AGAIN TO THROW
'TOIM'I'HS' AWAY
The red caps are gone! Once
again the freshmen emerged vic
torious in the annual freshmen
sophomore tug-of-war! Saturday's
battle of brawn, surpassing even
the Nebraska-K a n s a s football
game, saw a mere handful of
freshmen (about 600) conquer a
mighty horde of sophomores (I
distinctly saw three). The mighty
sophomores, intent on keeping the
red caps on the campus for a
while longer, took a tight hold on
the rope, gritted their teeth, dug
their heels into the ground, pulled,
and were pulled a fourth of the
way around the track by the sup
posedly outclassed freshmen, who
barely found enough space on the
rope for all of them to get a hold
on it.
