Special Contests at Yale.

Yale will this year hold a series of contests in putting the shot and throwing the hammer, similar to those held here last year, but which will be given up this winter owing to the lack of interest. The first meeting will be held January 29, and at least one every week thereafter. The meetings will all be handicap. The new men will at first receive the full allowance, and after that be handicapped at their respective records. The prizes will be awarded at each meeting and held until the final, and the man having the best record for points for the year will retain the prize.
