Tug-of-War for the Intercollegiate Games.

It is very evident that the college as a whole takes no interest at all in the tug-of-war. There are at least a dozen men in college who have had experience in pulling either on the class or 'varsity teams, but of these only one has been induced to come out this year. Capt. Moen has left the matter entirely in charge of Robb '93, who anchored on the freshman last year. The training consists at present of five or six pulls of two minutes each against a wagon spring, light work on the chest-weights and a short run. It is not by any means certain that Harvard will be represented in this event at the Mott Haven games, but a team chosen from the present candidates would have for anchor, Robb '93, 170 lbs.; for rope men, Wood '91, 157 lbs., Macallister '94, 140 lbs., and Ganson, '92, 130 lbs., or Eddy '94, 150 lbs. The men will probably be sent to the training table at the end of the week or disbanded.
