The first freshman tug-of-warman was waist deep in the rushes 0n the east bank before his team mates com- menced the rally that carried him back to dry land and eventually routed the sophomore cohort 0n the opposite side of the lake. The 1921 pull, staged on Campus Day, was next to the longest that has been held on the Reed campus, and it marked with success the initial appearance of the class of 1925.

An alumni team, composed of stars of former years such as Shumway, Foley, Brockway,Wills, Riddle, Gevurtz, Work- man and Fordyce, met all of the interclass league teams, and made a creditable showing, despite lack of practice or training. ' Baseball ASEBALL did not get under way until late in the season, J due to the continuous rains that kept the field well under water until May. A schedule had been drawn up by the time the GriHin went to press, and a series of interclass games arranged.

Page Eighty-four Reed team was first year material. The Oregon. City relay, premier event of the spring semester, was staged w1th all of the traditional ceremony of years gone by; and 1n every respect 1t lived up to past performances. The freshman team of twelve husky milers completely outran the best talent of theother three classes, and romped home with a safe lead over the Junior crew. Ths sophomores finished third and the seniors, who four years back had TTcleaned up the school, were forced to be content with last place. Tennls ENNIS has never failed to rank high in spring athletic favor. This year two tournaments have been staged with unusual success. The first was an interclass affair, which corn- menced with the good weather early in May and continued throughout the month. It was still in progress as the GriHin went to press, and the winner has not yet been declared The second tournament to attract Reed net players was the Open Tennis Tournament, in which students of both class and faculty were eligible. An unusually large number of players have taken part in the play. 'With a number of last years tennis stars back in school, and with several contributions from this years freshman class, Varsity tennis seems to be in for a banner season. SteHen, Blew, Durham, White and Brockway of last seasons team, and Platt, a freshman, showed up well in early season practice. Two matches have been scheduled, with the University of Oregon and Oregon Agricultural College, and negotiations were opened with Willamette Uni- versity for the 1922 schedule.
