Description
The photograph depicts a group of Fort Hays State University college students partaking in an outdoor tug-of-war challenge. The photograph is set outdoors at Big Creek in Hays, Kansas, in an area surrounded by trees and a sloped bank. A bearded man wearing a long-sleeved plaid flannel shirt, overalls, and wire-rimmed glasses is yelling at the young man, pulling on the thick rope as the other bystanders watch and yell. The tug-of-war participant, wearing striped athletic shoes, cut-off shorts with a woven leather belt, and a short-sleeved shirt with the Greek letter Phi is leaning his body weight back (to the right of the photograph). One woman bystander wears aviator glasses, a peasant blouse, and jeans. Next to her is a young man with shoulder-length brown hair. He wears a T-shirt with a cartoon image and jeans. At the far right is a college boy wearing wire-rimmed glasses and with hair just below his ears.
