CROSS-COUNTRY MEN WIN OVER MIDDLEBURY EASILY

Eight Crimson runners, taking every place from second through ninth, were responsible for the University's decisive victory over Middlebury's cross-country team yesterday afternoon by the score of 20 to 49, low score winning. Kelley of Middlebury took first place, winning from W. C. Harrison Jr. '25 by 100 yards.

When the runners started over the five-mile Charles River course at the south end of the Lars Anderson bridge a little after 4 o'clock, the weather was fairly cold, not conducive to fast times. Kelley displayed excellent form throughout the entire distance, while the University men, all in fairly good shape, were bunched most of the race.

The seven men who followed Harrison across the finish line were: R. M. Parker '26, C. A. Harper '26, Edward Gordon '27, L. W. Grossman '26, H. R. Kobes '26, B. R. Cutcheon '26, and W. L. Tibbetts Jr. '26. The last two runners, rated as among the best on the University squad, did not extend themselves, both acting as pacers for the other men.

Kelley was a lone star for the Vermonters. The first four of this teammates across the line placed as follows: Carlson, tenth: Robinson, eleventh: Golnick, twelfth: and Brookins, fifteenth. Only the first five men to finish for each team figure in the scoring.
