The arrangements for the annual winter games of the Yale Athletic Association have now been completed. This year, as usual, the first night will be devoted to contests by men of the Second Regiment of Yale, while the second night will be open to all amateurs. Last year Harvard sent a number of competitors, and much good resulted from it. Such an opportunity should not be passed by, as the Mott Haven men need such practice as would be afforded them.

An especial feature will be made of the tug-of-war contests, in which there will be three classes, and entries from outside teams are greatly desired. The limit of weight in the open tug-of-war will be 650 pounds, but the intercollegiate tug-of-war will be under the rules of the Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The following events will take place on the first' night, Friday, March 15: Fencing (open to Yale men only); horizontal bar (open to Yale and Second regiment); exhibition pull of the champion Yale crew; regimental tug-of-war (open to Second Regiment only); intercollegiate tug-of-war; regimental mile run, handicap, (open to Second Regiment); bayonet race open to all amateurs); regimental mile walk, handicap (open to Second Regiment); 50 yards dash (open to officers of Second Regiment only); half mile roller skating race (open to Second Regiment ). On Saturday night the following events will be contested, all of which are handicaps with the exception of the potato and obstacle races, and all open to amateurs: 440 yards dash; running high jump; one mile walk; potato race; 50 yards dash; putting the shot; mile run; 220 yards hurdle; tug-of-war; obstacle race. The open contests will be under A. A. U. rules, and the handicapping will be done by Hegeman, the official handicapper. Gold medals of handsome design will be given the winners, and similar ones of silver the second men in each event, except the tug-of-war, when gold medals will be awarded the members of the winning team alone. The entry list is to be closed on March 2, and the right to reject or strike out any entry is reserved. Entries should be sent to F. C. Walcott, Secretary Y. A. A., 31 South, New Haven, Conn.
