This announcement brings back to the team three of the best players of the Dean game, Snow, the mainstay of the line, Church, the best ground gainer among the backs, and Stone, an effective end. Practically all hope that these men would return to the line-up had been given up, and many combinations had been tried in an effort to minimize the loss. With their eligibility decided there is still some doubt whether Stone and Church will play on Saturday. Snow, however, will certainly be in the lineup.

Captain Russell was, of course, the mainstay of the team, although he was tied for third place in the individual rating in the championship meet by E. R. Gay '19. Gay also had a creditable record for the year, being the only man in the intercollegiate tournament to defeat Captain Jeter of the Navy, who won the championship...
Captain D. Campbell '17 will be the mainstay of the University team. Out of 26 points scored by the team in the meet with Brown he alone secured 16, with two first places and two seconds to his credit. Campbell is an especially brilliant performer on the horizontal and parallel bars, and will undoubtedly be a high scorer in tonight's meet. M. B. Blanchard '18, who won the tumbling in last year's victory over Dartmouth, bids fair to secure another first place in that event tonight. Following is the program of events and the entries of both teams...

He is also the most versatile of the gymnasts, being entered in five of the six events...
...team will undoubtedly lie in the field events. In the pole vault the team will have a brilliant performer in R. H. Harwood, who is easily the most promising man the University has had for some time in this event. Harwood, who will be the team's mainstay in this department, is the National Interscholastic champion in the pole vault, and has a record of over 12 feet in competition. Of the other pole vaulters F. D. Johnson has been showing considerable promise, and should be vaulting over 11 feet in this spring's meets. J. Buffington...
