The ninth annual intercollegiate cross-country run will be held at 2 o'clock this afternoon at Princeton, New Jersey. Teams have been entered from Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Pennsylvania Columbia, Syracuse, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The University team arrived in Princeton yesterday morning and took a practice walk over the course in the afternoon. They are staying at the Princeton Inn, and will return to Cambridge immediately after the race.
The Princeton course, over which the race will be held, is three miles long and is covered twice during the race. It includes a large variety of conditions--up and down hill, dirt roads, clear grass, rough fields, and jumps ever brooks and other obstacles.
Each team is composed of not more than nine men, but only the first six to finish will count in the scoring. First place in the race will count one point, second two, and so on, the team scoring the least number of points winning. Individuals finishing first, second, and third will receive gold, silver, and bronze medals respectively. Medals will also be given to the, teams winning first, second, and third places.
Cornell has won the championship for the last five years, and is expected to do so again this year. The University team finished fifth last year, but although the present team is fairly strong, it has been beaten by Yale, which in turn lost to Princeton, so that its chances seem rather doubtful. However, the team has been improving steadily, and should do better than last year.
