Pull, Tug, Argue— But No One Wins
The lawyer-engineer tug-of-war at Potter Lake today developed into a free-for-all with both sides claiming victory and shouting charges of dishonesty.
The preliminaries took longer than the actual tug when an engineering problem with a snagged cable delayed starting.
A rules meeting between Robert Schaefer, Salina second-year law student, and William Franklin, Topeka junior, decided on a 25-man limit for each side. This limit was revised to 35 and finally to 45.
The lawyers on the east bank, urged on by Dean F. J. Moreau, made steady headway until the engineering judge took a recount and decided the lawyer's limit had been violated. He called across the lake for engineer reinforcements, many lawyers followed suit.
The lawyers released the cable, ending the tug-of-war but not the shouting.
