'cross-country season with keen anticipa-
ton, for with the entire 1913 team back

The 1918 team was the result Of care
fully planned policy adopted two years
ago by the directors OF the athletic as
ISOLATION. in which they realized that the
best way TO develop long distance run
ners was to encourage 'cross-country
running. In order to do this they insti-
tuted a series of handicap runs for men
who were not members OF the varsity
squad, and in doing so they succeeded in
developing a cross country team which
made record for itself This year this
policy has again been followed, and al
ready two handicap novice meets have
| been held under the auspices of the
