A cup has been offered by D. F. O'Connell '21 to the team winning an open intercollegiate cross-country race to be run over the Harvard course next fall, it was announced last night by the Harvard Athletic Association. November 22 has been fixed as the date for the face. The cup may later be made the prize for an annual intercollegiate race, in which all Eastern colleges will be invited to compete. This race, however, will in no way affect Harvard's entrance into the intercollegiates, held every year in New York.

Each college entering the competition for the new cup will have an unlimited number of entries, with the first five men compiling its score.
