Durham, Oct. 11.-While Duke University's football team remains idle over this weekend, the soccer and cross country teams will launch their seasons, the latter meeting Guilford College at Guilford tomorrow morning and the former facing the University of Maryland booters on the Duke field tomorrow afternoon.
