Either I grew, or this pit shrank A freshman puller gives it everything he has. On September 28th, the men of the Freshman and Sophomore classes met to test their training, at the Black River. This tradition, which includes such things as heaves, strains, ontherope. off- the-rope. and the like, was won by the Class of 1988. After two and one half hours of struggling it was hard to determine which class had won. since no pits had been popped. With the extremely wet conditions, and more rain on the way, the tug was called and the rope taken in was measured. The Freshmen came out victorious, but not by much. Because of the closeness of the struggle, it was a true competition, and was ex citing to watch (if you could bear the weather). After all the hard work put in by both teams and the intensity in which they pulled, it was tough to declare a clear winner. '87 takes in the rope to start the Pull. The sophomores work together as a team. Sean O'Conner (Idi Amin) scares the freshmen into pulling harder. 12
