...afternoon Mrs. Roosevelt stole into the President's regular semiweekly press conference to say good-by to her husband before she motored to Ithaca, N. Y. to attend Cornell University's annual Home & Farm Week. The President looked out of the window at snow falling and told her to telephone if she got caught in a ditch. "All right," said she, "I'll telephone you from the snow drift." "And she would, too," said the President after the door closed. She did not telephone, however. She and Mrs. Henry Morgenthau Jr. drove to Ithaca with a good...
...first time Cornell and Woodland met was a year ago in this same meet in the Garden. The Eli was the winner and the raw young sophomore from Ithaca was fourth. But Cornell improved rapidly, and when they met in the Heptagonal games, Woodland barely beat him out; and he was not to be held off for long, for at Franklin Field two weeks later the Big Red ace was crowned IC4A champion, beatting off the Eli captain-elect in a furious finish. The rivalry between the two will be continued tomorrow night, and though most of the deposters...
Cornell is entering the meet as the general favorite; and Coach Moakley has developed a powerful, well balanced squad up at Ithaca. But the Big Red team is in for a real battle against both Dartmouth and Yale; Harvard, unless there is a startling upset, will trail the winner, though Jaakko Mikkola's men might pick up third place.

Despite the fact that Cornell swamped the Elis up at Ithaca, the Yale team is going to be a lot stronger when they come to the Garden for this meet; for the Blue team has a wealth of strength in the field events, and with reasonable luck they should win all four of the events they took at Cornell. That makes 20 points right there, a considerable total in a meet that may be decided with 32 or 33 points. And while Yale piles up points in the field events, Harvard and Dartmouth may very probably so cut into Cornell...
Down at New Haven, the team journeyed up to Ithaca expecting they might take a beating; but none of them expected that it would be as bad as 75 1-3 to 37 2-3. They will come up to Cambridge as definite underdogs, realizing that Cornell has an even more powerful outfit than had been generally expected; and they will come up realizing that their only hope of upsetting the dope and winning this Quad meet will be their strength in the field events coupled with Harvard's strength in the running. In other words, the Elis feel that...
