...President announces his intention to speak to the citizenry on a matter of national concern, it is the President's audience gathered in front of their TV sets.

Clearly, something had to change, and the predominance of Americans on the roster was altered. In 1961-62, using a number of Canadians, Cornell finished second to Harvard, and had a 13-5 overall record...
