CORNELL WON CROSS-COUNTRY

The thirteenth annual intercollegiate cross-country run held at the Brookline Country Club Saturday morning was won by Cornell for the tenth consecutive time, with 48 points. The University team, handicapped by the loss of H. P. Lawless '13, was second, ten points behind, and Pennsylvania, Dartmouth and Technology were third, fourth and fifth, with 125, 127 and 129 points, respectively.

J. P. Jones, of Cornell, holder of the world's amateur mile record and winner of last year's intercollegiate cross-country race, was the individual winner in the time of 34 minutes, 41 3-5 seconds. T. S. Berna of Cornell, who was second in last year's race and winner two years ago, was second, about 30 yards behind Jones, and W. M. McCurdy of Pennsylvania was third.

P. R. Withington '12, the first University man to finish, took fifth place, a short distance behind P. S. Harmon of Dartmouth; F. W. Copeland '13, was seventh; R. St. B. Boyd '14, eleventh; F. W. Blackman '14, fourteenth, and H. M. Warren '13, twenty-first. These five men scored for the University.

The course was of the regular intercollegiate length, six miles, and consisted of three irregular loops, the first about three miles long and the others about a mile and a half each. The start and finish were in front of the grandstand. Owing to the rain Friday and the frost Saturday morning, the footing was very poor. In some places the ground was covered with mud and puddles of water, and in others was very treacherous from the thawing of frozen surfaces.

Only three men of the seventy entered failed to appear at the starting line, and shortly after 11 o'clock sixty-seven men were sent away. For the first half-mile the squad kept pretty well together, but from this point on they began to stretch out. At the head of the first loop, a mile and a half from the start, a group of about ten, among whom were Jones, Berna and Withington, were in the lead. These three continued to keep together, Withington generally setting the pace, until after the four mile mark was passed. Then Jones took the lead and began to lengthen out the distance between himself and Berna, and Berna in turn began to gain on Withington. Before long Withington had dropped behind McCurdy, and in the last half mile was passed by Harmon.
