Co&eh Burton NJ. Morrill, is we'll sat
isficd with the form the men are show
ing at this time and has hopes of VIM
nirg this years race. OF last years
cross country team Capt. Goliath,
"General' Siocum, Harry Robinson,
Bob" Cole and Charles Cary, last
years alternate, are all out for the
team. Bob Morse, who was a mem
Der of last years team and has been
running ali the fall since college OPEN
&C, is confined to his room with an at
tack CT appendicitis and will be unable
to compete. The others are all in fine
condition, Cole having been captain of
the Sophomore track team this fall
and the star performer of the 1912 rep

has done the three-mile in Is minutes

and from the way he has been running
this fall he is picked by many as the
man who will take Bob" Morse's place
on the team when the trials are held
OF the other men who are out those
who seem especially promising are
George Howe, II, Who although he
has never been out in earnest for the
team before, is keeping a good pace
with the best men on the team: Cur
It's. II: Foote. II: Hinc, II, ard Cres-
sey, ~.
Last years team of course seems to
have the better showing to many but
when the trials are held there are sure
to be some close races among the. new
men for places on the team and some
of the old men are likely to have Il
hard race to maintain their old posi-
items
The final arrangements Cor the Bow

been completed by Manager Walter N.
Emerson. The Tufts cross country team
will arrive in Brunswick Thursday

day morning while the football game
with Tufts was played in Portland In
the afternoon. This arrangement OBJ
llged many to miss one of the two
events. By the arrangement this year
of having the cross country race the
day before. this trouble will be eIm-
mated and many more will be able to
witness both the race and the game.
1t is probable that the course will be
much the same as that of two wears
ago. only the finish this year will lie
at the athletic field instead of at .::e
corner of Maine and McKeen streets
as in the former race. The men will
finish with lap around the track and
thus give everyone an opportunity to
see all the final work of both teams
