THE 1919 CROSS COUNTRY RUN For many years the annual L. D. S. cross country run has been looked forward to with the keenest of interest from both our own student body and the city sport circles. The course startsron North Temple in front of the Smith Memorial building, thence east to State street, thence south to Canyon Road, then up City Creek Canyon, one and a quarter miles to the first water house, then down over the same route to the place of beginning. This makes a very hard race the iirst mile and a quarter being hard uphill work and the other a constant jaring. In every way the race demonstrates good condi- tion, proper training, and grit. This year it was an unusual success. There were twenty-eight entries of well- trained men. To eliminate those not fit to complete the race ,it was required that appli- cation for entry be filed two weeks before the race, and then applicants must train till the race. Also physical examinations were given before the start to avoid possible acci- dents from weak hearts. The race started with a steady gait, there being no showy sprints at the start. Mick Cannon, our midget runner, took the lead from the start and stayed with it for the entire race. He finished fully two hundred yards ahead of his nearest competitor, Rob- ert Pederson, who took an easy second. Virgil Norton finished about six inches ahead of Shirm Neslin, after a hard sprint for third. Bob Cannon came fifth. The rest, although a long way behind, showed good spirit and finished the race with the exception of one or two. Boyd Park Company awarded gold, silver and bronze medals to the three winners. We hope that in the years to come this race will become even more popular, and that L. D. S. will excel in cross country races along with every other sport. J Page: One Hundred Forty-seven
