First came the tug-of-war which
the sophomores. though outweighed
won handily. Next was game OF
commando basketball. played with
one hand encased in a boxing glove
and the other hand free. This was
also won by the sophs. by score, If
not by roughness. A horse and
rider contest followed. in which the
sophs had four men and riders
standing at the close and so were
judged victors. The sophs were also
winners of the sack race, but the
freshmen salvaged something by
winning the final event, which was
a free-for-all. A few brave fresh
men succeeded in getting a dilapi-
dated ball across a makeshift goal
