OTTERS WIN OAC CROWN
Cross Country Team Wins First-Ever Title . •
OAC Crown is School's First Since 1978
By Craig Merz
Total domination.
That is the only way to describe Otterbein's performance at the 198 0 Ohio Athletic Confer ence championship cross country meet. The Otters won the meet by one of the largest margins since the first championship was held in 1931.
Not only did Otterbein win its firs t-ever cross country title but the individual champion for the first time was an Otter runnerjunior Jeff Kneice.
Add to that the fact that the Reserve race individual winner was freshman Brian Wenger and you have all the ingredients for one of the greatest days in Otterb ein's sports history.
The OAC title. capping a fine season which saw the Otters record their first unbeaten dual record ever, is the first step in reaching the NCAA Division Ill Nationals in Rochester, N.Y., on Nov: 22.
The Otters and the three teams which finished behind them have qualified for the Regionals at Hope College in Holland, Mich., Nov. 15. By winning the conference title the cross country team gave Otterbein its first OAC championship in any sport since 1978 when the basketball team won the confer ence tournament.
The meet was held under clear skies and cool temperatures at the Delaware Country Club. A total of 90 runners representing 13 conference schools started. Only one team and one man would be recognized as the top team and top runner, respectively. That runner and that team wore the tan and cardinal.

Otterbein was cast in the role as favorite going into the meet. Yet, know one expected them to win so handily. Led by Kneice, the Otters placed five runners among the top eight.in the conference and recorded an amazing low score of 21.
Second-place Baldwin Wallace; the defending champions, was second with 68 points. Other Regional qualifiers were Ohio Wesleyan with 116 points. and Ohio Northern with 138.
The 21 points may be the second lowest ever scored in the championship meet, though records of the such are not officially kept. It is known, however, that the lowest points scored were by Mt. union in 1974. They scored just 16 points and went on lo win the Nationals.
Kneice recorded a time of 25:39 for the five-mile course. He took the lead from the frontrunners Rick Swiderski of Baldwin-Wallace and Wesleyan's John Timmons at the three mile mark and for the most part held onto the lead.
Kneice pulled away from Swiderski in the last mile and won by 13 seconds.Timmons faded to se�enth place. It was an onslaught of cardinal jerseys which folowed Kneice through the finish.
Junior Rob Rose took third with a time of 26:00. H� improved on his seventh place finish of a year ago. Coming in right behind Rose was senior Rick Miller, just one second later.
Still, the Otters were not done. Sophomore Mark Burns survived a fall at about three miles to take the fifth spot with a 26:04. The scoring was rounded out by senior Bob Gold who placed eighth with a 26:14.
Senior Mike Cook took 17th overall in 26:31 and junior Hal Hopkins was 26th with a 27:02. So dominant was Otterbein that Cook's and Hopkin's places could have been added to the team score and tjle Otters still would have won by four points.
The Reserve team got the day off to a good start by placing six

Attack Victim Describes Ordeal In Hanby
By Eric Hall
An Otterbein College student was attacked Saturday morning in a residence hall. The victim. a woman residing in Hanby Hall. described the ordeal
"I got up at 8 o'clock and walked to the bathroom.While I was in a stall I heard someone come in, and then turn around and walk out. On the way back to my room I had to pass a phone booth.
I looked in and saw someone dressed in black with a white ski mask and gloves. I froze. The individual came after me and pushed me down and began hitting repeatedly, and at the
top. I was screaming the whole time and within a matter of seconds the individual ran off.
The attacker was described as being approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing about 130 pounds.
The victim went on to say, "I couldn't tell if he was black or white, or a man or a woman. The ski-mask covered their face and the turtle-neck sweater covered their neck. They also had on black sweatpants and a pair of white tennis shoes and they never said one word."
The victim reported that after
the attacker left she sat and cried for about 5 minutes before she went back to her room to call her head resident, who in turn called security and the .police.
After the police arrived they had the victim fill out a report while they searched the building
In a related incident, there was an earlier- sighting of a man in Hanby around 3 a.m. But according to Head Resident Nancy Webb, the intruder did not fit the description, in any way, of the attacker and was assumed to be a student leaving the dorm after designated hours.
An extensive investigation, however, was conducted by Webb and Otterbein security which revealed nothing unusual.
In an interview conducted Tuesday, both Head Resident Webb and Associate Dean of Students Dave Peters stressed the increase precautions taken by security. Webb commented, "This is our highest priority. There are security measures being taken, visible and non ° visible, and· I assure you, the college is doing all they can to prevent a similar situation from occuring.

