He is originally from England and has been competing here for the Ann Arbor Track Club. In the following letter to the Daily sports staff he gives a very descriptive view of what cross-country running is all about. You know that everyone gets ner- vous before a race. So you know how all these guys feel, prancing around before the race starts. They all know how fast they are sup- posed to beable to run; who they should beat, and who will most likely beat them. But they shake before the race starts, partly out of the fear that they will run too slowly, and partly out of the antici- pation that by some miracle they will win, or something. They try to look cool as the man with the megaphone introduces them to the spectators. Mostly they look em- barassed. The gun goes, and we are off down the first fairway. Fifteen or twenty guys, two teams, running in a little group which disappears into the fog. Breathless from the initial rush, and from the hill af- ter a half-mile or so. Trying to fig- ure out the good guys on the other team, listening to hear how hard they breath, watching to see if they are struggling yet. Still trying to look cool, to im- press the others; hopingpeople will shout encouragement as you go by, and trying to ignore them when they do. Trying to relax and run faster at the same time; listening to your feet squelching in y o u r soggy shoes. Cross-country, surely the m o s t under-rated and misunderstood sport in town. It's you own thing. There are few games where you are so entirely on your own. You decide if you want to be good or the line. The damp air makes your medium, or just a jogger. You do throat sore, and your body feels the work in proportion to your like a very reluctant and ineffic- aspirations. You go off into the ient machine. country, running, and roaming Where is the smooth rhythm that around the lanes and woods. comes so easily in the country' "... always the same, if you are in front or behind . . . hoping you can get clear of every- one before the end, to avoid that agonizing sprint to the line." i:: } ": tt}' :Y ; :. :"% i "r t. . . . ..:. v r " : .": ": r "". : I Watching the sunset or catching leaves as they fall from the trees, or struggling against the wind. But always thinking of the next race, and the one after that, and the track season in the Spring. Working hard on the track once in a while, when you have to pre- tend it's fun through it really and truly is not. It's a hard grind, sometimes. But then you jog on* the golf-course the next morning and feel so strong and exhilarated you want to reach out and embrace the trees, the golf-course, and the whole world. Turned on, man, for the price of a pair of shoes. And now the reality, the race, which is never fun until it is over. All these people around you, the ones you escaped from in the coun- try lines. The middle of the race, the worst time, the time when you always want to drop out. Now it is a struggle with just one . or two other guys, maybe, but mostly with yourself. Always the same, if you are in front or behind, the same struggle and emotion. Hoping you can get clear of everyone before the end, to avoid that agonizing sprint to lanes? Your friends shout that you are looking great, and you know that they are lying, giving you false hope. Tomorrow will be different. The guys you are fighting now will be beside you again, but relaxed and running slowly. At six-minutes-a- mile you have enough breath to talk, and you can run fifteen or sixteen miles and enjoy it. You can look down on yourself from the tree-tops, a lonely frail figure in the middle of nowhere, with only your own heart-beat to get you back into town. Then lying in the bath for thirty minutes with your lungs aching. Hazy, lazy, and groovy. But now the race again, and you are near the end. It is coming more easily as the finish becomes more imminent. You pull away a bit, and you are on your own, a few yards ahead, worried because you can't see anyone thinking for the first time that you might manage to quicken the pace. One more hill, then running-hard but not smoothly towards the lit- tle group of timers, coaches, and well-wishers. They pat their hands together, probably to keep warm, but it sounds nice anyway. And it is over. You beat the guy you were most worried about, and you can stop and watch the steam rise off your body. You trot about, finding out about how other people ran, congratulating, consoling, un- derstanding. And it is finished for another week-end. If you remembered that awful feeling of pain and weakness you had only fifteen minutes ago, you would never run another race. But what you remember is this mo- ment, when it is over and you know you have fulfilled your hopes. So you will be back again 'next weak for more pain, and one more brief climactic moment. ?" 'i Hines garners laurels for part in Army win COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY Graduate School of Business FOR MORE IWFO, corAcT2 BOB STEWARD By The Associated Press "It's an old axiom in football," says Army Coach Tom Cahill, "that when you're in trouble, you go with your best back." The Cadets followed that axiom to extremes Saturday. They called 4'running plays and gave the ball to Bob Hines on 38 of them. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound senior from Chester, Pa., came through with 202 yards - sixth best per- formance in Army history - in- cludinga 49-yard romp around right end with six minutes left that gave the underdog Cadets an emotional 17-14 triumph over serv- ice rival and nationally ranked Air Force. He also caught four passes. As a result, Hines was named National College Back of the Week Thursday by The Associated Press.

Hines' first big play came late in the first period. He burst over left tackle for 26 yards to get Army out of the shadow of its own goal line, ignited a 90-yard drive that culminated in Kingsley Fink's short plunge for a 7-0 lead. Hines went back to work for real in the third period - his half- time totals were 3 carries for 53 yards - with the score 7-7. Start- ing from the Army 20, Hines went up the middle for six yards, up the middle once more for eight and around left end for four. Then Hines went from hero to goat and back to hero. He fum- bled the ball away at his own 42 and Air Force turned the break in- to a touchdown and a 14-10 lead but withe ine minutes left,. the Cadets were at their own 10 and it was Hines time again. He slashed over right tackle to the 26 and then over left guard to the 38. He took a pitchout around right end to the 41 and cracked over left tackle to the 46. Shaken up on that carry, he let Willie Thigpen lug the ball once to the 50 and then Hines drove over right tackle to the 49. On the next play he took another pitchout around right end and made it all the way to the end zone. An interception with three min- utes halted an Air Force drive at the Army 39 and, after a busted play, Hines carried five straight times, enabling the Cadets to use up most of the remaining time.
