BUSY WEEKEND FOR
 H. 5. RUNNING SQUAD

Coach Al Anderson's high schooF cross-country athletes will get two op-@ portunities to display their ability on Friday and Saturday of this week. On Friday the Red and Black hill and dalers will meet the Yale Freshmen harriers over a 1-2 mile course in New Haven. And the following day. the Hilltoppers will enter the state championship cross-country in Stam- ford. This race will be over the 34 mile course, and it will be a much, longer distance than the Hilltop boys had ever run before. The meet with the Yale Freshmen was originally slated for Saturday but the roads where the race was to be run will be used for parking cars at the Yale Army footba1 lgame.
 One thing about these meets that Coach Al Anderson is especially de- lighted is that all members of the track roster are eligible. MT Ander- son has expressed his confidence, that the Red and Black boys will score a win over the Eli hill and dale ath- letes, and that Fitzpatrick and Skane will surely finish in the state cham pionships.
 Among the recruits who are ex- pected to make creditable showings are Paul Bucker, Moorey and Johnny Vangor.

 ''WaIking is the greatest of life preServerS," declared BennettO, In talking about his forthcoming l,rograIn. If any Bridgeporter thinks he can endure the walk to the metroolis, BeennettO invites all to accompany him on the hike.
 Mir. Bennetto Is 60 years of age, but ale decares hiking makes llin1 feel quite as frisky as a tyo-year old "cOlt."