Thoughts to cure the post-election blues
Congrats to Runners
Sometimes it is hard to be objective. This is the case as the T and C Staff congratulates the Cross Country team for its OAC championship.
Since I am a member of the Cross Country team I would like to extend the·team's thanks to all fans who have supported the team.
By far, Otterbein had the most fans as well as having the most boisterous followers. Believe me, it was a great motivating factor to have the great support, especially down the stretch.
The only complaint was that there wasn't more school support shown. As one runner put it, "We wanted to share it with everyone." Still, there were many alumni, faculty and former Otter runners on hand. Well represented also were Jonda and Pi Sig.
It is unfortunate that this paper may be the first some have heard about the win. The local dailies have a certain taboo against anything wi�hout "OSU" in- front of it
Election Thoughts
The elections are over, thank God! No more of those nauseating commercials. But seriously, now that the results are in let's hope that the presidential transition can be a smooth one.
The people have chosen Ronald Reagan by a convincing margin. It is riow his responsibility to uphold the faith the majority of Americans have shown in him. The results showed that idle promises and inaction will mean a quick and decisive exit from the White House. Only time will tell if Reagan can do the job the people have mandated him to do. The question is, will people give him time?
Towers Cleanup
It is nice to see that Towers Hall has finally been patched up. I wonder about the timing of the remodeling efforts (a,s do many_.at the : faculty). The renovation was completed just in time for High School Day last week and the Trustee meeting this weekend. A coincidence?
One question: Why are the walls painted the same ugly color as before? After all, this is not a penal institution.

Pleasure With Business for President Kerr
By Jim Brown
After nearly a month in the Orient, President Kerr and his wife have returned home to the "quiet peaceful village".
The trip, conducted by a group of United Methodist college presidents and leaders. concerned mostly exploring educational facilities in China, Japan and South Korea. There were also some enjoyable highlights.
An all-day trip to the ancient Great Wall was one of several guided tours given by the Chinese. They also visited Hangzhou's famous "Hanging Gardens" among other more
popular Chinese attractions. China is opening itself much more now, according to Kerr. and relaxing its cultural restrictions. And with this relaxing of restrictions people are flocking to Christian churches.
There are approximately �0 churches of different denominations open in China now. One church in Canton gives the same service at least three times. Kerr says if the service varies at all from the first one people would stay on for all three. Thus. the pastors are forced, because of time and
CPR Cours e To Be Offered
On November 20th, the Residence Hall Advisory Board will be offering a course in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. This course will teach emergency treatment of a person when the heart stops beating and when they stop breathing. The course will also certify persons to give CPR.
The American Heart Association of Ohio will be instructing the course from 6 -10 p.m. in the game room of the Campus Center The course is limited to 20 people.
Anyone interested in learning CPR is urged to sign up in the Student Personnel Office by November 17th.

A seminary, closed during the Cultural Revolution, is being reestablished in Nanjing. The Chinese have just recently published the "New Testament" in their own characters, as an event which would not have happened two or three years ago, Kerr emphasized.
Contrary to other Communist countries. the Chinese allowed the group virtually free access to roam about the cities on their own.
Kerr said that the universities seemed to constantly be constructing and expanding. Everywhere he went the people were energetic and enthusiastic

about their work
During such excursions, all members. including the Kerrs, were approached by friendly, English-speaking Chinese eager to talk to Americans. Many of the Chinese were not students but, rather, regular factory workers.
Now back home in his position of President of Otterbein, Kerr seemed as energetic and enthusiastic as the people he discussed.
Next week a look at student lifestyles in the Orient.

A DAY AT THE RACES
OTTERS RUN AWAY WITH CHAMPIONSHIP
Cross Country Photos By: D.R. Tiberi Scott Smith Mike Belek
·"We had the potential to dominate but I wouldn"t have thought we could do it."
That was the assessment of Otterbein Cross Country Coach Dave Lehman. He reflected on his squad's masterful performance at the OAC Ch,ampionship Saturday.
"We had three great races, one above average, two good and one average one from our varsity."
Lehman was stiff hoarse Monday from yelling during the reserve and varsity races. ··1 was nervous before the Reserve race. I wasn't as nervous before the Varsity race because so much was going on," Lehman said.
"By the four mile mark I was more anxious to get the race over because I knew we had it won."
The former half-mile record holder at Otterbein downplayed his role in bringing the Otters their first cross country title. "It was a super day for our program. It points out that it takes personnel to win. My coaching wasn't much different."
Lehman in his eleventh year of coaching. praised the efforts of everyone on the team. "We have 17 good runners. We could take any of our top eight and scored any five of them and won the meet."
He pointed out that eight Otters were in the top 26. That number included freshman Brian Wenger, who won the Reserve Race.
"Wenger ran one of the best races I've seeri. It was·a good smart race and he destroyed his competition."
Lehman felt the efforts of the Reserve team helped to spur the Varsity. "Wenger's race and the efforts of the first six or seven Reserve runners were a positive factor on the Varsity."
He said that the victory did not hit him immediately. "It didn't sink in until five minutes after the race when I started walking to congratulate the guys. I almost got emotional.
"It will take a few years to realize the magnitude of the win," Lehman said of the victory which was more impressive than Ronald Reagan's triump over Jimmy Carter in terms of sheer dominance. "In the last decade we only had about seven guys finish in the top ten. Saturday we had five."
Lehman cautioned that the season is only "one-third over." He cited the Regionals and Nationals as the next two stages in the most successful season in Otterbein history.

