J. L. REID '29 RE-ELECTED CAPTAIN OF HARRIERS

James Luther Reid '29 of Somerville was reelected captain of the cross-country team yesterday. He prepared at Somerville High School but did not track work there or in his Freshman year at Harvard.

Although he had never done any cross-country running before coming under the tutelage of Coach E. L. Farrell in his sophomore year, Reid has been the first Harvard runner over the line in the two Intercolleglate meets in which he has run. In the race with Yale this fall he bettered the course record set by Captain W. L. Tibbets '26 in 1925, by 28 1-5 seconds, finishing in the total elapsed time of 27 minutes, 41 3-5 seconds.

In the Yale meet a year ago he placed third and in the Intercolleglate run he took thirteenth place. This year, besides winning the Yale race, he came in third in the Intercolleglate cross-country meet.
