Although Harvard is not represented by a University team in the cross-country race at New York today, the Freshman harriers compete for the junior intercollegiate title. They oppose Cornell, Yale and probably Princeton. In view of their recent decisive victory, they have a good prospect of winning. Last Saturday's race showed that the early season handicaps have been overcome. In spite of the small squad, which was enlarged during the season by an effective recruiting campaign, the team has progressed. Interest in football diverted us from watching the steady, though slow, development. Recovering from early, discouraging defeats...
...cross-country team of seven men will compete in New York this afternoon in the I. C. A. A. A. A. Freshman Championships. This race, which will be under the auspices of Columbia University, is an innovation which was introduced into intercollegiate athletics this fall as a result of the war-time tendency toward increased importance of freshman sports.

Nally, F. L. A. Cady, B. W. Boyden, C. A. Page, H. E. Chambers and E. A. Weld. Besides running against the Cornell and Princeton squads they will probably be started against the same Yale harriers whom they defeated a week...
...contest today will be the final one of the season for the Freshman runners, and the fourth one in which they have entered as a team. Individual members of the squad, however, have taken part in other races under the colors of the R. O. T. C. or the H. A. A. The first race, held with Andover on October 27, was lost by the score of 22 points to 33. The next meet was a quadrangular affair on November 10 in which the Freshmen placed second to Wakefield High School with 56 points to the latter's 32. Last...