Forecaster Picks Cards To Win Over Princes
Heading into the final week of regular season Ohio Conference football action, it looks as though mighty Baldwin-Wallace has the edge on the conference title and will move on toward the Division Ill national playoffs.
The national powers will have a few more weeks to tighten up the polls before bowl time while the NFL is just past the halfway mark. in its season.
The NFL and college ranks were both very cooperative in helping improve my credibility as 16 of the 22 winners swung my way for a .722 average. The seasonal total was raised to 84 of 133 games for a new percentage of .639.
So much for the stats, here's what's going to happen this week:

Kneice
Followed Strategy To Win Title
By Craig Merz
An athlete must have a game plan before entering a contest. Keeping to that strategy could make ·the difference between winning and losing. Jeff Kneice knew what he wanted to do. As -a result he is the Ohio Athletic Conference Cross Country champion.
The junior from Columbus Northland said he was pleased with his pre-race strategy and the fact that he followed it. "I ran very smart. I wasn't planning on going out hard," Kneice said. "I was going to run next to (sophomore teammate Mark) Burns."
Burns was one of the premeet favorites for the individual title. The two other favorites were Rick Swiderski of BaldwinWallace and John Timmons of Ohio Wesleyan. Swiderski and Timmons took off in the lead and opened a huge lead over a contingent of Otter runners.
"I saw Swiderski and Timmons out in front early. At that point I wasn't thinking of
running for the individual title," Kneice said. "I was thinking of the team title."
The leaders' gap closed at about the three mile mark. It was at that time that Burns took a fall on the gravel portion of the course. He got back up but was further behind Kneice.
"I saw Swiderski coming back to me at the three mile mark," Kneice said. "When Burns fell it left me alone."
Finally, at 100 yards past three miles, Kneice took the lead for the first time.
"I was going nuts emotionally when I got into the lead," said Krfeice, who as a freshman finished fifth in the conference.
"When Swiderski caught me I said 'Now I've got to run harder.' "
Kneice and Swiderski were stride for stride coming up on the four mile mark. Timmons had faded and was not to be a factor the rest of the way. As the coleaders came out of the woods with just over a mile to go Kneice started to take-command.
"When I came out of the woods there must have been
300 Otterbein people there. That really motivated me. I knew he was mentally tired. Once I got into the lead I couldn't wait to get in the chute and jump up and down."
Kneice did not have to wait long. He extended his lead_ over
the last mile and crossed the lin e in 25:39, 13 seconds ahead of Swiderski.
Defense Shut s Down Offense Explodes in 34-0 Win
By Dan Hughes
The Oberlin Yeomen came to Westerville Saturday with the conference's second-leading runner in Ron Stevenson and dreams of upsetting Otterbein in its last home game.
What they found, however, was "lights-out" play by the Cardinal defense and an offensive lightening bolt in freshman halfback Jim Smith in a 34-0 Otterbein victory.
"We didn't feel th.ey had the ability to get outside on us, so we jammed them inside," said Head Coach Rich Seils while describing the Card defensive strategy.
Junior safety Fred Morgan, who keyed on Stevenson throughout the game, led the Card defense, which held
Oberlin to a paltry 105 yards in total offense. Stevenson, who was removed from the game in the second half, was held to 33 yards.
Seils also cited the play of defensive back Joe Krumpak, whose 34-yard return of an interception in the third quarter gave the Cards their third score.
Smith thrilled the Card faithful late in the first half when he used his speed and cutting ability to bolt 76 yards for a score.
"(Halfback Chris) Roark did a good job of sustaining on the end," said Smith. "I just turned it upfield and hoped their were no flags." Smith finished as the game's leading rusher with 102 yards on 11 carries.
That score, combined with a
Oberlin;
one-yard dive by quarterback Scott Gasser, gave Otterbein a 14-0 lead at the half.
The Cards continued to roll in the second half with Krumpak's interception return and two fourth quarter drives by the offense.
Quarterback Brook McDonald hit tight end Steve Hakes with a 15 v.ard TD pass after a 75 yard drive to increase the score to 270. Kirk Beach finished the rout when he dashed 33 yards for the final TD wit� 2:38 remaining in the game.
This week Otterbein travels north to close the season against Heidelberg. The Student Princes, who are 3-5 this season, feature the passing of QB Dean Supan. "He's the best pure-passer in the conference," says SeiIs. "We 'II have to stop him."
Kneice's triumph was the first individual winner in the con erence meet for an Otterbein runner. Add to that the Otters first team championship ever and you have a memorable day "It was one of the biggest days of my life, winning the team championship. The individual win was just icing on the cake."
