Hare and Hound Runs.

Next week the regular fall hare and hound runs will begin. The start of these runs will be made at the Carey Building instead of at the Gymnasium as formerly. Arrangements will probably be made for using the Carey Building for lockers and baths while the Gymnasium is being repaired.

On Thursday of this week a preliminary run will be held in order to break in the men who have not been training. The start will be made at the Carey Building at 4 o'clock, and the run will be up Massachusetts avenue for about a mile.

For the benefit of new members of the University it may be well to explain these hare and hound runs a little more fully.

The runs are intended chiefly as a means of out-door exercise for men who are not on any of the football teams. The distances are not long at first, so that men with little previous training may enter the runs safely. As the season goes on the runs are made longer. Two of the fastest runners among those entered act as hares. They are given a certain time start and then the other men set out after them. The first two hounds to reach home are appointed hares for the next run. Toward the end of the season the runs are often from five to ten miles in length, and are laid across the country, and through neighboring towns.
