NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Varsity cross-country runners placed fifth as a strong Army team raced ahead to its sixth straight victory in the 14th annual Heptagonal championships at Van Cortlandt Park yesterday.

Harold Gerry brought in the Crimson's fastest time, coming in in eighth place. Army, paced by sophomore Lou Olive, took five of the first nine places.

Captain Emil San Soucie, the only other Crimson runner to place in the first 20, finished 17th.

Then came Marsh Childs, 26th; Hubie Marguire, 38th; Bruce Phillips, 44th; Frank Nahigian, 45th; and Bill Engs in the 46th spot.

Olive a speedster from Louisville, Kentucky, finished first in the bulky field as the Cadets won with an impressive point total of 24.

He finished 20 yards ahead of Princeton's Toby Maxwell. Bob Day, captain of the Army team, finished third.

In the team standings, Cornell finished far behind the West Pointers with 89 points. Then, in order, came Navy, 107; Yale, 181; Harvard, 133; Dartmouth, 140; Brown, 160; Princeton, 184; Columbia, 202; and Penn, 251.

This was a brilliant victory for the Cadet squad, which for the first time in four years ran in this meet without their sensational from West Point last spring.

Shea, who scored an unprecedented string of three straight victories in both the Heptagonals and the IC4A meets, graduated from West Point last spring.
