Editors Daily Crimson:

DEAR SIRS:- I wish to call attention through your columns to the negligence of the H. A. A. in not giving medals for the tug-of-war teams in the last winter meeting. At the non-appearance of the Yale team three members of the '93 team and Mr. Wright, '92, volunteered to pull against the 'varsity to make an event.

It was thus made an open event, and it was announced to both teams that they were pulling for gold medals. The result was declared a tie after a long consultation of the judges.

The judges decided that if either side received the medals they should go to '93. The Athletic Association objected to this on the ground that it was not being fair to the other team. When it was proposed to give tie medals the association said they could not afford to give gold medals, but would furnish silver medals to both teams.

Either through lack of energy, or because the association think all interest in the affair has died out, the medals have not yet appeared.

The pull was a contest for medals, and it is dishonest for the association to withhold them.

FAIRPLAY.
