The dual meet with Minnesota endedrather disasterously, but the boys certainlycame back in the Conference race. By hardfighting they secured fourth place, whichwas by far better than was expected of them. Throughout the season a squad of aboutthirty men, which, to my mind, is no wherenear enough, worked out night after nightat Camp Randall and tried out for the Cornell University, where over threehundred men compete annually in theinter-class race. Cross Country Championshipshave become a part of the institution. Whynot make Wisconsin the Cornell of the West?. With the 1914 cross country team losingbut one man. Captain Hedges of the 1915track team, the outlook for a squad of highcalibre five-milers in 1915 appears ratherfavorable. Aside from the runners of lastyears sextette, it is quite likely that theservices of Captain Goldie of the 1914 team,of Benish, who placed in the recent out-doorConference two-mile run, and of Harvey, thebest miler in the west, will be available foruniversity competition this fall in case thesemen desire to resume the sport. Captain-elect Merrill, Schardt, Lawson,Henkel, and Gross will form the nucleusaround which this years team will be valuable material is expected to springfrom the class teams of last fall, sophomoreand freshman. The results of these menpromise to be interesting, as no regularlyorganized class teams have been put into thefield heretofore in this branch of athletics.
