.CROSS-COUNTRY
RUN PROPOSED
FOR NEW YEAR
Also Junior Event in
observation-disclosures
Interested.
By THOMAS S. RICE.

Plans are afoot to have a crogs-coun-
try run In Washington this fan OF winter
that win eclipse anything OF the kind
ever attempted here.
In fact, the proposition is &c have
two such runs, one about the first week
in December. and the other on New
Year Day or Whereabouts.
The original scheme was TO revive the
cross-eOuntTy runs OF the high schools,
which we're held some years ago and
were a great success. 1t was In the
last Washington run, held under the
auspices Of Carroll Institute, that Louis
Connor, then OF Central High, later Of
Pennsylvania, and now at George Wash
ington University, won so easily and
scored a great triumph for those who
scorn the fieshpots Of Egypt and, as
Billy Kirk expressed it, "often leave
the bunch, for a rutabaga breakfast
or a shredded cabbage lunch" Conner
got his name into all the magazine. in
the country devoted to the exploitation
OF the theories OF those who think a
bag Of peanuts more desirable than a
tenderloin steak as a diet for a working
man. He is back IN town and his pres
ence should inspire the rising genera
ton.

Other Changes.
Isaackson is at left tackle now. while
Caldwell has been moved from right
guard to tackle. and Gardner. a new
man, put in Cadwells place at guard.
Henry has shown Improvement at
quarter OF late, but lacks weight and IS
naturally rather slow.
The one great mistake of O'Donneii
thus far has been IN falling to deVeiup

he knew his knee was not sound.

team work was excellent, even better
than that displayed in the Western game.
Il spite of Its heavier line, a fact which
would have made the '05 football tactics
effective against the lighter team, Tech
played up-tO-date football and played il
well.
