Undefeated Cross Country Team Favored Over U. of Mass. Today

The Crimson's unbeaten cross-country team rates as a strong favorite to score its fifth consecutive victory today when it faces the University of Massachusetts harriers in a dual meet.

In the harriers' second meet on their new course at Franklin Park, the U. of Mass. Redmen should prove little more than a mid-week tune-up for a tougher Ivy League contest with Dartmouth this Friday.

The Massachusetts team has a record of two wins and two losses in previous meets this year but little is known about their individual men.

The Yardling harriers will also be seeking their fifth win of the season today in a similar dual meet with the U. of Mass. freshmen. Since both the number two and three men, Bob Knapp and Tony Field, are not expected to run due to injuries, McCurdy relies for a win on the Yardlings' "big improvement in depth, relatively much better than the varsity team."
