THE CROSS-COUNTRY TEAM.

While the football team is striving for victory on Yale Field this afternoon, the University cross-country team will contend for the Intercollegiate Championship at Ithaca. For the first time since the Intercollegiate run was established the Harvard team is picked to win. In the first race of the year the team won a hard-earned victory over the Cornell team, the Intercollegiate champions for the past three years. The "clean sweep" in the Yale race a week later is not only one of the greatest victories in the history of Harvard athletics, but is a feat unprecedented in the annals of cross-country running. Sure of its strength but not over-confident, the team which will today endeavor to wrest from Cornell the title which she has held ever since the Intercollegiate Cross-Country Run was inaugurated, is the strongest which has ever represented Harvard.

To Captain Lawless and the men on the team we extend our best wishes for success in this final contest of the season.
