TUG OF WAR FUN.

The tug OF war proved more entertaining than
scientific. The Scandinavian team was COM
posed Of much heavier men than the French
The Americans declined to enter the contest but
consented to a friendly pull against the Scan
dinavians which. however. did not come to
satisfactory conclusion. owing to the good nat
ured but utterly irregular cooperation of the
excited onlookers.
This ended the days programme. College men
who were prevented from competing yesterday
by the change in the agreed or. at least. under
stood arrangements feel none too kindly toward
the representatives of the University of Penn
sylvania for contestng. They assert that if
Pennsylvania had stayed out concerted action
might have brought about modification. The
University of Michigan, with Dvorack; the Uni
versity of Syracuse, with Prinstein, and Prince
ton, with two men in the pole vault and one in the
high jump, were those suffering most. Some
complain bitterly. declaring without equivoca-
tion that they have been unfairly treated Man
ager Jamison of Princeton, says:
BY the change pole vaulters and high
jumper were unable to compete after travelling
a great distance. Pennsylvania protested most
strongly against Sunday games. but finally en-
tered. l think her representatives should have
stood with those of the other colleges"
A conference held by the French officials
this morning regarding the protests yesterday
but they refused to yield, claiming that the
events must stand as settled yesterday and
that they are now finally concluded. The of
icials offered special series. but this PROPOSE
ton was declined.
