Cross Country Squad Runs 7th in Ivy Meet

Varsity harrier inexperience was revealed last Saturday when the Crimson runners went down to defeat in seventh place against the powerful squads of six other Ivy League colleges in the eighth running of the heptagonal races in Van Cortlandt Park, new York. The Middies from Annapolis won the nine way meet in spite of the talented running of Army's Frederick J. Knauss, who took first places.

Trailed only by Princeton and Pennsylvania, the Mikkolamen scored 172, placing their first man, Huna Rosenfeld, in the twentieth scoring position. John Cogan, Ray Brown, Hal May, and Charles Worth scored for the Crimson in that order. Captain Frank Gurley developed a serious stitch in the middle of the race and was able to finish only sixth among his teammates.

Knauss covered the five mile course in 27:23, receiving stiff competition from Richard Hall of Navy, James Randall from Yale, and last year's winner from Dartmouth, jack Hanley. Army's team was edged out of winning the meet by a mere eight points.

Harrier Hal May, a consistent Crimson placer this fall, stepped on a nail in the middle of the course, was forced to throw his track shoe on the side of the trail and went ahead with one bare foot to place fourth among the Varsity squad.
