Yesterday's snow weather for cross-country running was not taken advantage of by as many runners as had been anticipated. Nevertheless, the fifty that did turn out had an enjoyable 7-mile practice run in preparation for the coming championship, which will be held on February 4.
Y. W. Kwan (Hongkew Cross-Country Club) again showed speed and stamina, and D. M. Chen was the only runner who kept up with him throughout the entire course. The two came in about 150 yards ahead of W. D. Chow.
The championship day will see about 150 runners, in teams of eight, at the starting line. The first six of each team to reach home will 3e counted for points, and keen competition is anticipated.
