In our latest Slices contest (summer 2013), we asked readers to identify this Colgate tradition. Ted Vaill ’62 correctly answered that this photo from the 1963 Salmagundi shows the annual freshmansophomore tug-of-war competition by Taylor Lake. Vaill recalled: “That year, many more frosh than sophs showed up, and most of the sophs, including me, were from the Phi Kappa Tau house nearby. During the Tug of War, with 20 of us on one side and over 100 frosh on the other, on a given signal, we dropped the rope and ran for the house. Most of us made it, except for the unknown soph in the picture.”
