...Captain Trumbull and the cheer leaders, and the CRIMSON as well, seem not to consider a certain reason which may account for the present undergraduate lack of football enthusiasm. It is not that the student body thinks Princeton will be easily defeated. But may it not be that a whole-hearted interest in the team has subsided because of too many one-sided early-season games...
...Ithacans are also badly handicapped by the same lack of experience which confronts the local runners. T. C. McDermott, the captain, is the only "C" man on the visitors' team. L. E. Wenz, who could not race at Syracuse, and J. W. Cambell ran in the last pre-war meet on the Belmont course when Cornell outdistanced the University team. Although Wenz and Cambell did not score in that race, they have developed greatly since then, and are now rated, next to McDermott, as Cornell's strongest runners.

The second meeting of this year will come the night before the team leaves for Princeton, and this will be the last chance to practice the cheers and songs before then...

The candidates stand for no platform, there are no conflicting issues, so that the prospective voter is not able to choose an officer because of what he represents. Nor may he be guided by some one man's special fitness for the office, because almost any man would be able to discharge suitably the not onerous duties of a class officer. So the whole matter becomes one of friendship. Only a man's personal friends...
