It seems fairly certain now that
Bowdoin will have another cross cou'.-
try race with Tufts this year. At, the
faculty meeting recently neld the mat
ter of race was brought up and it
was voted to allow the track manager
to arrange IL race upon the dte OF tfia
football game with Tufts at Medford
on Oct 81. At the cross country race
with Tufts last fall Tufts won by only
one point over the first cross country
team in the history of Bowdoin con-
sisting of Slocum, 10: Goliath, 10:
Morse, 10: Simmons, '09 and Weston
'0S Since then Slocum and Goliath
have both broken records at the Maine
track meet and at the
New England meet in distance events.
Morse and Simmons are in good form
and there are several likely candidates
to fill the place of Weston who grad
uated last June. With such men to
represent them Bowdoin students are
pretty confident Of gaining victory.
Both the football game and the cross
country race will take place at Med
ford on oct 81 and should Bowdon
be able to win cut in both as she has
good chance of doing there is sure to
be great rejoicing. as Tufts is al old
rival.
