1921 HARRIERS PLACED SECOND

Competing against five other freshman teams in the I. C. A. A. A. A. contest at New York Saturday afternoon, the 1921 cross-country runners succeeded in placing second to Syracuse in the team championship and in taking individual honors through the brilliant work of Captain D. F. O'Connell '21, who won first place. Yale 1921 was third in the team score, followed by Pennsylania, Columbia and the College of the City of New York in succession. Syracuse, won the race because its first five runners finished well bunched among the first twelve to cross the line. The team scores were as follows: Syracuse 1921, 33; Harvard 1921, 47; Yale 1921, 80; Pennsylvania 1921, 91; Columbia 1921, 122; College of the City of New York 1921, 151.

At the completion of the first mile of the race over the three-mile Van Courtlandt Park course, O'Connell took the lead and kept it until the end, winning quite easily by about 100 yards over the second runner, J. Simons of Syracuse. O'Connell's time for the distance was 16 minutes, 12 seconds. The next 1921 harriers to cross the finish line were J. E. Nally and F. L. A. Cady, who were seventh and eighth respectively.

The good balance of the 1921 team was shown by the fact that all seven men who made the trip to New York placed among the first 21 runners out of 42 who started.

The names and places of the Freshman harriers follow: 1, D. F. O'Connell; 7, J. E. Nally; 8, F. L. A. Cady; 14, B. W. Boyden; 17, E. A. Weld; 18, A. E. Chambers; 21, C. A. Page.
