TRACK

For the varsity cross-country runners the season so far has. been a disappointing contrast to that of last year. With but one veteran of the team that won the New England Intercollegiates a year ago, Coach Hillman has had a difficult task to develop more than an average good team.

Maine University captured the dual cross-country meet held in Hanover on the day of the Princeton game, 20-35. Captain Marceau took first place, covering the 4% miles in 22 minutes, 15 2-5 seconds.

Marceau again captured first place in the interclass hill and dale event held October 30, making - the 4 1-5 mile course in the excellent time of 22 minutes, 8 seconds. The sophomores won the meet with 42 points; the freshmen came second with 47; and the juniors third with 79. The seniors entered only three men and so did not qualify.

A third time Captain Marceau maintained his title to first place on November 15, this time against eight college teams in the New England Intercollegiate cross-country run over the Hanover course, by covering the 4.7 miles in 27 minutes, 37 seconds. Dartmouth took second place to Maine this time, by only a four-point margin. The teams finished in the following order: Maine, Dartmouth, Colby, Technology, Brown, Mass. State, Amherst, Williams.

The annual interclass fall track meet held October 28 went to the freshmen with 49 points. The juniors were second with 36, the seniors third with 25, the sophomores last with 8. F. R. Marceau '14 set a new college record in the two-mile race of 9 minutes, 47 2-5 seconds, which bettered his own outdoor record by 3-5 of a second. Few varsity men competed, and in general the showings made were poor.

The freshman cross-country team lost to the Pennsylvania freshmen 33-34 in a dual meet held in Hanover on the day of the Pennsylvania football game. Peeso beat out Myer, captain of the Green freshmen, making the 4 1-5 miles in 23 minutes, 4 seconds.
