TRACK

The Boston alumni have offered a bronze trophy, in the form of a Mercury, to be competed for in an annual interclass cross-country competition, and to be won by that class which shall win the greatest number of runs in a period of ten years. As the result of the competition this fall, the class of 1915 will have its numerals engraved on the trophy.

The annual fall interclass track meet was captured by the seniors. The sophomores and freshmen tied for second place. Due to the exceptionally poor condition of the field, no particularly good work was done.

Dartmouth will no longer meet Harvard in the dual meet of former years. Harvard has substituted a meet with Cornell to take the place of the one with Dartmouth. The reason assigned is Harvard's unwillingness to assume permanent athletic relations with any one institution.

The Dartmouth cross-country team won the New England Championship at Tech Field, Brookline, November 16. Taber of Brown was the first man to break the tape, with H. T. Ball '13, P. S. Harmon '13, F. Marceau '14, and J. L. Day '14, all for Dartmouth, following in close succession. Ball covered the four and one-half miles in approximately 25 minutes 31 seconds. The teams finished in the following order: Dartmouth, Brown, M. I. T., Amherst, Williams, Holy Cross, and Worcester Polytechnic. The required number of men failed to finish for Tufts, thereby disqualifying that institution.
