The captain of the Mott Haven team has given a call in another column for candidates for the tug-of-war team. Laying aside the consideration that Harvard is opposed to the tug-of-war as a college sport, we still have the plain fact before us that, by refusing to contest in it this year, we should deliberately lessen our chances for the Mott Haven Cup. We cannot afford to lessen these chances for victory; and for that reason the captain is making every effort to put a winning tug-of-war team in the field. The duty of the college is plain enough. They must come forward in all earnestness, and back the captain up. There are plenty of men in college from whom to choose winning material. These men must decide whether or not they will do their duty by their college. We trust that they realize their responsibility.
