The Northern C alifornia Running Review is published on a monthly basis by the West V alley Track Club. I t is a communication medium fo r a l l Northern C aliforn ia track & fie ld ath letes, and i t covers age group, high school, c o lle g ia te , senior, AAU, and women's events. The NCRR is available at many road races and track meets throughout the area fo r 25 % an issue, or fo r $3-50 a year fo r mailed subscriptions (usually third class unless i t is an unusually thin issu e...th en we send f i r s t c la s s ). A ll WVTC members receive th e ir copies by mail i f th e ir dues are paid up fo r the year.

This paper's success depends on you, the readers, so please send us any pertinent information on the NorCal running scene that you would lik e to see in p rin t. We can always use good photos fo r our publication. They should be good contrast and p r e fe r a b ly black & white. A ll information should be sent to the e d ito r, Nor Cal Running Review, P.O. Box 1551, San Mateo, CA $4401 (Ph. 4l53^2- 3 l8 l). Be sure and give photo cred its, those competing, and the event being contested. Any size print w i l l do, but please do not send the negative i f possible. We w i l l return a l l prints a ft e r ­ wards .

The NCRR is not forwardable normally since i t is mailed 3rd class except on rare occasions. Many of our subscribers have not been gettin g th e ir issues because o f this mistake. *

* + * WARNING * * * To a l l subscribers: This issue marks the end of our third year of publication. Perhaps some o f you can remember when we were the West V alley Newsletter, or maybe even when we gave away our newsletters fre e o f charge and charged $1.00 to cover mailing costs on subscriptions Ii When we started charging $3.50/year and 25% an issue in May of 1970, i t was just enough to cover costs. Now, with a much larger issue, we are making some p r o fits , but only about $25-30 per m onth...certainly not a p rofita b le venture mainly a service. Yes, we have come a long way in just three short years.

BUT. . . I have been noting a disturbing trend in the la st three or four months: our subscriptions are fa llin g o f f ! I Not only are we gettin g fewer new subscriptions, but our renewals are only about 50%:: As a resu lt, our to ta l number of subscribers is f a llin g o ff and we are struggling to meet c o s ts . WHY???? I f you care about the future o f this publication, please take a few minutes to w rite us your comments on what you would lik e to see more o f, or see less o f, or see changed, in this paper. I f the present trend continues, we may be forced to increase our rates or cut back on the size o f our issu es...n eith er o f which we want to do.

The new year w i l l be see­ ing some sweeping changes made in the NCRR's services. We are con­ sidering publishing f u l l race results of a l l lo ca l road races, but we need your help. Your resubscriptions are what keep us a liv e 11

WEST VALLEY TC: As you might have suspected, your fr ie n d ly e d ito r is back from Europe fo r a few days in order to do the November i s ­ s u e ...th en I'm o f f fo r Chicago fo r a month to take some o f our team to the AAU XC Championships and then attend the AAU Convention in Kansas C ity . While I was gone, I think my temporary e d it o r ia l s t a f f did an e x c e lle n t job at tending th is monster I 'v e created ...m y t r i p was made much more pleasant knowing I had such a capable crew at work. Thanks again to Harold DeMoss, A rt Dudley, John Marconi, and Lurana H o e tg e r ...e d ito r s f o r the October issue.

New members: Two crack distance runners joined the club dur­ ing the past month. They are Tom Read, l 6 , o f 41527 Apricot Ln., Fremont (Ph. 656-6462), and Ron Zarate, 21, of 4o8 E. Eighth S t., Apt. 4, Reno, Nevada (Ph. 329-6835). Tom is a student at Mission San Jose High School and just rounded out his cross country season by placing 3rd in the NCS Meet at Lafayette. He also owns best track times o f 880-2:08, m ile-4:31, and 2 mile-9:29. Tom is just a junior. Ron, a student at the U niversity o f Nevada, has track times o f one to fiv e miles as follow s: 4:23, 9 : 32 , 14:20, 19 : 2 7 , and 24:56.

Address changes: Jim McGinnity to 619 Pole Line Rd., #221, Davis, CA 95616; B i l l Scobey to 1682 Calle Turquesa, Newbury Pk., CA 91320 (805-498-7166); Steve Murphy to 812 No. Oklahoma, Lib er­ a l, Kansas 67901; Bob Grubbs to Box 22, Cloran, Hamilton, Univ. o f Oregon, Eugene, Ore. 956l6...other members be sure and n o tify us when you move so y o u 'll continue to get the NCRR & other in fo .

