Meeting of tho oxford Club.
The Hartford Courant states that Walter
Camp says Corbin '89, Bull '8S g., Wallace
'89 and Wyllis Terry 'S5 will play on the
football team this fall. II is hardly possible
that such will be the case, but if it were 1t
would be no more than fair, seeing
that Harvard and Princeton have induced
several of their graduates to come back and
play football.
The Gun club held shoot at its grounds
yesterday afternoon. The feature of the
shoot was the breaking of 30 clay pigeons out
Of 20 by L. II. Burrell 'o3. Pike go was Sec
ond on the list. There were eight or nine at
the shoot, and about twelve are expected to
take part In Tomorrow practice. Burrell
'93 and ]. B. Thomas '9S were taken in as
members Tuesday evening, and three more
will join at the next meeting. A match will
be arranged with Harvard, to take place
about Thanksgiving.
A meeting Of the Oxford was held yester-
day afternoon. Owing to the fact that many
had Rotations, the attendance was small.
Mr.. Amerman 80, who was announced in the
Yale News as one of the executive committee
of the club, said that he was not Methodist
and therefore could not be member of the
committee. Barnes '92, Mann '92. w. Parker
