Cross Country Runs

The cross country team is already making active preparations for meets, which will be held next month. As track work is now over for the season, Mr. Lathrop will devote most of his attention to the cross country squad, and the work will be prosecuted vigorously. Runs will start from the Locker Building Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 4.15. A. King 3L. will be the leader. For the benefit of those otherwise engaged on the days of the regular runs, a squad will also run under the leadership of C. A. Sutherland '06 on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4.15. There will be a Saturday run at an hour to be agreed upon by those who take part in it.

Harvard will enter a team of ten men in the dual meet with Massachusetts Institute of Technology, November 11, and a team of six or seven man in the Intercollegiate Cross Country meet at Travers Island on November 24.

As there are but three men eligible, who have been on any previous cross country team, there is ample opportunity to new material. The squad is much smaller than in former years, and every one not engaged in some other branch of athletics is urged to come out. Two squads will be formed, one fast and the other slow. The pace of the slow squad will be kept down to suit beginners, so that no one need fear of lacking sufficient ability. These runs are of inestimable advantage to men who intend to run the half, the mile and the two mile in the spring. Trials will be held for the team about November 1. The following week there will be a cross country race with first, second third prizes for men who fall to make the team.
