Only twenty-six men reported, a number which, considering the fact that only two members of last year's team, H. H. Rowland '06 and W. G. Howard '07, will be able to run, makes the prospect for a fast team very uncertain. In about two weeks the candidates for the team will be divided into fast and slow squads, so that all who desire the exercise and the experience may have a equal chance...
