...University crew defeated Cornell on Saturday over the one and seven-eighths mile course in the basin by 37 seconds, which under the prevailing Weather conditions represents a full 10 lengths. The decisive nature of this victory is to be accounted for by saying that the University crew proved better and the Cornell crew worse than expectations. Although the crews' chances were estimated as equal, and the high wind was even considered to give the advantage to the superior watermanship of Cornell, the University boat took the lead at the very start and crossed the finishing line without ever being...
...first of the race. The University crew, on the other hand, maintained a rate of 34 to the minute practically throughout the entire two miles, and finished at nearly 37.

The Freshmen will have the advantage of playing on home grounds, and the game should be close. Positions in the batting orders have been slightly changed and the two teams...
Every man must weigh carefully the evident advantages of such an organization, as a means of producing better understanding between Faculty and undergraduates, better unity among students, and as an aid to the Athletic Committee in making unnecessary the kind of curtailment to which we are all opposed. We must discuss and vote intelligently; but let no unfortunate demonstration come between us and the happy solution that appears to be in sight. The CRIMSON cannot urge too strongly the necessity of an unanimous expression in this matter and an attendance at the meeting that will leave no doubt...
