Yesterday afternoon the candidates for the University cross country team took a practice run of about four and one-half miles, going out by way of the Mt. Auburn, Cemetery and returning across the rough ground at the far end of the Stadium. M. H. Stone '07, one of the most promising candidates, strained his ankle, but it is expected that he will be able to run again within a week. The prospects for a good team this year are fairly bright, as twenty men are reporting daily, four of whom have had, some experience in cross country work...

The men were handicapped by their unfamiliarity with the rough ground. Their strength lay in the middle-field, but their attack near the goal failed to work together. Hobart's attack was aggressive...
...During the dull weeks of army drill his regimental bandmaster had recalled a Methodist camp-meeting hymn with the resounding chorus, 'Glory Hallelujah!' He adapted the air to his military instruments, and it had become a well-known marching tune in the regiment. Some unknown poet composed rough words to the air, and when the regiment came marching up State street on July 23, 1861, on its way to the front, the men were singing the original John Brown song.
