...Capt. Mandell and Mr. Lathrop, without whom no team can be sent away from Cambridge, to be in Cambridge next Saturday for the first day of the winter meetings. The men who are going to take part in the games are taking this step at their own expense and cannot be regarded as representatives of the H. A. A. K.

No admittance fee will be charged this evening, and we urge all to attend the bouts. Complete success in their preliminary contests will assure success in the regular winter meetings...
