...ninth annual cross-country run of the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America will take place over the new West Rock course at New Haven at 11 o'clock. Fourteen colleges have sent in entries and a long string of starts will make a strong fight for individual honors. Cornell is picked to win the team championship, and second place will be fought out between Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Williams and Maine. The latter's chances are slight, however, as they were defeated in the New England Intercollegiates by Williams...
...University, declares that Yale has the stronger team, and should win next Saturday's game at New Haven.

Their purpose is to avoid possible injuries to first-string men and to give the substitutes who may be used against Yale experience in a hard game. Under these circumstances, although the team which will start will be by no means a weak one, the management feels that it ought to give both graduates and the public who have purchased tickets with the expectation of seeing first-string men start the game...
