P VS. lr r-:..-
One of the new events in the Olympics this year was the "bull pen" pfrtured at the
upper right Fifty men from each of the two classes rushed together at the
pole and attempted to hold as many of their opponents as possible within certain
boundaries. It developed into a free-for-all wrestling match. The sophomores
won the decision.
The ca rush shown at the lower right was another of the new events. Eight men
from each class were allowed to get ahold of an eight-foot cane. Then twenty
more from each class rushed into the melee from distance. The yearlings had
the most hands on the cane at the end of the ten minuUs and won the event

FRESHMEN WIN
OLYMPICS TILT
Victors Stage Snake Dance Im
mediately Following
Last Event.
MUST WEAR CAPS -
UNTIL CHRISTMAS
The class of '29 came through with
a victory over the sophomores in the
annual Olympics contest yesterday
morning, and as a result will doff the
green caps at Christmas time. With
wins in the cane rush, pole rush, tug-of-war,
and four athletic events, the
freshmen carried off first honors by
a score of 65-35.
The victors staged a snake dance
immediately following the last event
The long parade wound its way along
Twelfth street to O, then to Four
teenth street Traffic for almost
three blocks was blocked by the pro
cession which terminated in a great
rally.
First year men outnumbered the
sophomores two to one. Their
strength, however, was of use only in
the pole rush event when they easily
annihilated the sophomores. Black
shoe polish daubed on the faces of
freshmen distinguished them from
their opponents, who wore red.
The howling mob of freshmen and
thehan3ful of second year men wit
nessed the athletic events in the sta
dium. Three classes of wrestling,
three of boxing, the 440-yard relay,
and the tug-of-war were run off in
jthe bowl the and bul,
pen on the drill field north of Social
Sciences building.
Freshmen Win Two Matches.
Victories in two boxing matches
and two wrestling matches went to
the freshmen. They were the 158
and the 175 pound classes in boxing
and the 145 and 175 pound class,
AngelL, sophomore, was declared the
winner when his opponent, Andrews,
fell to the mat during the last round.
The freshman had represented his
, c,ass in tne lightweight wrestling
event before his boxing match and
was completely exhausted. The de
cision jwould easily have gone to him
hadTie lasted the round.
Two wrestling matches went the
limit of five minutes before a fall.
The middleweight class event was
won by Branegan, sophomore, in less
than three minutes. The other classes
145 pound and 175 pound, went to
Andrews, freshman, and Fisher,
freshman, on decision, no fall being
reached before five minutes.
The sophomore relay team won
easily in the 440-yard track event
The second year men gained an early
lead and kept it, the freshmen trail
ing by fifteen yards at the finish.
After the tug-o-war in which fifteen
freshmen pulled fifteen sophomores
across a line, the score stood at 30
20, in favor of the freshmen.
Competition It Keen.
Competition was keener in the
rush events than in any of the others.
They started about eleven o'clock
and a large crowd witnessed them on
the drill field. The cane rush was
won by the first year men. Eight
members of each class grasped a
long pole and twenty additional war
riors from each section were turned
loose on the contestants at a given
signal. The pole with its struggling
classmen swayed back and forth on
the field and finally was borne to the
ground. At the end of ten minutes
there were more freshman hands
than sophomores' on the pole.
The second year men brought mat
ters to a crucial point when they won
the bull pen struggle. The score
after the bull pen was staged stood
45-35 in favor of the freshmen. With
but one event to be run off, either
side had a chance to win. The soph
omores overwhelmed the freshmen in
the bull pen. Very few men were in
th freshman "pen" when the time
limit was called.
Pol Rnsh Held.
The deciding event the pole rush,
was perhaps the most interesting of
any. Robert Hoagland, sophomore
president was perched on a pole
about twelve feet high. His class
mstcs surrounded the pole to defend
him, but the enormous numbers of
the green-capped men made it impos
sible for them to stand their ground.
Hoagland was hauled down in less
than five minutes.
The cold weather lowered the at
tendance to a certain extent Only
a few spectators witnessed the events
in the stadium at 9:30, but a larger
crowd was present on the drill field.
The summary of events follows:
