The remarkably small number of entries for the second winter meeting to be held this afternoon has called forth much comment from the college at large. Many of the opinions appear to lay the blame upon the management of the Athletic Association; and the men who are thus attributing blame to the officers of the association are in many cases the ones who are really responsible for the lack of interest shown thus far in the meetings. Many of these men are fully capable of contesting in the events of the meetings, and of making creditable showings even if not of winning prizes. The spirit which they show in censuring the management of the association for a state of affairs for which they are largely responsible, is most reprehensible, and one that should be strongly discountenanced.
From the fact that the entries for this afternoon are few in number it is not to be inferred that the meeting will not be a successful one. It can be made a success and will be if everyone will make it his duty to attend and encourage the contestants.
