An interscholastic gymnasium meet in the Sargent Gymnasium is to be held on April 6 under the auspices of the University gymnasium team. Andover, Exeter, Groton, Milton, and possibly Brookline and Newton High Schools will send teams. The meet is still open to other preparatory schools. The events scheduled are: horizontal and parallel bars, flying rings, horse, club-swinging, and tumbling. Prizes are to be given by an anonymous "friend of gymnastics."
It is hoped that an interclass gymnasium meet, open to all members of the University, will be held in connection with the interscholastic.
The gymnasium team has now been organized for three weeks. The management hopes to arrange a meet with Yale for the latter part of March, and negotiations are under way for contests with Amherst College, Andover and Exeter. The team has been practising three times a week, on Tuesday in the Sargent Gymnasium, and on Wednesday and Friday at the B. A. A. So far only about 12 men have been reporting for the workouts. Additional candidates are to report to Coach Schrader after 4 o'clock on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Randolph Gymnasium.
Captain R. F. Wiley '20 has been showing up especially well on the horizontal and parallel bars. Other promising men are P. Allen '19, K. Campbell '21, E. Doniger '20, A. O. Fink '20 and G. D. Flynn '19. Owing to athletic conditions this year, Freshmen will be allowed to take part in all the gymnastic meets.
