...made the best showing of any, having had little trouble in disposing of its opponents. The Harvard team, on the contrary, has developed slowly, and until the Williams game lacked life; and Princeton, whose brilliant backfield has rolled up large scores on a dry field, narrowly escaped a defeat at the hands of Lehigh, when they played on a muddy field...
...record. If the Ithacans had won no other championship but this they would still have fame enough left for one year, but in addition to winning the honors on track and field the Ithacans made a clean sweep of the rowing championship. Not only did Coach Courtney's men defeat Harvard, Yale and Princeton in two different regattas, but at Pough-keepsie they won the most thrilling race in years by defeating Columbia in the last one hundred yards. Only once during the year did a Cornell crew suffer defeat. This was in the freshman race, in which they lost...

A Committee was appointed to consider and to advise Captain Romeyn. Fred Allen, the 1900 captain, was chairman of this committee, and Mr. Cook was a member of it. The committee went over the situation at great length with Captain Romeyn, and held a second meeting in New York last week, at which Captain Romeyn was advised to make Mr. Rodgers head coach for 1912. This advice Mr. Romeyn accepted...
