In the first time trials which the University cross country squad has half this year B. R. Cutcheon '25 led the field by about 25 yards, H. R. Kobes '26 coming in second, and Captain Coburn placing third, W. C. Hamson '25 and W. L. Chapin '25 were fourth and fifth, respectively. The race was run yesterday afternoon on the Charlesbank course.

Directly preceding the University trial, the Freshman squad was put through its first timed race. B. U. Swede, the brother of a former star Princeton distance runner, led all the other candidates by nearly 80 yards. The next three men, M. G. Shaw, H. L. Smyth, and E. B. Philipp, came in in a bunch, and were followed closely by Edward Gordon. These five men, with the next five finishers, I. W. Teele, A. D. Dowling, LeoRyan, J. F. Davison, and H. I. Hewitt, have been selected to eat at the training table. More men will probably be added later.

Although the times, which were not given out, were not fast, Coach Farrell stated that they were satisfactory for early season performances. Today the entire squad well have a rest preparatory to some stiff work on the Belmont course beginning Monday.
