Until yesterday the H. A. A. had thought it improbable that the tournament could be held because little interest had been shown in boxing, but the Athletic Committee finally has decided that enough men are now engaged in the sport to make the tournament practicable. It is impossible to hold the meet in the Union this year as has been done in former years, because of its use as a dining hall. Considerable interest has also been shown in the wrestling class which is held in Randolph Gymnasium on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons under Coach Allen...
...Both Yale and Princeton intend to do the boost they can with the facilities that exist in order to build up a crew, and with good sport as a guiding star, to enter as many events as is compatible with economy and the endurance of the oarsmen.

...restore intercollegiate games, we do so for a reason greater than the satisfaction which we are able to derive from humbling other colleges. At present there are many men in the University who wish to take their exercise this spring in baseball, crew or track. These men select the sport which interests them most, and although they are not of the same degree of excellence as those who made up our teams formerly, they should not be denied the privilege of enjoying their chosen field because of this fact...
