Loucks had undergone an op eration on this nose a few days ago, which irritated him slightly but the plucky leader ran one of the best races he has ever staged. Keane Praises Penn State Speaking of the setback Coach Tom Keane had the highest praise for the Lion squad and for Nate Cartmdl, Lion conch. “The better team won. I have no alibi Youi men ran hard er and faster than Syiacuse and vic tory for you was inevitable. I’m sat isfied that no matter what Loucks had done that Cox would have beat en him. He’s a great lad and Nate has a wonderful team',” Oartmell commended his proteges and was well pleased with the show ing of Cox, who broke the course rcc pid by fifty seconds, and George Off enhauscr who finished third. Both are sophomores. He explained that Captain Fouracrc had an off day or he would have finished better than seventh “It was a thrilling battle but Bill was the master. After meet ing Pitt out there Saturday I hope we can race some team over the Van Cortland park course to get in shape for the Intcrcollegiates.” Cox Leads From Start At the gun Cox jumped into the lead.
