Frosh Badly Beaten
At Field Day Frolic
Wesleyan's freshman class, badly outnumbered and overruled, put up a good
showing at the annual Field Day, Saturday, September 21, losing 5-0,
The freshmen, small in both number and size in comparison to the upperclass
men, fought hard for the nine points that they earned in the football game. This was
not quite enough, however, to counter-balance the forty-five points the upperclass
men acquired with their tactics, both fair and foul.
The freshmen women, in the meantime, were playing tough ball control on both
ends of the hardwoods to finish the basketball game with a score of six to threeo
Upperclasswomen won, of course.
The co-ed volleyball and softball games ended with the predictable upperclass
victory. This came after the frosh women lost two straight in the best-of-three
women’s volleyball contest„
All of these events, of course, were merely warm-ups for the infamous tug-
of-war. The usual procedure was followed, with a five-foot-deep pit dug and filled
with water. By some accident, the hose got loose and the freshmen found rather wet,
slippery footing when the tug-of-war began. Preceeded by a contest to see who
could throw the most people into the pit and a frosh effort to soak down the upper-
class side of the battlefield, the tug-of-war finally got underway. In all four tugs,
the frosh found themselves in the muddy water, and many once-white outfits were
doomed to an existence of orange.
The losing freshmen were made to wear their beanies until September 28. This,
of course, had been predetermined by the upperclassmen and guaranteed by the
referees; the upperclassmen’s winning Field Day is an important tradition to con
tinue. But the battle is not over, since slave day looms in the near future over the
heads of the upperclassmen.
