CORNELL TO KEEP TROPHY

Permanent Possession of Cross-Country Cup Goes to Thirteen-Time Winner

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Cornell cross-country team by winning the intercollegiate race at Van Cortlandt Park this fall has gained permanent possession of the trophy offered by the I. C. A. A. A. A. to the team first taking the championship five times. Cornell has won thirteen of the fifteen intercollegiate cross-country runs, but the cup was not offered until 1908 when the run was taken over by the I. C. A. A. A. A. It was forgotten at Cornell that four legs had previously been won upon the cup and the announcement of permanent ownership has come as a complete surprise.

Cornell has also won four intercollegiate track meets and will make a strong bid again this spring. Pennsylvania is the only other college with four legs on the track cup. Either college, winning the intercollegiate meet next spring will gain permanent possession of that trophy.
