Practice for Cross-Country Squad

The University cross-country squad began its actual preparation for the coming races on Monday with a run around Soldiers Field. Yesterday afternoon the Chestnut Hill course, which was laid out last year, was run over for practice. Today a six-mile walk will be taken. The program for the rest of the week will probably be light running tomorrow, and another long run on Friday.

The squad consists of about twenty-five men. Five of these, G. R. Harding '11, P. C. Heald '11, H. Y. Masten '10, E. Parson '11, and W. P. Rogers '11, are veterans of last year's team. H. Jaques, Jr., '11, winner of last year's dual races, will not be able to compete this year, and has been appointed coach of the team. M. H. Whitney '09, last year's captain, will assist.
