...acsorbing topic at present is the event of the second annual winter games, which will be held during Friday and Saturday of this week, and will be given under the auspices of the Y. A. A. and Second Regiment C. N. G. The number of entries far exceed those of any previous in-door athletic meeting which Yale has ever held and a number of prominent athletes will contest.
