We wish to call attention to the notice given in another column, by the secretary of the athletic association, to the effect that all entries for the first winter meeting close this evening. So far, the entries have been but few, and therefore, we take this last opportunity to urge men to enter their names for those events to be contested at the first meeting. It shows a deplorable lack of interest on the part of a large majority of men in college, when it is necessary to give them repeated urgings in order that the meetings may not be unsuccessful from the lack of sufficient entries. There have usually been so large a number of entries for the wrestling bouts that too much time has been taken up at the regular meetings with this feature of the sports. The management this year, bearing that fact in mind, took the trouble to arrange a special meeting for the benefit of the wrestlers. It was found, however, when the time came for holding the meeting that there were not enough entries to make it worth while to hold the proliminary bouts. It is unfortunate that so little interest was shown in that feature of the contests, and we hope that it was not a fair example of the enthusiasm which men are to show for the success of the other meetings.

Men are prone to be deterred from entering the contests from lack of confidence in their own powers, and these men especially we would urge to profit by the manifest advantage to be gained from contesting in the meetings.
