The fact that the men who will compete in the Olympic games from America will go at the expense of the Olympic committee, will materially lessen the expense of sending a dual team abroad, as representatives of Harvard and Yale will undoubtedly be chosen to form part of the American team. A portion of the funds, moreover, which were collected for the last international contest are still unused, and this fact will...
...Doubtless many of them have good reasons for delaying their decision, but we imagine that more have no good excuse, and are merely waiting because they are unwilling to commit themselves to anything so far in advance.

But what we need most is patience--not the sort which endeavors to smooth over a defeat and immediately tries a new coach as a drastic remedy, but the patience which fixes its support upon one man or body of men and backs them until they win. Only the most strong-minded committee or captain can survive the attacks resulting from the existing feeling of restlessness. With the right sort of confidence a mediocre but enduring system will accomplish more than spasmodic attempts...