On Sept. 8 , the Cronin's adopted twins (a boy and a girl)... brand new even !! Bill Clark's wife, Ellen, gave birth to a boy a few weeks back, and both are doing fine. Looks like WVTC will have a couple of good father-son combinations in road races about 10 years from now.

Concerning indoor season: The f i r s t indoor meet in the Bay Area this winter w ill be the Examiner Games on the 26th o f January, followed by the Athens In v ita tio n a l (probably 2 weeks la t e r ). I f you are interested in entering these meets (or any other out-ofthe-area m eets)...open competition...and have good enough marks to q u a lify (they are usually quite high) or think you might, then contact Jon Hendershott, 15 Starr Way, Mountain View, CA 9^040--Ph. 964-0657. He w i l l serve as WVTC's indoor contact and can prob­ ably answer most of your questions. We should have a complete l i s t o f indoor meets in our December issue. High school & JC runners w i l l be able to q u a lify fo r the Examiner & Athens meets in d irect competition, probably two weeks before each meet...watch the NCRR fo r further information.

Many o f the club's high school & college athletes have been doing extremely w ell during this cross country season. Probably the most improved runners are Roy Kissin, a 15-year-old soph at San Ramon High, and Jim Van Dine, a freshman at College of San Mateo.

Kissin couldn't break 10 minutes la s t cross country season, but r e ­ corded a s te lla r 9:24 fo r 2 miles on the track in a postal meet on November 4. He only lo s t to two runners a l l season, but only won one race (EBAL Championships)...his losses came quite consistently to team mate Mike Dayton (la s t year's NCS champ), who owns a 9:1^ two mile clocking this season...and to Rich Kimball in the NCS F i ­ nals. He helped his team to a second place NCS fin is h and a 48:29 team postal clocking. Van Dine has been equally impressive on the JC c ir c u it. He has lo s t only a few races a l l year and capped o f f the season with Golden Gate Conference and NorCal JC t i t l e s , win­ ning very convincingly in both. He heads towards the State Meet as one o f the fa v o rite s , es p e c ia lly i f the course is h illy . Jim was only a 9:20 two-miler la st spring. WVTC athletes dominated the NCS Finals with Kissin taking second, new member Tom Read th ird , Mike R u ffatto fourth (he also ran a 9:18.3 postal clockin g), and Rusty Nahirny seventh. In the Pac -8 Meet, Stanford's Jack Bellah and Oregon's Bob Grubbs took 20th and 21st resp ectively (Grubbs fin is h ­ ed l4th in the Pac-8 Northern d iv is io n )...b o th are frosh. Mike Pinocci, attending JC in Texas, took 19th in the National JC Meet.

In the NCAA Small College Championships, Chuck Smead (Humboldt S t .) and John Sheehan (Davis) ran a very impressive 6th and 7 th ...L arry Main reports from Colorado that he's gettin g back into shape and has run a 10:02 two-mile (August) and won a two-mile in the snow la s t month in slow time. Good news from Tennessee. Mike Ryan is gettin g back into competitive shape. He's been on a train in g pro­ gram since ea rly September and hopes to make at least the top 50 at the AAU Meet in Chicago. He's won three races (1.6 m ile, 5 mile; and 15 Km.) in the past month against minor competition, and fe e ls confident o f a f a i r l y good performance on the 25th. Burlingame's Peter Brown won his league meet and should be in the top bunch at the CCS F in als.

While tra velin g in Europe, your ed ito r happened upon a vacant in tersection , and was immediately smashed from the righ t by an in ­ v is ib le South Vietnamese in a bright red MG...in Paris, where else?

R eally though...the guy was v is ib le , I just did n 't see him. The police d id n 't b elieve me. A fte r having my head sewn up and my l e f t knee examined, I was le t loose on the streets once more, my hair a l l crusty with blood. My knee (not my brain) s t i l l has a lo t of water on i t . I f i t doesn't go away soon I ' l l have to get i t tapped and drained. Anyway, I ' l l be out o f action fo r a month or more.
