ALTHOUGH the athletic sports on Saturday last were very successful, they were so at the expense of some irregularities. When the entries closed, on Thursday evening, there were nineteen entries for five events; of the remaining, the running broad jump had no entries and the other four but one each. Yielding to the wishes of the other members of the Executive Committee, I left open the entries until noon on Friday, when by going about and begging men to enter we succeeded in filling all the events but one. Notwithstanding this dearth of entries, there were two men who wished...
...print the programmes, if for no other reason, and never again, with the consent of the Executive Committee, will entries be received after the advertised time of closing. It would have been much better for that audience of two thousand people to witness those five events on last Saturday than to have to go about begging men to enter.

The registration list will close at ten o'clock Tuesday evening, the 29th, and it is of course understood that no one can vote unless his name is on the list. The matter is worth some trouble, and we hope that none will fail to present themselves before...
...Freshman Entry-Book will be kept open until Saturday morning to allow every opportunity for men to enter. At the present writing only four names appear on its pages, and if '82 do not come to time better, we shall fear that they are on a par with the upper classes in muscular inactivity...
