New Rides For Games Announced Several Spring Day games rules, different from those in past years, and several amendments to this year's rules were announced follow ing the Spring Day house chairmen meeting Monday. New rules affected the tug-of-war, push ball, the three legged race, pig catching and the pushup contest. Tennis Shoes In the push ball contest and tug-of-war, the Spring Day committee is requiring all contestants to wear tennis shoes. This is being done in order to give everyone near ly equal traction, according to Bob Paine, competition chairman. In the-three-legged race, instead of haphazard arrange ments, the Spring Day com mittee will pair off the ent rants prior to the contest. The committee expressed hope that some "new friends" might be made in this way. Women's events include an entirely new contest, the shot put. Regulation form as dem onstrated by an N club mem ber will be used by all par ticipants. In the push ball contest. team members must stav on their own side of the ball or they will be disqualified. In the pig catching, the pig must be put in a sack after it is caught in order to win the race. House representatives voted to eliminate one push ball rule which had been pronosed by the Spring Day commit tee. This rule stated that the hail could not be intentionally lifted off the ground.
