It is high time that some steps should be taken by the H. A. A. toward holding the series of hare and hounds runs, which form such a popular and enjoyable feature of the autumn sports. They are usually inexcusably delayed. As the season is short at best, they ought to begin at once. It is to be hoped that the new management of the H. A. A. will arrange a run for some day of this week, and take pains to have the runs more prompt and regular than in the past two years.

To those who have never tried a run with the hare and hounds, it may not be out of place to state that these runs are open to all members of the university. They require no training, and form a most enjoyable means of exercise to men who are not working with any team. The pleasure of following the trail at an easy pace through fields and gardens, across fences and ditches, up hill and down, can be appreciated only by those who have experienced it. The amusing incidents of each run, the new scenes visited only on such occasions, and the bracing air and exercise make the sport a favorite with men who do not take an active part in athletics; while men who have some ability as long distance runners find hare and hounds an invaluable aid in developing their running powers.
