EVERY one is looking forward to the pleasure of witnessing some good contests at the Winter Meetings of the H. A. A. next March, but we are afraid that not all are looking forward to the pleasure of taking part in those contests. This being the case, we wish to urge every one who has reason to suppose that he can, by faithful training, make a good showing a month from now, to go to work at once with energy. We say this especially to Freshmen, because, as has been said before, it is in the Freshman year that a class wins its reputation, good or bad, as the case may be. Let '84 take good care that theirs shall be a good one. In regard to the exhibition we also wish to say a few words. It will be the first thing of the kind that has ever been undertaken at Harvard, and will be more or less like the exhibition given every winter at the Union and other gymnasiums. For this reason every Harvard athlete should take pride in making it as good as possible, so as to compare well with exhibitions of like character. There does not seem to be a prospect of many entries on the Horizontal and Parallel Bars. This is probably due to the fact that because one or two men excel on these pieces of apparatus, every one else thinks that there will be no chance for him, and therefore he will not enter. Now this is just the wrong spirit for a man to have, and we sincerely hope it will not be shown this year. Certainly we cannot all be spectators.
