Tests for the annual strength test competition may be taken in the Gymnasium at any time before May 1. The candidate may chose either the old or the new tests.

There were nearly twenty coaches instructing the players, among whom were F. D. Cochrane '99, J. Cranston '91, W. H. Lewis '95, J. Dunlop '96, F. S. Newell '92, J. Upton...
