COLLEGES MAY ORGANIZE
SEPARATE RIFLE TEAMS
Interest in Movement for New Branch

NEW YORK. March 17.&Judging
from the interest taken in the first dis
tinctly intercollegiate rifle match ever
held in this country. in which teams
from Princeton and Columbia competed
last week at the Seventh Regiment
armory. IL is safe to say that the move
ment which was begun at Princeton
last fall to organize a separate team
for rifiemen will in time spread TO the
other colleges.
Cornell has already formed a team
and may be seen in a triangular meet

city during the Easter vacation. Yale
has also been asked to organize rifle

tween Princeton and Columbia manag-

IL IS thought that a champion contest
could be held at this city in the Sew

trophy TO the winning college. II was
also agreed by the managers that
