large majority of the graduates Of Yale; and could
they to-day vote n.thc subject think the of

men set them an example to be followed-united: be
''Yale men" and not 'Skull and Bones, Scroll and
Key" or any other society men.
In unity is strength, Is what the undergraduates
must le,fn aud President Porter aud the faculty can
help them to this wanted unity by abolishing ut

NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION.

LIVELY FUsILLADE ON THE "BACK" POSITION
AND THE PRACTICE OF THE REGULAR ARMY
TEAMS.
A meeting of the National Rifle Association was
called to order yesterday by Chairman n P. Stanton.
and. after preliminary business. the vocal
shooting began Colonel Wingate attempted bulls
eye by quoting from the terms of Mr. Henry Hill
toms military trophy. which were to the effect that
the shooting must all be made with the head toward
the target. He ana others advocated the "head to-
ward the target" position and denounced the ''back
position The advocates Of the ''back position for
distances over three hundred yards. among whom
was Colonel Litchfed. United States Army. claimed
that they thought any position suitable.
and they only wanted the matter settled. They
did not want to force the "back" position
upon any one. colonel wingate offered letters from
Generals Upton and Sherman indorsing TO a certain
the ''head to the target position, and quoted
the opinion OF other military men. At this point
taxing advantage OF lull in the storm, Colonel
Sanford on behalf of Mr.. A. Afford, offered two
hundred dollar double barrelled shotgun as prize
to be shot for 1t was accepted. and gold
badge to cost $25, offered by Major williamson.
Colonel Litchfeld said that most of the in the
regular army were to-day practising with the back
position i'll anticipation OF the tall matches, and
they would like to know il they had to change.
This brought matters to a crisis, and motion finally
prevailed appointing q committee OF live to reor-
ganize the rules tor shooting the resolution includ
ing the distinct proviso that the back' position
AT 1T AGAIN.
Then came up the question OF whether the regular
troops should be permitted to practice at the range
before the match. Colonel Wingate wanted to give
them weeks practice and Major Fulton increased
the time to two weeks Colonel Litchfeld said that
General Hancock was about sending letters to depart
ment commanders advising them to send their COM
peting teams to New York possible, and
he was in other ways taking great interest in the
matches. OF course Colonel Litchfeld SAID, there
would be no use in the men coming on if they could
not practice at the range. Some one then suggested
that each private soldier should become member
OF the National Association by the payment OF the
regular initiation Zee. This point was argued at
length after which it was moved and carried that
the regular army teams be permitted to practice.
mass OF routine business then transacted, after
which the Board went into the discussion of the
pediency of Offering money prizes instead OF medals.
While no action taken, 1t was evident that
jority OF the Board were in favor OF the change.
