MAINE barriers
HAVE CHANCE COP
CHAMPIONSHIP n. Y.
New York Times)


Prospects of Maine victory in the
intercollegiate cross-country cham
pionship run at Van Cortlandt Park
on Monday of next week became
considerably brighter on ! Saturday
when the Orono squad won team
honors in the New England title run,
defeating among others NJ. I. T,
which had previously beaten Cornell
and Harvard. Inasmuch as NJ. I. T.
had been counted on as heavy
point winner in the Intercollegiate
here, Maine jumped into the lime
light in a single leap.
One result of Saturdays victory
was to set cross-country men to
wondering If they would see re-
petition of the 1915 race. in which
Maine, unsung and obscure, invaded
Boston and carried off the college
championship against heavy oppo-
sition. That was one of the biggest
surprises in the history of the event.
The late Johnny Overton, a war hero.
won first place for Yale, but Maine
had too much team strength to be
denied.
It begins to look as if Cornell, the
traditional winner of the champion
ship contest, will have the hardest
of fights this year. With a green team
taking part, Monkeys men will be
seriously extended to keep up their
great record. OF the twenty-five races
Cornell has won seventeen, and ten
times they have placed the individual
winner. The only colleges which
have beaten them for the team prize
are Syracuse, Yale, Maine. Harvard
and Pennsylvania. From 1908 to
1912 they had five individual win
ners in a row, John Paul Jones, the
great distance star. finishing first
three times. Cornell's success in
cross country forms one of the most
remarkable chapters in intercolleg-
late athletics.
Columbia intends to bulk itself
large in the path of the Ithacans this
season. With Walter Higgins and
Bob Moore as big point winners, she
Blue and White sees it's most gor-
geous chance this year to make a lit
tie history for itself. Among its VIC
Tins already are Cornell. Pennsyl-
vania, Dartmouth, Syracuse. Penn
State, Carnegie Tech, Rutgers, N. Y.
u, Colgate and c. C. n. Y. Most of
these will be among the eighteen
colleges which will line up at the
starting mark next Monday.

New Haven. Conn.,. Nov. 24.-Har-

setbacks by Iowa and Princeton.
Yale doomed stronger against the
Tigers last week than Harvard did the
week before. Defensively, both
elevens are about on a par. with Yale
holding a slight offensive edge. on
form, because Of its harder running at
tack. But the fact that both teams
have concentrated for final and su-
prcme effort. and that the traditional
spirit of rivalry will inspire them to
heroic heights, makes comparison of
form and records relatively Of little
value.
Both elevens promise to have their
full strength in the lineup with Yale

been out through injuries. OHearn, in
the few minutes that he played against
