CORNELL TEAM FAVORED TO WIN

Strong Teams Entered in Contest at New Haven on Saturday.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The University cross-country team will compete in the intercollegiate cross-country championship run on Saturday at New Haven. The race will start at 11 o'clock, the course beginning just out-side the new Bowl and ending on the running track inside. Thirteen teams have entered, the list comprising Yale, Cornell, Princeton, Brown, Colby, College of the City of New York, Columbia, Dartmouth, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Penn. State, the University of Pennsylvania, Syracuse, and the University.

Out of this list of entries the exceptionally well-balanced team that is representing Cornell this fall easily stands out as the most likely candidate for the title. The Cornell team has shown conclusively that it has no equal in the country at present and it is conceded by its rivals that it is principally a question of the size of the margin by which the team will be victorious. Windnagle, Hoffmire, Potter, and Speiden are all men of remarkable ability and each has a good chance of being first man home.

The race for second place will probably be closely fought out by the University, Yale, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The previous work of these teams indicate that they are very evenly matched. Overton of Yale is exceptionally good, and may give the leaders a hard race for first honors. The University of Pennsylvania and Dartmouth also have strong teams and should make good showings.

University Runners Chosen.

As a result of the final cross-country trials held yesterday for the University runners over the 6-mile course at Belmont, the following men will go to New Haven for the Intercollegiate cross-country meet Saturday morning: B. S. Carter '15, R. H. Davison '17, K. E. Fuller '16, H. G. MacLure '15, C. Southworth '15, R. T. Twitchell '16, G. L. Wilson '15 and B. V. Zamore '15. The men will leave for New Haven Friday.

Freshman Time Trials.

The time trials for the Freshman team to participate in the Andover invitation cross-country meet at Andover next Friday were held yesterday over the so-called "Cemetery Course". The course was four and a half miles in length and led over the bridge to Allston. Eighteen men covered this distance in very good time. The men selected for the team will be announced tomorrow and the Freshmen will leave for Andover Friday morning.
