The University cross-country squad will race Dorchester A. A. in a practice run over the intercollegiate course at Franklin Park this afternoon at 3 o'clock. The object of the race is to accustom the runners to the course, in preparation for the Intercollegiate Meet to be held on Saturday; the day of the Yale game. The whole squad ran over the six-mile course yesterday afternoon to find out its main features and character.

W. P. Whitehouse, Jr., '17, who was running third on the University team before the Yale meet, broke a toe in the Yale race last Saturday. The accident occurred about two miles before the finish, but Whitehouse finished in sixth place, passing a Yale runner on the way in. He will be unable to run again this season.
