Urho Salminen Of Ely won the cross

covered the route of about seven miles
in just a trifle over 81 minutes. 1t
was over the same route as last year
and was about two minutes better that
the time of last year. G. women and
A. Sahi two of Ely's cross country
men who were doped to make it real

their way and did not start. Ely viii
hold its Annual Local tournament in
week or two and we expect to see
some real competition in the cross
country race at that time. It is going
to be worth watching and the time
should be under so minutes for the
course.
