EXCEPT for the unfortunate accident in the Heavy-Weight Sparring, the last day of the Winter Meeting was as successful, though not as interesting, as the previous ones. The fact that there was only one entry in each of the wrestling-classes, and that therefore no cup was given, is a text for some criticism on the clause in the Constitution of the Athletic Association which directs that there shall be no prizes awarded for walk-overs.

'82 and '83 are scarcely behind '81 in zeal, but '80, deterred, perhaps, by the struggle for a degree, is unable to produce more than four men who are even interested...
...whatsoever for the English records to surpass ours thus, except that the Englishmen think of competing in time to allow themselves due preparation, and it is sincerely to be hoped that our own Intercollegiate this year will prove that American colleges are not behind the English in the active interest taken in athletics...
