...doubtful whether these events will have any great effect one way or the other as regards the strength of any of the three rival teams. The addition of the two-mile will of course be slightly to the advantage of Cornell, which has a number of fast distance runners, who showed their wares in the cross-country intercollegiates last fall, when they established a record low score. On the other hand the University seems to have the edge in the weight event, with Captain Brown as its leading entry...
Improvements came thick and fast from then on. Mr. Edwin Armstrong, an amateur, discovered the regenerative circuit, by means of which a tremendous amplifying power was automatically obtained, and Mr. Paul F. Godley found a way to make it practical for amateur short waves. This great improvement in sensitiveness lifted the distance into the several hundreds of miles, and opened up great areas over which the excited amateur could communicate.

...University's chief problem tonight will be the successful combating of their opponent's speed. The Westminster skaters, especially the forward line, are exceptionally fast. Downing at center, Veno at right wing, and Small on the defence are all very dangerous men. The Crimson forwards are liable to meet the same difficulties in checking back on these players that they experienced against Toronto, namely: not having enough speed to keep on even terms with the attacking line...
