Who’d of thought…..
When I was in the Navy they used to have inter-service (Navy, Army & Airforce) tug-of-war contests & it was all taken very seriously

I’m with you bring it back….heck they have two sports to make up for with the loss of baseball and softball, why not mens and women’s tug of war! Heck, we could start a petition! ;D

That would make an interesting sport for sure! If curling is a real sport, why not tug-of-war? :)

Great pictures.
What strikes me is the stark difference in the mode of dress then and now.
Amazing…those guys all have clothes on.
