The addition of the tug-of-war to the intercollegiate games to be held at the New York polo grounds this spring, will add greatly to the interest of the occasion, and will create an emulation which will bring out the best men of the colleges represented. A suggestion has been made that a greater variety of events be presented at these inter-collegiate meetings, and that among other events, sparring have a prominent place. This suggestion for several reasons we can hardly deem practicable. What would be an especial objection, is the fact that the contestants in the different bouts, in their zeal to show and prove the superiority of the colleges they represent, will be liable to think more of hard hitting than scientific sparring, and what might be otherwise interesting contests will degenerate into so-called "slugging matches." This, of course, would create personal enmity and ill-feeling, and gradually the same feelings between the colleges would be caused, where only friendly relations should exist. Let us make the inter-collegiate meetings as interesting as possible, but let good nature be characteristic of all the different contests.
