TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, IS 19 Army Wins IC4-A Meet; Cadets Score Upset; Freebairn Leads Lions The West Point cross-country turned in one of the biggest upsets in intercollegiate sports this fall when the Cadets captured the IC4-A meet in New York yesterday. Coach Chick Werner’s Penn State' team finished fifth, only two points behind Syracuse., The all-junior Lion team was led by Bob Freebairn, who finished 13th, two places ahead of Don Ashen felter.

Black Upset Army’s unexpected, victory .in the team championship was not the only upset of the day, how ever. The failure of, Rhode Island State’s Bob Black to retain,, the crown he had won the past two year’s was almost as big a surprise as the conquering of Michigan State. Black finished, far- back in the field, tired and beaten, i Behind Shea came Browning Ross of Villanova in second place. Shea’s .Army teammate, Bob Le wandowski came in third. Besides Freebairn ’ and Ashenfelter; the other Lion runners in scoring pos itions were A 1 Porto, in 31st, Jack St. Clair, in 35th and Bill' Gordon in 41st.' ' The Michigan State team went into the meet an over-whelming favorite to successfully defend its title. Syracuse was rated second. Army was, given a chance .to finish third in a three-way fight with Penn State and Manhattan, The interest in the meet to. Nit tany Lion fans lies mainly in the showing of Bob . Freebairn. The lanky junior is th ! e most improved member of a team which has come a long way this season. His performance yesterday climaxed a drive which has carried him closer and closer to the leader ship of the Nittany runners. The Blue and White team, which Coach • Werner . considers the best he has ever had, lost no honor in its showing today. This year’s IC4-A field was considered to be. among the best to ever run in; the’ meet. The Lions., will now center their attention on the NCAA meet to be held next week in East Lansing, Michigan, home of Michigan State.
