Last year, Schoenebeck was one o£ three stars on the un beaten freshman squad, finishing in a tie for first with team mates Ed Moran and Fred Kerr in both frosh meets. This season, he has rapidly ad justed himself to varsity action,' becoming one of the Lion main-' stays along with Moran and Kerr.; Schoenebeck said that he did not find the transition from fresh man to varsity running to be very different. He said that “you get the foundation during your fresh man season and build yourself up for varsity action. The biggest difference is the competition—it’s a lot tougher.” Clem called the Cornell team the one the Lions had to get under their belts. 'That meet did a lot for the confidence and spirit of'the team."—he said. "It was the one to start out with." He readily admitted that he had the usual butterflies before the Cornell encounter. He said that it was only natural since it was his first varsity meet and the team was running on a strange course. In talking about the race it self. Schoenebeck said that most of the credit for his showing should go to Kerr who helped ' him immensely by giving him encouragement when he needed J it. He said that Kerr was a great aid in his getting over the hump. According to Schoenebeck, var sity running does not change an individual’s plans for a race. ‘The big thing is learning how to pace yourself for the five miles,” he said. “However,” he added, “there are races when you have to for get about pacing if you want to win.” The youthful sophomore had nothing but praise for his. two college coaches. Werner and Norm Gordon. 'They get a lot out of us. They are not only good coaches, but also show a good deal of concern about you as well as your performances." he said. Werner also had some praise for Schoenebeck. He described' his promising harrier as a depend-! able runner who can always be' counted on to give his best ’at all, times. | He said that Schoenebeck was one of the hardest workers on the team and always trained him self diligently. With two years, of varsity run ning ahead of him. the Lions look for better things to come. Know ing CTem, he will try- hard not to disappoint them. I —VINCE CAROCCI!
