Haverford College Cross Country 1940
Coach Haddleton
Captain Dave Poole
After three mediocre seasons the cross country team this year came through a tough schedule undefeated. Victories were scored in dual meets against Lehigh, Johns Hopkins, and Swarthmore, and over Lafayette, Swarthmore, Lehigh, and Johns Hopkins in a five way meet. Bill Velte, only senior member of the team, was low scorer for the year, finishing first in two meets, and second in another. The team's other regular place winners were Captain Dave Poole, Jim Gary, Walt Falconer, and Al Rogers.
