THERE were thirty-four entries in all, in the thirteen events of the three meetings in the Gymnasium, - a very small number, but in nearly every case the men who appeared were the very best performers in their specialty to be found in College. Representatives of '83 won three events, including both the jumps. The Sophomore class was lamentably deficient, supplying only two entries, neither of whom were winners. The Juniors won seven of the whole thirteen contests...
THREE of the Class Nines - Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen - are already hard at work, and the prospect for an exciting contest is indeed encouraging. '81 has taken hold of the project with a commendable enthusiasm, that was scarcely to be expected, considering the large number of men she has contributed to the 'Varsity and Class crews. That there should be twenty-three men in training for a Class Nine shows an interest in athletics and an amount of class feeling that is indeed surprising in these days of indifference. '82 and '83 are scarcely behind '81 in zeal...
...were present, they adjourned. The general lack of interest evinced by the small attendance at this meeting has compelled the Seniors to abandon the project of competing for the prize. Eighty-one from the beginning has shown great enthusiasm. They began practice a week ago with fifteen men. This number has increased daily, till there are at present twenty-three men trying.

...third and last day of the H. A. A.'s Winter Meeting took place on Saturday last, in the Hemenway Gymnasium, and, although very interesting, was not so successful, either in the number of the events or of the entries, as the meetings of the two preceding weeks. The excellent management which has characterized the two previous meetings was again noticeable in the promptness with which the different events followed one another, and gave great satisfaction to a large number of spectators, many of whom were graduates. First on the list came the vaulting (with one hand), for which Messrs...
...swinging was very graceful; but, as on the parallels, his motions, though very well executed, lacked variety; and as Mr. Luce showed a lamentable want of practice, the contest for the prize was quickly narrowed down to Messrs. Brandegee and Howe. The former, with 8 lb. clubs, executed a number of very difficult motions, his back curves and straight-arm swings being particularly noticeable for their excellence; while Mr. Howe, with 2 1/2 lb. clubs, accomplished some very intricate and complicated motions, many of them, however, wrist motions, which it would be impossible to execute with heavier clubs...
