THE CROSS-COUNTRY.

The Cross-country this year was run on Tuesday, 8th February. Competitors appreciated the fact that for once the going across the Ings was firm and almost dry. There 45

was a slight alteration in the course, the tape across Bootham and the consequent dislocation of the traffic being avoided by cutting out the section of the course from the Scope to the School gates. Instead, the runners finished along the river bank and over the playing fields, via the new gate, the actual finish being in the Bay.

Brockbank went ahead from the start, closely followed by two other members of his team, Lynch and Bulmer. Then came Robson (Rise) and a group of School House and Temple runners. With the exception of Bulmer, who lost several places owing to difficulty in crossing a marshy patch, this order was maintained across Bootham Stray and down to the Aerodrome. Crossing the North Road, the leaders were Brockbank, Lynch, Robson, Brown, Bulmer, Bower and Davin. By now Brockbank was well out of reach of his nearest rivals, and he won easily in 28 minutes 34 seconds. Robson, who had followed the disconcerting tactics of keeping just on Lynch's heels all the way across the Ings, passed him finally,• to come a good second. However, the issue was settled when it was seen that the next three places were filled by a trio of Temple runners, Lynch, Bulmer and Brown (K. C.).

Altogether a very fine race, and we congratulate Brockbank and Temple House on their victory. * * *
