CROSS-COUNTRY RUN

The eighth annual intercollegiate cross- country run will be held this afternoon at Princeton, New Jersey. Teams have been entered from Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania, Cornell, Columbia, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The University team arrived at Princeton yesterday morning and took a practice walk over the course in the afternoon.

In previous years the race has been held over the Travers Island course, and is being held at Princeton this year for the first time. The Princeton course is three miles long, and is covered twice during the race. It includes a large variety of conditions--uphill, downhill, dirt roads, clear grass, rough fields, and jumps over brooks and other obstacles.

Each team is composed of seven men, but only the first four to finish for each team 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 members of the teams winning first, second, and third places.

Cornell has won the championship for the last four years, and is expected to win again this year. Last year the University team won second place in the meet, but M. S. Crosby '08 is the only member of last year's team who is competing this year, and judging from the race with Technology on November 16, the prospects are not as good as last year.
