ROPE CLIMBING.Foster, '85, E. E. Allen, '84, and Pudor, '86, entered to see who could reach the ceiling of the gymnasium. This year, Jim, the gymnasium boy, was perched on a ladder to see which should be the first man up. Allen and Foster went up first. The usual safety ropes were dispensed with. Allen reached the top in 22 seconds. Pudor, who went up alone, made it in 22 3-4 seconds. Foster did not reach the top at all.

Kimball gave some hard body blows. The second bout showed Coolidge puffing somewhat, but still making his longer reach tell. He showed considerable quickness. Kimball showed more skill. The third round was decidedly in Kimball's favor. Coolidge was wild and flustered and struck the air or his opponent's gloves many times. Kimball, quietly and coolly, sparred in a business-like manner, which used up Coolidge before the end. Kimball...
