HARVARD LOSES TO CORNELL

Outclassed by the strong and well-balanced Cornell team, the University harriers went down to a 42-64 defeat on the Belmont course Saturday. The feature of the race was the running of T. C. McDermott, the Ithacan captain, who, covering the course in 34 minutes, 23 3-5 seconds, came within less than a minute of breaking the record for the course made by Overton of Yale in 1914. J. W. Cambell, also of Cornell, crossed the tape 22 seconds later, leading B. Lewis '20 by a scant three yards.

McDermott and Lewis took the lead from the gun. As the race settled down Cambell and Stanton of Cornell and G. F. Wason '20 drew ahead of the mass of runners. After the three-mile mark Stanton and King, another Ithacan, passed Wason. From then on the leaders of the race kept their positions, except that Cambell wrested second place from Lewis in the last mile of the race. F. G. Bemis '22 ran splendidly, working up from the last group to eighth place. Coach Farrell, in speaking of the race, said that the team had showed great improvement since last Saturday, and if they made a corresponding gain in the coming race they would give Yale a close struggle for the honors next Saturday at New Haven. The team, he explained, has still a tendency to run too hard in the first of the race, not conserving their strength for the final mile.

The names of the first ten men follow in order: T. C. McDermott, Cornell; J. W. Cambell, Cornell; B. Lewis '20, Harvard; J. L. Dickinson, Cornell; I. H. Stanton, Cornell; C. H. King, Cornell; G. F. Wason '20, Harvard; F. G. Bemis '22, Harvard; T. G. Ames '20, Harvard; J. E. Nally '21, Harvard.
