THE ACFT WAS DAMAGED DURING A FORCED LANDING IN A PLOWED FIELD AFTER THE ENGINE QUIT. THE STUDENT PILOT WAS ON A SOLO CROSS-COUNTRY AND HAD LANDED ONCE DURING THE FLIGHT BUT DID NOT REFUEL THE ACFT. THE STUDENT HAD INCREASED HIS FLIGHT TIME ON THE 1ST LEG OF THE FLIGHT BY GETTING LOST. WHEN HE CONTACTED HIS INSTRUCTOR BEFORE DEPARTURE FOR HIS RETURN LEGHE DID NOT ADVISE HIM OF THIS DEVIATION WHICH DEPLETED HIS FUEL SUPPLY. THE ACFT RAN OUT OF FUEL 10 MILES SHORT OF DESTINATION.
