Running with the teams of Harvard and M. I. T. in a triangular meet held over the Belmont course at Cambridge, the Dartmouth cross country team finished second to the Tech team, and ahead of Harvard. The score of the meet was: M. I. T. 30, Dartmouth 48, Harvard 50. Captain Hendren, of the Technology team was first at the finish, followed by his own men in the third, sixth, ninth and eleventh places. Captain Young, of the Dartmouth team took second place, with Osgood and Nazro finishing third and fourth. Running over the three mile Belmont course, the freshman team was smothered by the Harvard freshman team by a score of 19 to 39, placing but two men among the first seven. These were C. W. Collins, who captured third place, and H. G. McDonough, who finished sixth.

A so-called "blanket-finish" with five Dartmouth runners abreast striding across the tape and a sixth following but a few feet behind, and all of these ahead of any members of the Middlebury cross-country team gave Dartmouth an easy 15 to 51 victory in Hanover, November 3. Captain Young, Letteney, Nazro, Winsor, and Osgood covered the six-mile course in 35 minutes and 27 seconds, Udall, following 20 seconds later. Cook, the first Middlebury man to finish was 18 seconds behind Udall. Jermyn, of Dartmouth, and Garrod, finished eighth and eleventh in the field of fourteen men.

Following the Columbia and Cornell runners the Dartmouth cross-country men took third place in the quadrangular race over the Van Cortland Park course in New York, November 11. The team score was: Columbia 33, Cornell 57, Dartmouth 58, Pennsylvania 69. Captain Young was the first Dartmouth runner to finish, taking fourth place. First place went to Walter Higgins, of Columbia, Intercollegiate two-mile champion, who covered the course in 32 minutes, 56 seconds. McClane of Penn. finished just behind Higgins, with Moore, of Columbia, third. Nazro, of Dartmouth was fifth, Letteney twelfth.
