VARSITY CROSS COUNTRY TEAM WINS DUAL MEETS WITH YALE, PRINCETON

In a 5 1-6 mile race with the Yale and Princeton barriers, the Varsity cross country teach won two dual meets on Saturday, swamping Princeton 20-43, and Yale 25-28. Arthur Foote '33, captain of Crimson barriers, in an exciting race led Bonthron of Princeton until within 300 yards of the finish, when the Princeton runner made a fine sprint to cross the line about ten yards ahead of Foote.

In the Freshman race, Harvard was downed by the Princeton first year men 25-30, but won from Yale 23-35. R. S. Playfair '36 was the winner, closely followed by Hull of Princeton. Playfair was behind until the last half mile of the race when he speeded up his pace to finish about thirty yards ahead of the runner-up.

Harvard placed five runners in the first ten men in the Varsity race, compared with Princeton's two and Yale's three, so the prospects of making a good showing in the intercollegiate are considered fair at present. In addition, the Varsity harriers defeated both their opponents by bigger margins than other Eastern colleges had done. Foote won five separate medals in the one race.
