THE TUG-OF-WAR
The tug of war has for years been a popular part of school sports. The teams consist of eight meu, aud the contest is usually the best two out of three pulls, hanging ends meh time. It is remarkable liow a well-train I and well-balanced team can hold or beat a heavier team.
Two. things are most important. Always try to pull with an arched back. Dig the feet firmly, hollow the back, and then wait for your coach to give you the signal. The coach standing on one side, watches the other team and chooses the right moment, when they have finished a big pull or seem off their balance, to give the signal. Try to keep the rope as straight as possible
