...hundred and two men have been entered for the meet. The number is much smaller than that of last year; this is largely accounted for, however, by the absence of the Freshman team, who compete against Andover this afternoon. In no event was it necessary to limit the entries, as was done last year, so the captains have decided to allow practically all who have entered to compete. First place in each event will count five points, second three, and third place one; the first three undergraduates to finish in each event will receive class numerals, and the first...
...stated in the communication that "no one doubts in the least the need of a new gymnasium." If there are any doubters, their attitude will be completely changed by a visit to the present building. Aside from the lager defects in ventilation and room, there are many smaller ones which are just as objectionable. Apparently the mats are seldom if ever cleaned, for they are usually covered with dust. The shower baths have long ago outgrown their usefulness, and are absolutely inadequate when there are any number of men wishing to use them. In the bottoms of many...
Last year the minor sports did not report as large a deficit as in the year before, but the gain was due to wholesale reduction of expenses.

By abolishing the subscription system, and substituting the blanket ticket and the enlarged football stands, we believe that the total surplus will be as great as, if not greater than, at present, and an exceedingly troublesome and obnoxious system will be done away with...
...winter track carnival which will be held this afternoon, furnishes a typical example of the interest in scrub sports which is steadily increasing every year. Although the entry list is considerably smaller than last year's, the fact that nearly 200 men are taking part is a convincing proof of popularity. Since the plan was inaugurated two years ago, its success has ensured it a permanent place in the track season. The coaches are given an opportunity to see the relative advantages of all the candidates for the team, the monotony of the long winter season is broken...
...track team is not the only sufferer from these inadequate arrangements. The basketball team has a smaller number of candidates than in other universities and a poorer floor to play on, the gymnastic team is handicapped to a great extent, and the swimming team has no University tank to practice in. Aside from these regular athletic organizations, the great number of men who depend on the Gymnasium for their exercise in winter months are forced to put up with disadvantages which keep many men out of the building altogether. When the afternoon classes are in session the floor is often...
