...teams of 10 men), amateur tug-of-war for light-weights (teams of 6 men), each man to weigh less than 150 lbs., men to weigh at Wood's Gymnasium, 4 and 6 East Twenty-eighth Street, April 3, at 8 P.M.; military tug-of-war (by special request) between company teams from the Seventh, Twenty-second, and Twenty-third regiments, N. G. S. N. Y. (teams of 6 men). Each team shall be allowed two substitutes. Saturday, at 1 o'clock, P. M., there will be a four-hour race, go as you please, open to any amateur...

Most men have willingly done so, but there are a few notable exceptions; and these I hope the College papers will not fail to notice...
