The third of the last winter meetings will be held this afternoon. The entries for all the events are very numerous, and it is assured that all the events will be well contested.
This is the first time that a Harvard meeting has been thrown open to members of other colleges and the event marks a great advance in Harvard indoor athletics. The meetings in former years have had a purely local interest and have failed to arouse any great enthusiasm. The plan inaugurated by today's meeting, if successful now, will undoubtedly be continued and will give the Harvard winter meetings an important place in intercollegiate athletics.
In response to the general invitation, men have entered from Yale, Columbia, Williams and Tech., including some of the best undergraduate athletes. Columbia sends her tug-of-war team which has proved invincible thus far. In this, as in all the events, the Harvard representatives will have to work hard and well to win, but under the circumstances, victory will be all the more creditable and defeat will be no disgrace. We have confidence in the men who are to uphold Harvard's glory this afternoon and wish them every success both on their own account and for the honor of the University.
