sophomor~s Win Cane Rush and Tug.
of-War


1923 in the annual cane rush and s-of-
war between the two lower classes, which
was staged following the football game
al Centennial Field Saturday afternoon.
The sophomores won the cane rush by an
accepted score OF ~ to AZ. Some claim
that the sophs had more points than this.
but the canes were not in evidence al The
final came. The sophomores took the
first two pulls in the tug -of-war and
settled that affair in a hurry In spite
of the fact that the second year men
piled m n large score against the fresh
men. the cane rush was good scrap.
There were lO1 men from each of the
two lower classes in the contest. and S.
canes were placed in the middle of the
field. with the classes lined up AZ equal
distances on each side. At a given sig
nal the rush began, and re next seven
minutes were filled with the roar Of bat
tie Several Of the contestants came out
of the fray with bloody noses and there
were :he usual number OF garments rip
ped open, but no serious casualties have
been reported The Boulder men had
some difficulty in preventing the sophie
mores from passing canes into the crowd
for greater security in keeping them. In
stead of getting the tar Knocked out of
in this case were pulled into the tar.
Before the beginning OF this contest,
barrel of tar was emptied on the grass
and the middle Of the rope was held
lust above this black pool when the pull
began. The sophomotes got the drop on
the lucIless "frosh," who were hauled
forward into the tar and beyond the hope
OF recovery they slipped and lid
through the black. Shiny DOSE. After the
first freshman had been pulled into this
tar pool il vas all over. There was
no hope Of recovery. The same thing
happened on both pulls The freshmen
were beaten on the drop and after the
frst half minute they had not a ghost
of show.
