CROSS COUNTRY RUNNING.
Much Interest Shown at Yale—Inter-
collegiate Meet.
The great increase of interest shown
this Fall by the University in cross
country running, is partly due to the
efforts of the Yale Cross Country Club,
which was formed last Spring; and
partly to the omission of the usual Fall |
Track games. At the beginning of the
year, the men interested in running were
divided into two squads; that of the
Cross. Country. Club, in »charge*of: J...P.
Adams, 1900, Captain of the Club; and
the Secondary Squad, led by Bascom
Johnson, »1900, Captain of the Track
Team. The Cross Country squad con-
sisted of those members of the Club
intending to enter the University and
Intercollegiate contests, held on Novem-
ber 8-.and November 18, respectively,
and the Secondary Squad of those men
who intended to try for the track team
next Spring. The work of this squad
has consisted of a number of runs held
three times a week, which will be kept
up until cold weather.
The Cross Country Club has been
holding two series of six paper-chases,
starting once a week from the track
house at the Field. One, in competi-
tion for cups given by the Yale News
and the Literary Magazine, was won by
H.-P..Smith;- 1900, first; G. G. Park-
hurst, 1903, second; and W. D. Waldron,
1903, third. The second series is being
held now, with a silver cup as the prize.
An innovation was made by the Club
in holding on Wednesday, November
8, a handicap medal run, which is to be
an annual feature. The course was 6%
miles long, with five brush hurdles four
feet high on each of the seven laps.
The first twelve men finished in the
following order: H. P. Smith, 1900,
scratch, time 35 min. 14 sec.; W.. D.
Waldron, 1903, handicap 30 sec., 35 min.

Three place medals were awarded, and
one time medal to H. P. Smith, who
will have his name engraved on the
Adams Cup. — :
This week will close with the inter-
collegiate cross country championship,
held November 18, over the Morris Park.
~ course near New York, which is one and
one-third miles long. The course has ©
eight hurdles and one twelve-foot water
jump to the lap. There are forty-six
men entered from Yale, Cornell, Prince-
ton, Columbia and the University of
Pennsylvania. This will be the first an-
nual intercollegiate cross country cham-
pionship contest. Last year Yale and
Cornell entered the contests held under
the auspices of the A. A. V., and Yale
won second place and Cornell third, three
points behind Yale.
MEN WHO WILL REPRESENT YALE.
The Yale team will consist of J. P.
Adams, ‘1900,:. Captain; -H. . P. .Smiuth,
1900; S. B. Chittenden, 1902; P. Strong,
1901: B. G. Teel, 1902; G. G. Parkhurst,
1903, and W. D. Waldron, 1903.
Four of Cornell’s seven representa-
tives will be J: Sweet, Captain; A.. O.
Berry, C. C. Torrence and H. T. Coates.
The promising material for the open
places bids fair .to give Cornell the
strongest team she has ever had. Be-
sides this, the team has had ‘a great
deal of practice in running across coun-
try and in steeple chases.
Princeton with J. F. Creegan, Captain
of the track team, will have a very good
chance. Soine of the others will be R.
C. Batchelder, G. A. Chamberlain and
J. M. Perry. Columbia will be repre-
sented by J. B. Smith, Captain; L: G.
Jnursion,. -. Hi. singer. arid =f 0;
Mosenthal. —
Pennsylvania has been practicing
chiefly on the track, with little attention
to longer cross country work. Three
places on the team will be filled by
Alexander Grant, Captain, E. A. Mech-
ling and A. J. Wilson, but some difficulty
will be experienced in filling the remain-
-ing places.
The challenge sent to Harvard for a
dual meet on December 2d, has been
withdrawn, but instead it is expected to
arrange a meet with Cornell on the same
date. It is hoped by the officers of the
Cross Country Club that the impetus
given this year to this form of running
will insure the perpetuation of the club,
and the success of the movement next
year.

Whist Tournament.
The whist season at Yale has opened
this week with a tournament in which
forty men are entered, This is the first.
of two tournaments which® the Uni-
versity Whist Club plans to hold this
year, the second to take place after
Christmas.

President, E. C. Andrews, 1900; Secre-
tary, H. S. McAuley, 1901; Treasurer,
R. B. Tillinghast, 1902, Captain.
Although but one member of last
year’s team is back at College, the pros-
pects for a winning team this year are
fairly bright. Mr. Tillinghast, a mem-
ber of the Cleveland Whist team, will
coach the players.
The matches with MHarvard and
Princeton will be rlayed some time in
April, and in addition to these games
will be arranged with whist clubs in
