Snow Dampens Traditional Tug-of-War The traditional freshman sophomore tug-of-war scheduled to precede the Homecoming game was cancelled because of the snowy weather. An annual practice on the Uni versity campus requires the freshmen to wear their frosh beanies until the first snow flies or until they beat the sophomore in the tug-of-war. This year the freshmen were not compelled to take part in the tug-of-war because the first snow of the season came over the week end. In past years only freshmen and sophomore boys have par ticipated in the tradition. How ever, the teams for this season were to have been composed of both boys and girls. Teams have always before been recruited from the organized houses on campus. The Tassels, Corn Cobs, and freshman pep squads were to make up ibis year's squads. Under the direction of the In nocents, the Tassals and Cobs se lected 20 girls from the frosh pep squad, 20 Tassels, 20 boys from the frosh pep organization and 20 Cobs to compose the group of contestants. Frank Jacobs and Gene Berg were in charge of the tug-of-war for the Innocents and Jackie Hoss and Gene Johnson wer representatives of the Corn Cobi and Tassels. The tug-of-war is an annual Homecoming tradition on the Ne braska campus for freshmen and sophomores. It is also a tradi tional occurrence on campuses through the country.
