...cleared by G. B. Morison, '83, at his second attempt, the cup therefore being awarded him. G. H. Heilbron, '83, the Harvard light-weight champion, and O. J. Lowman, '84, were the entries for the featherweight sparring, Heilbron again proving victorious, though Lowman was plucky and quick. The tug of war between '81 and '82 was won easily by the Seniors, who pulled their opponents over in two straight heats. The judges of the fencing were Messrs. Norman, '81, and Cushing, L. S.; and for the sparring, Messrs. Lee, Parker, and Barnard...
...Gymnasium authorities to provide any facilities for the practice of wrestling. Another more important one is the Faculty's prohibition of Graeco-Roman. But, however this may be, the fact remains that wrestling at Harvard now amounts to nothing. Another feature in our athletic exhibitions needs improvement. The tug-of-war is always arranged at the last moment, and the men who pull have seldom practised more than three or four times together. Now, the heaviest possible teams are chosen from each class with the purpose of showing which class can really pull the hardest. This makes an exciting contest...
...each event, and possibly more; and it must be remembered that all of the above are events in which much careful practice is absolutely necessary. To this list of events, for which we have absolutely no representatives at present, let us add the Hurdles, the 1/2-Mile Run, and the Tug of War. For this latter event, in which we are totally unskilled, we ought to have a team already at work, for it is a game in which science (gained only by long practice) almost invariably wins if the teams are at all evenly matched in weight, as this year...
...Messrs. W. B. Parsons, '79, Columbia; and W. G. Twombley, '79, Harvard. It was then moved to omit the standing high and standing broad jumps from the programme, but after a heated discussion, the former motion was lost, the latter, however, eventually being passed. The aggregate weight of the tug-of-war teams was limited to 600 pounds. Lafayette College, of Easton, Pennsylvania, was admitted; and the Executive Committee were given power to admit McGill College, Montreal, should she apply. The following officers were then elected by acclamation: President, Walter I. Badger, Yale, '82; Vice-President, Evert J. Wendell, Harvard...
...limiting of the weight of the tug-of-war teams to 600 pounds ought to bring out a goodly number of entries. Last year we did not send a team for this event, as our heavy men were all engaged in trying for the 'Varsity; but this year no such objection exists, and we ought to be able to find four good men who fulfil the above conditions to represent us, especially as it counts one point toward the championship cup, which will be sent to us for safe keeping as soon as it is made, owing to our last...
