The Tech, 11 Oct 1907, p1
XC candidates slow about reporting
only one of the returning five men from the 1906 team practicing regularly
Callaway, Ellis, and Howland only veterans who have done any work as yet
Nickerson '10 and freshmen Niles, McCreadie, and Weeks are promising
The Tech, 16 Oct 1907, p1
Harvard may run Yale the Wednesday after Field Day and so would not run against MIT
Cornell offered to run provided MIT run in Ithaca the next year, but the expense would be too great
The Tech, 30 Oct 1907, p1
Harvard favored on Friday
MIT: "The Captain of the team and its most prominent members who have run on it in the past have all shown a marked aversion do doing any work this season..."
WT MacCreadie (Andover) ran second to Cpt Howland in trials
half-miler White also out, M Nickerson '11 promising, but lax about training
MIT team: Cpt HH Howland, WT McCreadie, A Ellis, CL Batchelder, M Nickerson, R Hulsizer, SL Niles, E White, ES Howe, LC Cooley
