ITHACA, N. Y., Nov. 5, 1916.--The Cornell cross-country team defeated the University runners at Cornell yesterday with 34 points to the University's 75. With a team only one man of which was a regular a year ago, this was the most successful accomplishment in distance running for Cornell since Moakley became coach. The Ithacans sent seven men across the finish line. Wenz, McDermott, and Dresser had scored before G. A. King '18 of the University reached the tape.
Wenz, winner of the individual honors, ran a fine race throughout. He took the lead at the beginning and set the pace all the way. The runners got off well together, but soon after they climbed the first hill they began to stretch out. From that time the Cornellians drew away, only G. A. King '18 and R. W. Babcock '17 remaining, within striking distance. The finish of the race was in the Cornell stadium and the appearance of Wenz, who finished 70 yards ahead, was the signal for a demonstration.
The summary:
1. L. E. Wenz, (C), 34 min., 24s.
2. T. C. McDermott, (C), 34 min., 34s.
3. I. C. Dresser, (C), 34 min., 47s.
4. G. A. King '18, 34 min., 58s.
