before them before they leave for New York to sail for England on December 14 the Cornell cross countrycountry squad is approaching the climax of a long seasons training in special preparation in the sort of running they will experience when they meet the crack athletes of Oxford and Cambridge on the Thames Hare and Hounds Clnb course at Rochampton England December 27 When Jack Moakley looked about for a steeplechase course that was reasonably close at hand he found that the cavalry unit of the reserve officers training corps at the university had provided just what he needed The cavalrymen in their drills have beenusing a part of Alumni field Cornells big athletic ptract east of the campus They had erected stiles 4 feet high for practice in Jumping and the constant tramping of their horses had plowed up the ground making it rough and uneyen Nearby too were found hedges 4 feet high ditches 8 feet wide aad water jumps Coach Moakley had no difficulty in laying out a good steeplechase course with such natural and artificial obstacles and the other day he added another tough one to the squads training a jog up Kite Hill one of the steepest and highest eminences hereabouts The only path leading to the summit of this hill is just wide enough for one man to use and hence the squad must go up it in single file The result has been a great deal of jockeying
