...strong and well-balanced Cornell team, the University harriers went down to a 42-64 defeat on the Belmont course Saturday. The feature of the race was the running of T. C. McDermott, the Ithacan captain, who, covering the course in 34 minutes, 23 3-5 seconds, came within less than a minute of breaking the record for the course made by Overton of Yale in 1914. J. W. Cambell, also of Cornell, crossed the tape 22 seconds later, leading B. Lewis '20 by a scant three yards...
...Belmont course at 3 o'clock this afternoon the University harriers will meet the Cornell team that placed one position higher than they at Syracuse a week ago. Today's race differs from that of last Saturday in that the course, although longer, is less tiring; that all of one team and the best runners of the other will have raced on the course before, and that each side will be strengthened by the return of runners who were out of the race last week because of injuries...
...University, C. E. Dexter '22 and W. H. Goodwin '20 will be in the run.

It seems to me obvious that this question is one about which the University has no business to be partisan. For it to "further by its inspiration the establishment of a universal service throughout the nation" would be as inappropriate as for it to oppose the adoption...
...majority of us deplore the failure of Congress to retain the Daylight Saving Bill. The opposition which destroyed it seems to have come from the Middle West, and possibly from the less evident, but all-powerful gas and electric light interests. New York City, by passing its own daylight saving ordinance, shows that it realizes the manifold benefits accruing from the Federal enactment and that it does not plan to await Congressional action...
