GESSNER LYLE E. EISERMAN Superior Numbers Of First Year Men Enable Them To Triumph In Free-For-All Contests IS FOURTH STRAIGHT WIN Victory in the cane-spree yesterday morning at Ferry field, added to their victory Friday afternoon in the tug of war across the Huron, gave the sophomore-s, led for the fourth time by Walter Crego, '30, their fourth straight class games'victory in two years. This marks the first tie in four years and the second in ten that a class has won all of its class gaines. The sophomores gained possession of five of the nine canes and lost two to the freshmen, the other two con- tests resulting in a tie. The point awarded for this event plus the two points awarded Friday for their vic- tory in the tug of war assured the sophomores of a 3-2 margin in the games. In the obstacle race the first year nien took two out of the three five- man heats by large margins for a clear-cnt victory. In the first heat the sophomore number one man failed on the second lap to climb one of the two walls that barred his path, and conceded the race to his opponents. The sophomores took the second heat by a good margin but dropped the third by about half a lap, although the race was hotly contested through- out. Two walls to climb over, bar- rels to dive through, a large tarpaulin to crawl under, and two teeter-totters to run over provided the obstacles for the races. Freshmen Win Rope-Tie The rope-tying contest proved an easy and decisive victory for the freshmen who outnumbered their op- ponents about three to two and man- aged to tie up and detain 77 to the sophomores 19. When the gun sound- ed both sides stood their ground for a long time before the freshmen at length took the initiative and ap- proached warily the sophomore pen about 40 yards away. The sophomores took their station inside and around their pen, not dar- ing to t-ake the offensive. Unwary freshmen who approached too near were pulled into the pen and tied up by Crego and his men, while the freshmen led by their captain, Wil- liam W. Jamison, '31, seized on the sophomores and made frequent trips back to their pen with trussed-up prisoners. Sophomore Win Tug Event In the tug of war Friday 'afternoon the sophomores captured two of the three tugs which gave them their margin of victory in the games. The first 50-man tug between two picked teams from either class proved a walk-away for the sophomores who captured all of the spare rope and pulled the struggling freshman team half-way across the river. In the second 50-man tug the freshmen got the jump and pulled in about 30 feet of rope before their opponents were able to stem the rush and gain back a ten-foot advantage which they man- aged to hold until the 10 minues el- apsed. The free-for-all tug between the twC classes turned into a rout when the sophomores relinquished the rope as soon as defeat appeared inevitable The more numerous freshmen begar reeling in the rope hand over hand and the sophomores dropped it rath- er than be pulled into the river. THREE RUNS CHALKED UP AS MICHIGAN OPENS WITH DRIVING ATTACK 0OSTERBAANHITS HOMER Asbeck Hurls For Wolverines; McCoy Leads Rally For Home Team In Fifth Inning (Special to The Daily) CAMBRIDGE, May 5-Before a re- cord crowd of 10,000 here today, the Harvard nine defeated Michigan, lead-7 er of the Western Conference, by a, score of 8-5. Asbeck was on the mound for the Wolverines, while Bar-' bee, peer of the Crimson moundsmen, hurled for Harvard. The Wolverines started off by scor- ing three runs. Nebelung and Loos walked, but the, former was caught off second in an attempted steal. Loos crossed the plate for the first score of the game, as Lange reached the initial sack on an error. Corriden slammed out a hard single, but Lange was out when he attempted to reach third on the hit. Bennie Ooosterbaan, Michigan's much heralded eight letter-. man, drove out the only circuit clout of the contest sending Corriden home ahead of him. Harvard Ties Score Harvard came right back and ev- ened the count her half of the same inning. Burnes and Chase walked, and both came home on Donaghy's sizzling two base drive. Lord rapped out a timely single, sending Donaghy in with the third and tying tally. In the next two frames both hurlers kept the opposing batters well in hand. In the fourth, however, Har- vard went into the lead, when a walk, a two bagger, and Michigan errors let in two more runs. The Crimson's advantage was short lived, as Michi gan knotted the count in the nexi. inning. McCoy led the Wolverine rally with a single,.Nebelung walked, and Cap- tain Loos, diminutive shortstop, sent both his teammates home with a hard single. The Harvard defense tighten- ed at this point and successfully stemmed the rising Michigan tide. Michigan Scoreless After Fifth During the remaining innings, John Barbee, stellar Crimson mound- sman, held the Michigan sluggers in check, allowing no more hits. Asbeck, however, was less fortunate. In the seventh Harvard again aa sumed the lead, touching Asbeck's offering for three hits. Lord singled and stole second to open the frame. lHardy, pinch hitting for Sullivan, smashed out his sixth triple of the' season, scoring Lord. He came home a mom'ent later on a wild throw, from center. The eighth inning saw Harvard score the final run of the game. Chase crossed the plate on a sacrifice fly, after reaching first on an error.
