Harvard Wins Shoot.
The newly-formed Intercollegiate Shoot-
ing Association held the first of its semi-
annual matches on Saturday, May 7, at the
grounds of the New Haven Gun Club.
Teams representing Princeton, Yale, Har-
vard and Pennsylvania competed.
The shoot was won by Harvard with the
record-breaking score of 131 out of a
possible 150. The best previous intercol-
legiate record was 116, Oglesby Paul, of
the University of Pennsylvania, won the
individual championship. His score was
28 out of a possible 30.
The intercollegiate cup will become the
property of the team which wins the cham-
pionship three times consecutively. The
next match will take place at Princeton
this coming Fall.
The teams with the total scores are as
follows, no team being entered from Col-

Wale and the War.
To the Editor of YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY:
Sir—To one who was an undergrad-
uate when the Civil War broke out, the
scenes of the last few weeks recall
those former days of patrictic ardor and
devotion. He knows the emotions that
fill the hearts of the students and make
the prosaic round of College life seem
tame and vain, in comparison with the
duty of military service that calls some
among them with an imperative com-
mand.
Those days were darker and sadder
than these. Then there were separa-
tions of classmates who were to be op-
posed as enemies under different flags.
The good-byes that were spoken to
those who went to their Southern
homes were regretful and solemn, but
they were seldom, if ever, reproachful.
Our friends departed early, while the
surprise of the altered relation was fresh
and before we fully realized that the
question which had been a frequent
topic of academic debate had become an
awful issue of war, involving the life
of the nation and the freedom of a race.
Then the whole space between the old
Brick Row and College street was a
shaded lawn. There was much drilling
of squads and companies of students in
the first year of the war; but there was
no enlistment of students to go to the
front together. They left College by
ones, and twos, and threes, and during
vacation in larger numbers, to join
regiments organized at their homes. It
was no unusual thing for a student who
had obtained a commission to depart
during term time. The good will of his
classmates was commonly shown by
the presentation of a sword, the cere-
mony taking place on the College
Green before the departing soldier was
escorted to the railway station, or the
steamboat. |
The war which now summons patriotic
young men into the country’s service
is, in its circumstances and motives, dif-
ferent from the Civil War; but it is
war, and it makes a similar appeal to
the brave and the loval. It is not more
honorable than was the cause of the
preservation of the Union. The curse
from which Cuba is to be relieved is
not so foul, so cruel, so corrupting as
was the curse of chattel slavery in this
land. The Spaniard who extorts op-
pressive taxes and rules without magna-
nimity will not suffer in any fair com-.
parison of the motives and consequences
of his policy with those of the politi-
cians of the Slave Power.
Now the hearts of the students are
aflame with wrath against the mis-
guided statesmen and soldiers of Spain.
How will they feel twenty-five or thirty
years hence, Yale meanwhile having
erected no memorial to the patriotism.
of their fellows who abandoned all
and risked all in their country’s service,
if some class, persuaded of the amicable
virtues and sincere motives of a Span-
ish hero of this war, a Campus, or a
Blanco, a Sagasta or a Montjo, trans-
plants the memorial ivy from his tomb
to garland the-stately walls and nourish
the holy patriotism of Yale? W. A.

Yale, 0— Lafayette, 3.
Yale met her first defeat of the sea-
son on the home grounds, Wednesday,
May 4, in the game with Lafayette, by
a score of 3 to 0. The game was a
fast one throughout, the visitors win-
ning through the steady pitching of
Nevins and the sharp fielding of the
entire team. Hall occupied the box for
Yale and pitched well. His support was
not of the best, but Yale’s defeat was
due rather to weakness at the bat than
to slow fielding.

YALE 100. STRONG.
Harvard’s Chances in the Dual Games
Not of the Best.
(Correspondence of YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY ]
Cambridge, May 9.—The dual meeting
between Harvard and Yale in track ath-
letics next Saturday is awaited here with
much interest, especially as the war has
made the appearance of some of the best
athletes uncertain. It is consequently
’ more difficult than usual to forecast the
outcome.
Harvard will present a strong team, but,
in spite of this, it is believed that Yale has
the better chance. )
The absence of the mile walk from the
list of events will reduce the total number
of points to 104, making 53 necessary to
win. Harvard will profit more than her
opponent by the change, as there are no
good walkers on the Harvard team this
year. ;
In the sprints, Harvard will rely on
Roche and Bigelow, who have done well
in previous years, and Robinson, a new
man. Green, a Law School runner, has
improved much over his form of last
season and is also mentioned as a possi-
ble point-winner. Roche is commonly
reported to be in poor condition, not hav-
ing recovered from his injury last May,
when he loosened a ligament in his leg.
Bigelow is not doing as well as last year,
due perhaps to the increased care incident
to the captaincy. It is believed that Yale’s
chances for first place are better in both
the sprints, but Harvard looks for points
in each.
The hurdles are more even. Captain
Perkins of Yale is picked here to win the
high hurdle event, but ex-Captain Brewer,
who holds the world’s record over the low
fences, is counted upon to win in this race.
Morse of Harvard should run third. In
the high hurdles, Fox, who was second to
Perkins at New York last year, is relied
upon for two points, with third place going.
to Yale.
In the middle distance runs there is the
greatest uncertainty. Brewer is looked
upon here as the probable winner of the
440 yards run. In the half-mile, Draper
and Fullerton are Harvard’s best men, but
are far behind the standard set by Hollis:
ter, who graduated last June. Alexander
is a fair man at this distance.
In the mile, Harvard has Grant, who is
expected, without good reason, to retrieve
his poor showing at New Haven a year
ago, and Clark and Mills of the Freshman
class. Mills is the interscholastic cham-
pion. The race between these men and
Yale’s quartette of milers is keenly antici-
pated.
The bicycle race is expected to go to
Yale, with possibly one point for Harvard.
CLOSE IN THE FIELD EVENTS.
As usual, Harvard’s best chances in the
field eventsareinthejumps. Theabsence
of Waller and Weston from the Yale
squad, which is reported from New Haven,
should give two first places to the Crimson.
Morse, Rice and a new man, Ellis, are the
pick of Harvard's high jumpers, while J.
G. Clark and Nickerson can clear the
most ground in the broad jumps. |
The pole vault looks like seven points
for Yale. Hoyt of Harvard should get a
point. O’Donnell and Sutphin in the shot
put are likely to prove better than Har-
vard’s best, who is Ellis, a Freshman from
Andover. In the hammer throw, Boal or
Hennen of Harvard may secure second or
third place, but are not likely to win.
Judging by the showing made by the
Harvard athletes in the games on Holmes
Field last week, I think Yale should win
on Saturday with a total of 60 points or
more.

Yale, 2— Dartmouth, 0.
Yale defeated Dartmouth at the Field
on Saturday, by a score of 2 to o.
Fearey pitched a strong game, allowing
but two hits. Cook on the contrary was
hit freely, the Yale batters making
nine hits in eight innings. Both teams
fielded sharply. Sullivan caught well,
his throwing to bases, with one excep-
tion, being strong and sure. Yale’s
playing throughout was satisfactory,
with the exception of stupid base-run-
ning in the fourth inning.
