 l The team finally selected by Jack
 Moakley is regarded as an even stronger and better balanced combination than l that which won the championship at
 New Haven on November 20. As conse-
 euence of the try-outs held in the last
 two weks. and particularly of a final | try-out over a seven-mile steeplchase course last Saturday. new distance star
 came to the front in c. c. Carter. lie : led the pack home last Saturday. com ing in ahead even of McDermott, who up to this time had always been in front. ! Or account of leg injury early in the
 season Carter was unable to compete in the try-outs for the New Haven cham
 pionship meet. and he therefore did not enter that race. His development in re- cent weks, however, has stamped him as
 one of the best runners on the squad. Four members of the championship team will make the trip-McDermott, N. r. and R. E. Brown and Bonsal. Captain Dickinson. who ran at New Haven put did not finish in the first five. won tha right to represent Cornell in England Dy sterling performances in recent trials. while Richman. 8 sophomore. the seventh member of the team. came through in kthe last two weks.
