The annual tug of war event held at storrs college Tuesday resulted in a free for all scramble before it was finished. The event which is held across a pond, resulted in a victory for the second year men, in as much as they pulled the freshmen into the pond. But at this stage of the pro- ceedings there came a misunderstand- ing. The younger classmen admitting their defeat went to the sophomore side of the pond and started to cheer the victors. The latter not understand- ing the well meant act endeavored to push the freshmen back into the pond, but met with strong opposition and in some cases a severe ducking. The upper class has since apologized for their rash act and have been for- given by the new comers.
