The Cornell team won first place in the intercollegiate cross country run held at Morris Park, New York, on Wednesday afternoon. By the method of scoring, points are counted against each college according to the relative order in which the first four men of its team finish, among all competitors, and the college against which fewest points are charged wins the meet. Against Cornell 24 points were scored; against Yale, 30; against Pennsylvania, 53; against Harvard, 59; and against Princeton and Columbia, 75 and 111, respectively. A. C. Bowen, of Pennsylvania, made the best individual record, finishing in 35 minutes flat, after a very close and exciting race, in which he defeated by two-fifths of a second, D. W. Franchot, of Yale, the winner of the individual championship in the meet last year. W. A. Colwell 2G., who finished eighth, was the first Harvard man in, his time being 35m., 28s. His showing would have been better had it not been for the muddy track, conditions for which he is unfitted. Besides Colwell, the first men on the Harvard team to finish were Hall, Clerk and King, who came in thirteenth, seventeenth and twenty-first, respectively.

The weather conditions were extremely unfavorable; the turf was soft from rain, and in many places the men were obliged to run through mud which was ankle deep. Under such adverse conditions, the time made in the run was remarkable. The course was 6 miles and 240 yards in length, five laps of the regular steeple chase course. Forty-four jumps were taken, comprising brush fences, liverpools, and a fifteen foot water jump.
