Freshman Tug-of-war Election.

The candidates for the freshman tug-of-war team met in the gymnasium yesterday afternoon and elected M. I. Motte captain of the team. Mr. Motte has had considerable experience in tug-of-war contests, having been a member of the Hopkinson's school team. Allen and Potter are trying for anchor, and the other men are trying for positions on the rope. It is impossible as yet to know the make-up of the team. Potter or Allen will probably anchor, and Motte pull number two. The other men trying are of the usual weight but they lack experience. Before the first winter-meeting takes place, it is probable that the captain of the team will arrange several tugs to be pulled with amateur teams in and about Cambridge. The candidates for the team are working hard in the gymnasium every day, but the outlook for a good team can hardly fail to be discouraging as long as the number of men who are trying remains so few.
