ished sixth in the national cham

Block 11th.
In the IC4-A’s Denslow was

and Townsend to finish higher
in the individual standings that
cost the Spartan’s the IC4-A
championship: Townsend was not

indication that they will be just
as strong this year by winning
their first two meets this season.

ran off with top honors—Michi

second in 20:29, Jones third in
20:34, Wheeler fourth in 20:56, and
Block sixth in-21:56. However, the
Buckeyes are not noted for hav

• Commenting on the Spartan
squad, Assistant Coach Norm
Gordon' said that they are “the
Oklahoma of cross-country—po
wer, power, power.”
However, Gordon said that
their record is not going to scare
the Lions out of the meet. He
pointed out that the Lions had
met some strong Michigan State
squads before and come out the
winner.

Munn Would Like
Sooner Series
EAST LANSING, Mich., Oct. 23
OP) —Michigan State athletic di
rector Biggie Munn said today he
would like to schedule a football
series with Oklahoma.
Munn said, however, it would
be “impossible” to talk about a
10-year contract as one report of
the projected series had it.
“We’re waiting for the Big Ten
schedule meeting in December to
find out what is decided on'the
round-robin conference schedul
ing for 1959 and 1960,” Munn said.
