Williams Crosscountry 1913
A new course of about five miles will be used for the annual cross country run. Starting at Lasell Gymnasium, the runners go west on Main Stree to the Buxton Brook school house, turn north to North-west hill, descend to the Charityville Bridge, circle to the north, return to Williamstown by way of Park Street, and end up with two laps on Weston Field.
Joseph White Geer of New York City has been chosen captain of the cross country team. As a member of the 1912 varsity track team, he secured second place in the two mile against both Amherst and Wesleyan.
