The Athletic Council of Bowdoin
College met Monday night for the pur-
pose of considering certain matters
concerning the athletic affairs of the
college, and to award letters and nu-
merals to men who have run on the
cross-country teams this year. The
Athletic Council is made up of the fol-
lowing men: Nathaniel L. McConauglr-

ley Gray of Portland; Franklin D. Nc
Cormick Of Framingham, Mass; Per-
ley 5. Turner of Augusta and Profess
sor Paul Nixon representing the fac
ulty.
The Council in the first place con-
sidered the invitation of Dartmouth
College to have the Freshmen team
participate in an intercollegiate cross
country race at Hanover this fall. AL
though the Freshmen have a very fast
team. superior in fact to the Varsity,
since some of the best men are not ell
igible to represent the college, never
theless the Council decided that It
would be unwise to send the team this
year. and plans instead to spend the
money that the trip would require up-
on new track equipment which is sore.
ly needed.
The Council also awarded "B's" to
the men who were point winners in the
cross-country race with Colby, in
which Bowdoin was victorious by the
score of 1928. The following men re-
