Each team has gone thus far in its season without defeat. While the University has been disposing of its various opponents, the Ithacans have been defeating Gettysburg, 13 to 0; Oberlin, 34 to 6; Williams, 46 to 7; and Bucknell, 41 to 0. In the two respective schedules, unfortunately, there have been no games in common from which to draw comparisons, but too much emphasis is not to be laid on Cornell's higher scores, as the teams which have played the Red and White have undoubtedly been inferior to those which have met the Crimson...

...will have to be abandoned. The committee has secured a rate low enough to warrant a good cheering section at Princeton, and thus far the response is discouraging. The importance of a cheering section need not be emphasized. In 1911, the football team played in Princeton, and the defeat is attributed to the fact that there was no Harvard undergraduate support.

This was the platform on which the Republican party was founded and upon which it made the contests in 1856 which resulted in the defeat of Fremont, and, in 1860, when its victory made Abraham Lincoln president. In 1848, however, there were few who were ready to accept this doctrine. Mr. Dana was one of the few who left the Whig party and attended the Free Soil convention at Buffalo which nominated Van Buren...

Cornell comes here Saturday full of confidence, for there is little doubt that this year's eleven is one of the strongest teams that has ever represented the university. Even though Cornell has not opposed any of the big teams so far this season, the fact that it could defeat Oberlin 34 to 7, beat Williams 46 to 6, and overwhelm Bucknell 41 to 0 shows the tremendous scoring power of the machine. Although the Red and White has fallen before the crimson in ten contests during the past, its men come here next Saturday determined to break...
