COMMERCE YEAR BOOK, 1911 WP ii ROSS A w UNTR! 4 vi ERVVIN -IOSEPH, Manager Ros1sNn,xUM, Captain A DR. VV. L. FOSTER, Coach . ,owe-'fi HE call for candidates for the cross country team was made Hg' Z' rather early this year, as this was our last chance to win the -Aff 115' P. S. A. L. trophy permanently, Manual and Commerce each ,Pj having won two legs of the trophy. D ' Fifty students responded to the call. Under the coaching of Dr. Foster, the team practised two or three times a week on the campus and the Central Park Course. lt opened the season with a victory over Morris, 20-50. The second run also resulted in a victory for Com- merce, the score 'this time being IQ-47, and the school that went down to defeat was Bryant. The team met its first defeat of the season over in Newarlzg Barringer being the school to turn the trick. It was a very close race from start to finish, Barringer just nosing us out, 26-29. The Boys, High match proved to be a walk-over for Commerce, by a score of I5 to 56. November 19th witnessed the worst defeat that our old rivals, Clinton, have received in a good while. Each school entered eight men, and of these sixteen the first six to finish displayed the colors of Orange and Blue. The final score was I5-52. ' The team had done such good work that it was decided to send them to Philadelphia in the All-American Interscholastic Championships. Owing to the unfamiliarity of the team with the course, two men were injured, and the team finished in fifth place. T he season closed Decem- ber 3d, when the annual P. S. A. L. Cross Country Championships were held at Celtic Park. Ill luck confronted the team again, this time three men being crippled before the race started, Despite these odds we finished second, being beaten by Manual. The team consisted of Cap- tain Rosenbaum, Haase, Swerling, Mclllvaine, Armb, Jamison and Renne. lt must be noted that in this sport the school having the lowest score is the winner, since the score is computed on the finish of the race. - Many thanks are due to Dr. Foster for the success of the team.
