...become a fashion amounting to almost an obsession for a great many Americans, especially those who are young, educated and have sojourned abroad, to deplore the lack of ideals, the "crass materialism," of their native land. The younger they are, the more educated they are, the longer they have sojourned abroad, in so much greater measure is their contempt voiced, till it has become almost the mark of culture and broad-mindedness to hold in contempt the nation's money, lust, and laud to the point of idolization the noble principles and the high ideals of Europe. It is always...
...those of R. Horween '18 and his one attempt at a drop kick was a dismal failure. In the second period Cornell advanced from its 35-yard line by a series of rushes to the University's 25- yard line, from which spot Shiverick's hurried drop kick was almost blocked. Cornell's defense was by no means impregnable. Both teams showed ability to gain ground at one time or another through their opponent's line, but the Ithacans tendency to drop the ball lost for them many chances to advance in the University's territory. The almost entire absence...
Miss Delmar an excellent as Barnabetta--winning, true and never over-drawn either in her happiness or earlier "dumb- ness." Mr. Wilson's Barnaby has not the sureness of Mr. Cope's of last year.

...fourth period S. M. Felton '19 took charge of the team and almost at once attempted an unsuccessful field goal from the 28-yard line. Until nearly the end of the period the play was marked only by fumbles and a blocked punt by P. H. Hartley '18 and Likins, which Likins recovered. At the end of the period, however, the University scored again when Minot, receiving a punt on the visitors' 44-yard mark, ran it back to the 33-yard line. Here a long forward pass, Minot to E. S. Brewer '19 netted 28 yards. Brewer making...
...This has been remedied and a better machine organized. Princeton will probably have little trouble with Lafayette, with all their regulars playing except Moore. Driggs, Brown, and Tibbott, with either Eddy or Ames at quarterback are expected to compose the the backfield, while the line will be made up almost entirely of veterans...
