The Harvard University and Freshman cross country teams outran Yale for their sixth consecutive victory over the Blue yesterday afternoon over the Charles River course.

The University team scored a 19 to 52 win, while the 1933 runners were defeating their opponents by a perfect count, 15 to 48.

Yale Leads First Mile

Starting at a fast clip, the Yale team held the lead during the first mile. Then a Crimson group passed their opponents, but Captain W. F. Smith of the Elis kept a long lead over the field. Following him at about 50 yards Hallowell watched Smith until the last two miles, during which he edged up steadily, and passed the Yale leader with the finish in sight, winning finally by ten yards.
