Fresh-Soph Tie Up Ritual
Universities & colleges, Susquehanna University, Games, Sports, Students
The Fresh-Soph Tie Up was a competition between the male freshmen and sophomore students. It evolved in 1913 from the freshmen and sophomore " flag scrap". This event was held on the campus athletic field. The goal was to see how many from each class could tie each other up hand to foot. Whichever class tied up the most opponents was the winner. This event attracted many spectators. By the 1960s, tug of war replaced the "tie-up" event. By 1968 tug-of war became the freshmen and sophomore Olympics. This is a postcard of the 1913 event.
