Nah, the small kids went in the front. I put in a lot of time there so you can take my word on that. 
Big boys anchored and the stronger kids were better in the middle. Front group's role was just to dig in and hold on.

What were the rules back then? How many per team? Were there different numbers competing like in Bobsled? It would definetely be entertaining as a novelty event. I'd rather watch a good tug of war than a women's Gymnastics floor routine or Ice Dancing.

You put in a lot of time there and have a strong physics background and have analyzed it or you put in a lot of time there and heard a lot of bro-science from the guys in the back?
I'm guessing it's the latter, so I'm not going to take your word on it.
