In the fall, freshman and sophomores participate in the intramural athletic competition called [[Cane Spree]]. Although the event centers on cane wrestling, freshman and sophomores compete in other sports and competitions. This commemorates a time in the 1870s when sophomores, angry with the freshmen who strutted around with fancy canes, stole all of the canes from the freshmen, hitting them with their own canes in the process.<ref>{{cite web|title=Cane Spree|url=https://princetoniana.princeton.edu/traditions/current/cane-spree|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210121213955/https://princetoniana.princeton.edu/traditions/current/cane-spree|archive-date=January 21, 2021|access-date=June 22, 2021|website=Princetoniana|publisher=Princeton University}}</ref>
