 40. Beybold also provided one of the highlights of the season when he smashed the record by running the 4173 mile Newark Country Club course in the dazzling time ot 20 minutes and l7 seconds. The Harriers opened their season with a one- point win over .Swarthmore and then took one- sided victories over Iohns Hopkins and F. CS M. Then, in their fifth meet, Delaware lost to a powerful Pitt team in Pittsburgh as they raced in eight inches of snow. In the Middle Atlantic Championships they finished Sth out of fourteen teams and then closed out their season with a one-sided win at Albright. It appears that the sport will continue its suc- cesses, since only Hughes will be graduated. Coaches Steers and Bernauer are to be con- gratulated on a fine season.
