...cross-country squad at present numbers 40, evenly divided between University and Freshman barriers. Coach Farrell believes he has the foundations of two good teams. Their capabilities will be better known after tomorrow's contest. Practice has been held at Soldiers Field every day this week, the usual trips to Belmont being omitted. This arrangement was made because the ground covered at Cambridge is more like that over which the B. A. A. race will be run than is the course at Belmont...

I hope the men now in College who are unable to get into the military part of the team, realize that they serve their country as well as we do if they apply themselves to their college work, fitting themselves for military duty if they are needed when they are old enough, and fitting themselves for the tremendous work of reconstruction which is to follow...
