Harvard had entered no team for the tug-of-war contests. In these the Pastime club pulled Brown university, Princeton pulled the Manhattan club after one dead heat, the Berkeley pulled the Craigie club, and Varuna defeated Tech.

We now appeal directly to the three members of last year's team who are still connected with the university; and to the men who expressed themselves as "strongly in favor of Harvard's continuing to put a team in the field," in the issues of the CRIMSON of January 17 and 20. These men ought to feel that the chief responsibility comes upon them and that the college looks to them to come forward promptly as candidates...
