In order to come out on top In this
match the George Washington entries
will have to defeat teams from the fol-
lowing colleges which have entered: Della

University, University of California Uni
versity of Nevada University of Pennsyl-
vania, State University of Iowa, University
of Idaho. Martis College Of Atlanta. Ga,
Yale University, College OF st. Thomas
EST. Paul., Washington State College. and
last years winners, Columbia University.
This is by far their most ambitious un-
dertakng, but as they have all Of the
members of last years outdoor team as
a nucleus, they should prove equally as
strong indoors and give a good account
of themselves. AS the George Washington
team is Nashington's only representative
in this classy field, its scores Will be
watched with much interest by all local

Ernest F. Wenderoth,
Treasurer.

The rife team OF the George Washing
ton University is one of the strongest in
the intercollegiate ranks. The great
work of this team has not been fully ap-
preciatcd hv the student body or the fac
,,lty. but plans are now afoot which, If
they materiaIize will put the rifle team
on a par with the other teams at the
university.
Three assistant managers are to be
elected in the near future. and one Of
this number will be selected by the ath-
letic council of the university as manager.
This manager will become d member OF
the council. and will have vote and all
privileges allowed managers of the other
teams. Although the chances are that
the much-sought-for ''W'' will not be
awarded. the association is hopeful that
winning members of this team will be
reco gniZed In some way, If only by the
awarding of numerals.
Although 1t is not generally known, the
George Washington rife team is the
present intercollegiate champion for out
door rifle shooting, and has two legs on
the handsome trophy offered by the Ma
tional Rifle Association of America. This
trophy was first offered in 1903, when it
was captured by the Princeton University
team. In 1906 George Washington proved
the winner; in 1907 the match was not
held, and in 1903. at Wakefield. Mass,
the George Washington team, composed
OF Capt. Patterson. F'ehr, Dolby. Thlgpen,
BoWker and Howell, was again returned
the winner, having defeated such teams
as Harvard University, Boston "Tech''
and University OF Pennsylvania The
Yale University team was also entered,
but did not compete.
AS this trophy Is to become the perma-
nent property of the team winning 1t
three times. members of the local aggre-
CATION are very hopeful, and make the
prophecy that 1t is now in it's permanent
resting place-the George Washington

No Marathons for Sheppard.

NEW YORK, March 6.-Mel Sheppard
no longer believes he was cut out for q

but worked it out Of hts system. A couple
Of weeks ago about all the youngsters in
Philadelphia began training for run to
be held under the auspices Of one Of the
local papers March ~. Sheppard vol
unteered to help coach them. and at the
time 1t was thought this was Just to
enable the champion half-miler to get in
some training for his regular distance
that he could not otherwise get But
Shep had been bitten and had hopes him
self of starting in that same run, doing
as We'll as he could and then setting sail
for the Boston A. A. classic. He was
really serious In his intention to try for
Marathon honors. SO he began his
coaching" He started out with the
bunch. gave his pupils many tips they
will find valuable later ON. but could not
himself profit by his own Instructions
He finished the nine-mile course in fairly
good condition. But for some DAYS later
he was on the hospital list. tied up tighter
them q knot and hardly able to walk.
That experience convinced him that his
field IS elsewhere. He will stick to the
quarter and half. and when 1T is neces-
sary that he go beyond his distance. as
1t was at London last summer. he will
take f1ier at the mile. But beyond that
he will not go.

is on view at the clubrooms. This is the
second year OF the tourney. and 1t Will be
noticed with regret that last years Rice
champion, ]. w. Byler. the Interior play

The Rice gambit is named after its in
ventor, Prof. Isaac l.. Rice OF New York.
the well known liberal patron of chess
both in this country and abroad. II Is a
variation of the Kaiseritsky attack. one
of the numerous kings gambits. and has
for some years been the object OF search
ing investigation the world over by mas

bit Is brought about by white leaving his
knight zen prise" when castling on the
eighth move: the black bishop captures
the piece and white IN turn attacks the
bishop with his rook. The gambit there
fore may be said to begin with black s
ninth turn. and here wide choice of
moves is given the defense. All of the
recognized good plays. however, lead to
the Hveiest kind OF chess and the most
bewildering combinations are At once
opened out to the players.
Owing to the inf1nitude of chess. the
question Of whether the Rice gambit Is
sound or otherwise may never be proved.
Experience, both in correspondence play
and over the board has. however. shown
1t to be about an even thing between the
attack and the defense. 1t Will be very
interesting, therefore, to see how 1t will
