...scarcely believe that after the success of last year's competition the coming series will be such a dead failure as this seems to forbode. Possibly there is some delay among teams intending to enter, or some misunderstanding as to the date when entries are closed. We sincerely hope that there is some such explanation for this seeming lack of interest. The scrub games were so generally appreciated last year, and proved such an excellent introduction to the class series, that their omission would be indeed unfortunate...

The question of giving up the old Tree Exercises is one to which the committee have given the most careful attention, and they are convinced that the changes they recommend are in the interests of the class.

It would certainly be unfortunate if after the care expended in formulating a plan intended to enable the judges to make unquestionable selections with greater facility, the number of candidates for the team were to fall below the standards of the past. If such proves to be the case, the advantages accruing from a more minute treatment of the question under the three steps of the new system will hardly justify its permanent adoption...
