The Cross Country Run The cross country run is an innovation of Coach Smiths which probably has as much influence in the development of physical manhood among the boys of XYest as any other athletic activity. This cross country inter-class race is always awaited with muchieagerness. The runners usually train about two months and are required to make twelve practice runs, and be physically fit, before they can participate. Each boy at the beginning of the season signs a pledge and for each run gets a check on his card. About 250 boys signed cards: ZOO completed the twelve practice runs, and 175 started on the day of the race. The coach believes physical training should include more boys and should be for the masses. He believes two hund1'ed boys training for two months in stiff runs followed by invigorating showers and rub downs, can not fail but develop better and more vigorous American boys. This year the third annual cross country run was held Tuesday, April 25, starting from the top of Perkin's Hill. The Freshman class won the meet. :t complete surprise to all. The Seniors, who were doped to win, were nosed out about three feet by the yearlings. The Sophomores came in second, the Seniors, third, and the Juniors, fourth. The run was made over the same course as in former years. The winning team consisted of C. Bunten, F. Barnett, H. Cochran, L. Bennett and A. Corey. The Sophomore team was composed of Y. Buticofer, M. Firey, H. Krenerick, G. Mikolashek and Y. French. The Senior team was made up of T. Hatch, YY. Gibson, gl. Pittinger, H. Kaiser and Y. McCormish. The Junior runners were L. Irwin, l. Gurin. G. Linns, F. Kolb and G. Kuhlke. Hatch was the tirst runner to cross the line. His time was 3:3-l 2-5, which is about three seconds more than the record set by -lohn MacKinnon in 19211. MacKinnon's record is 8:31 1-5. L. Irwin, a junior, crossed the line several yards behind Hatch, who is a Senior. Y. Buticofer. a Sophomore, came in third. The first three men received merchandise prizes as follows: First Prize-Gold cuff links, donated by Ralph L. Hall. Second and third Prizes-- Neckties, donated by Morris Co., Five Points.
