The 1916 schedule of meets and exhibitions for the University gymnastic team will start on February 19 with an exhibition at Andover. On the following Saturday, February 26, the second exhibition will be given at Exeter. A triangular meet with Dartmouth and Technology is to be held at Cambridge on Friday, March 3. On March 9 an exhibition will be given at the Boston Y. M. C. A. Invitations have been sent to more than 25 preparatory and high schools to enter the fourth annual interscholastic meet at Cambridge on Saturday, March 11. The University will oppose Amherst on March 15 at the Hemenway Gymnasium and Brown on March 18 at Providence. The time and place of the Intercollegiate meet has not been definitely decided, but the probable date is March 25.

Analysis of Available Material.

The season's outlook for the gymnastic team is very promising, although only two point winners of last year are back, Captain W. Campbell '16 and D. Campbell '17, manager. The most serious loss is that of M. F. Gates '15, a consistent performer and certain point winner last season. Three other men lost through graduation are H. F. Ballantine '15, R. G. McPhail '15, and P. M. Symonds '15. A great deal will depend upon the work of the two Campbell brothers. Both are equally skilful on the horizontal and parallel bars, and W. Campbell is a good performer on the side horse and flying rings.

The only Senior out besides Captain Campbell is S. Hall, manager of the 1913-14 team. The most promising candidates from the other classes are H. L. Kerr '17, L. M. French '17, W. E. Hicks '18, L. M. Van der Pyl '18, F. R. Whitney '18, M. Blanchard '18, G. W. Bullard '18, A. I. Smith '19, and E. A. Benner '18. Regular practice is being held in the Hemenway Gymnasium every day.
