It ia to be hoped that ihose interested in long distance running will turn out tomorrow and make the flrst cross country run of the season a successful oae, A few yr.ars ago cross country running was a prominent feature in tho athletics of eastern clubs, and was introduccd to quite an extent into the colleges. Some of the best men wbo have ruu on the einder track have also been faraous as cross country men. Among these were Day, Conneff, Carter and others vvho stood at the head of American distance runners. Conneff still holding the American record for the mile. Some of these have expressed a belief that their succeas on the track was due in a great measure to the training received by jogging over hill, through plowed field s and across all the other kinds of country that 'the hare and lound man meets. Michigan has never icen strong in long distance men but f cross country running is begun and kept up during the winter there is no doubt that some men will be brought out who can win glory for their colloge on the einder paths. Among1 the more rominent members of the hare and honnd club which was organized two reara ago, were Ilodgeman, Parsons, üain, Atwood and others and all look )ack to those runs over the hills and hrough the sn-amps of Washtenaw as among the most pleasantexperiencesof heir college lives.
