BOvdOin College Notes.

The annual rope-pull between the Sopho-
mores and Freshmen took place in front of
the chapel, Saturday morning, and proved to
be the closest struggle that has taken place
for some years. The classes were very
evenly matched and it was some time before
either side gained on its adversary. Finally,
inch by inch the Sophomores drew their OPP
ponents over, and would have dragged them
about the field had not the Seniors come to
to their assistance and prevented such re-
suit.
The base ball contest between the above
classes took place on the ''Delta," in the at
ternoon. and was somewhat devoid of interest,
from the fact that the Sophomores had it all
their own way from first to last. SO the
playipg was little ''loose. From this fact,
the full score is not given. The result was
Sophomores %, Freshmen 6.
