...Association held its first winter meeting Saturday afternoon. The different sports were closely contested, and in the running high kick the Institute record was broken. The sparring was exciting, but not scientific. Following is a summary of the games: Fence vault, R. C. Williams, '86, 6ft. 7in.; standing high jump, L. C. Wason, '90. 4ft. 7in.; putting shot, J. C. DeBullett, 33ft. 6 1-2 in.; running high jump, L. C. Wason, '90, 5ft. 2in.; fencing, H. A. Craigin; running high kick, L. C.

This would, perhaps, bring out some new men and would develop the existing material for the team which goes into training after Xmas. The plan has been tried at Yale with considerable success, and would at any rate raise the standard of our own athletics...
...those events which are not very strong at present. Coxe's graduation leaves Yale without the winner of the two of the first prizes taken last spring. The Athletic Association now offer prizes for contests in throwing the hammer and putting the shot. Last winter a series of high jump contests was held for the purpose of developing new men in this event. There were a large number of entries, and the practice was a great help to the candidate of the Mott Haven team. This year, besides all but one of the old men, there are quite a number...
