...held in the wrestling room of the Hemenway Gymnasium on Tuesday afternoon, January 16, at 4 o'clock. All those who intend to enter the tournament should sign up in the blue book at the Hemenway Gymnasium before Tuesday. The meet will be conducted in seven classes according to weight so that every contestant will have a fair chance to prove his ability.

Cups will be awarded the winners in the different classes as usual...
