Eighty-nine tug-of-war Team.

There are now six candidates for the senior tug-of-war team-Endicott, Raymond, Grew, Marquand, Anderson and Perry. Four of these men composed the team last year, but as the other two candidates are doing good work it is by no means certain that the old team will not be changed. Perry, who will anchor the team, made his first appearance yesterday, and his presence added materially to the practice of the rope men.

The men, with the exception of Perry, have been training steadily for the past week, and intend to allow about an hour every day up to the time of the winter meetings for pulling on the rope and exercising with the chest-weights. Though '89 in former years has been unsuccessful in her attempts to win the laurel for the tug-of-war contests, she will not lose it this year without a more severe effort than ever before.
