Crimson Harriers Have Opening '44 Workout

Official practice for the 1944 Crimson cross country team got underway yesterday at Soldiers Field as a small squad reported to head coach Jaako Mikkola. At the same time, it was announced that the decathlon cross country race called off last Saturday, will be run this Friday afternoon at 5:15 o'clock. All entrants should report to Dillon Field House at 5 o'clock in order to warm up for the race.

The 3.7 mile handicap course, the wartime Varsity run, was used only once a year in peacetime, to cull the best distance material from the University in a trial handicap meet run at the beginning of the cross country season.
