n yEW YORK, Nov. l6-The East
M hasn't been able to do any
u thing by sheer weight OF
numbers about regaining its
prestige in the sport of cross-country
running. but it seems to have devel-
oped few hardy individuals who can
cope with the teams that come East
yearly from Michigan State College.
The East. represented by Howard w.
WEIGH. a tall, skinny-legged lad from
Johannesburg, N Y, and Cornell, re-
gained the individual title In the In
tercollegiate A. A. A. A. championships
at Van Cortland Park yesterday. II
there had been one more Syracuse
runner-up with the crowd it would
have had the team title back.
As 1t was Michigan State retired
the cup which had been in competition
since 1913 with the low total of 50
points for its fifth consecutive team
victory. The Spartans also had taken
the Individual crown four years In q
row before Welch came home.
Welch Third Last Year.
WELCH was discovered" as a run
ner in his sophomore year at
Cornell and in three seasons has made
good In big way. He was third last
year when Kenneth Waite of Michi-
gan State took the cross-country title
and in the spring took the intercol-
legiate 2-mile crown.
Yesterday he ran 4 steady race over
the rain-soaked course and had little
trouble outlasting every rival but
Charles Southland Of Syracuse. They
came into the last mile almost on
even terms, but WEIGH pulled away in
the last 200 yards to win by l second
or about 8 yards. Welch was timed
in 1854 for the miles
Trailing Southard by about $50
yards came his teammate, Jesse Cavi-
leer; behind them Donald Smith OF
Maine. Waite and Dick Frey of Michi-
gan State, 1887 freshman winner.
Syracuse also took twelfth and thir-
teenth places with Harry Sentin and
Stanley Romanoski, but couldn't get
NTH runner close enough. Carl
Hahn finished fortieth, thirty-ninth
as the team event was scored, but in
the meantime Michigan State had
taken IA, IS and Is with Art Green,
Harold Sparks and Gerard Boss, for
the low total.
