COLLEGE HILL
AND DALE RACE
MAY COME HERE
AS Every Other Institution
Has Fostered the Event,
Pennsylvania Will Likely
Bid for 1t Next Year.

The chances are that if the University
of Pennsylvania track authorities take
the proper initiative the intercollegiate
A. A. A. A. cross country championship
for 1915 will be held in Fairmount Park.
The association has definitely approved
the system of rotation, and every uni
versity able to furnish a suitable course,
Pennsylvania alone excepted, has been
given this meet. 1t has been held at
Princeton several times, twice at Boston
under the auspices of the NJ. I. T., once
at Cornell and last year at New York,
under the auspices of Columbia Uni
versity This fall the meet has been
awarded to Yale, and will be held at New
Haven on the morning of the Harvard
Yale game, November %.
Pennsylvania has at her door one of
the most ideal cross country courses in
America, and one that is probably as
hard as the famous one over the hills
in and about Ithaca. Every conceivable
kind of running can be found in the
park, In addition, Pennsylvania could
furnish the best kind of dressing quarters
at the University and other boat houses
along the Schuykill
the candidates for the Quaker cross
country team will be called out on Tues
day of next week, when Coach George
w. Orton will give them an easy run
through the Park. There isn't much
chance of a Penn victory this year, for
the Quakers have lost three of their
best runners of last year. McCurdy,
Langner and Madeira, while Cornell has
retained most of her 1918 stars. Last
year McCurdy was third, Bangner ninth
and Madeira 45th. If Madeira had fin-
ishcd within the first six men Penn would
have won the meet.
OF last years team the Quakers have
only Captain Huston, who was 31st, and
Stroud, who was 18th Ted Mere
dith. who tried cross-country running last
year as an experiment, has decided that
he wasn't intended for this sort of work,
and won't try 1t again. Earl Humphreys,
who was i'll most of last fall. is out
to make a reputation for himself this
fall and has reported in good condition.
Another man from whom much is eX-
pectcd is Peeso, the star of last years
freshman team.
But this team can hardly be expected
to win from Cornell, whose team still
has Hoffmire, the intercollegiate two
mile champiotN second in the cross-coun-
try run: Frederickson, Burke and Speiden,
who finished 11th, 18th and 18th. respec-
lively, not to mention Potter who was
prevented from running through sickness.
