Tufts, Holy Cross Trim Harriers in 3-Cornered Meet

Harvard's harriers trailed Tufts and Holy Cross yesterday afternoon at Franklin Park, lifting the lid on their 1948 cross country schedule. In addition to a slow course, a truck the runners were following led them 170 yards out of the way and a Tufts freshman fainted just after the start of his race, which went to the Crimson Yardlings.

The Varsity contest, a four and a quarter mile test, went to Max Schafiler of Tufts, who was clocked in 23:24.8 minutes. For the Crimson, Nat Carieton was the first to cross the finish line, placing sixth. Joe Leming took eighth, John Cogan twelfth, Dick White thirteenth, and Joe Rosen fifteenth. The final score was 27-43-54.

Harvard triumphed in the freshman jog by 22-38, with Dave Gregory winning for the Crimson in 19:05 over a three and a quarter mile route.
