COLLEGE GIRL
IN RIFLE SHOOT

Washington State College, Pullman,
Wash, Jan. 4.--College maidens would
like to hold competitive rife shoots on
the college rife range. Already a
number of prominent young ladies have
become so deeply interested in rife
practice that they have applied for
permission to use the range for prac-
tice work.
The matter OF the young ladies us
ing the rifle range has now been taken
up by Sergeant Pickett Of the regular
army, who has charge of that depart
ment at the state college. He will re-
fer the matter to President f. A. Bry-
an Immediately after the Christmas
holidays, when 1t will be taken up and
permission either granted or withheld.
The young ladies who are back of
the movement have already formulat-
ed a plan for an intercollegiate con-
test on the rifle range. They would
have a general tryout, open to all Of
the college girls, at which the five best
shots from each class would compete
for the championship Of the college on
the percentage basis.
One young lady states that her plan
would be to hold an intracollege cham
pionship contest among the girls, and
then follow this up with a champion
ship contest with the championship in
tracollegiate boys team. She feels
confident that the girls would stand a
good chance to turn out winning
team, as she is not a bit afraid of a
gun.
''I think that 1t would add much in
terest to the rifle shooting at the col
lege if the girls were allowed to en-
ter the contest stated President John
Wiley Of the rifle association. " am
In favor of granting them
franchise on the range. and if 1t is put
up to me. will recommend that they be
allowed TO compete"

FOOTBALL RULES
ARE ENDORSED

New York, Jan. T. Football as
played last season received the in
dorsement of the intercollegiate Ath-
letic association in annual meeting in
this city.
The association was instrumental in
bringing about the drastic revision of
rules. and with the adoption OF the
report presented by It's committee on
football rules, went on record as well
pleased with the results obtained
ION all Sides" declared Chairman
IT. l.. Williams of the committee,
opinion seems to agree that the game
under the new rules has been made
comparatively safe and reasonably free
from danger. That all possibility Of
not to be expected any more than that
1t can be eliminated from other manly
and virile sports. But the excessive
dangers have been overcome"
Capt Palmer T. Pierce. u. S. army,
president OF the association, reported
that its membership had increased
from thirty-fiye in 1906 to eighty one
this year. Because of this growth, he
favored change OF name of the Ma

FARGO COLLEGE
PLAYS TOMORROW
OPENING GAME OR THE SEASON
WILL BE PLAYED FRIDAY
NIGHT AGAINST THE ALUMNI
WARM CONTEST EXPECTED
FROM THE THlNLY CLADs.

The basketball season at Fargo col
lege opens Friday evening with game
against the alumni. 1t viii be called
at s O'clock on the college floor. II
being the first appearance OF the team
and also the temperance of several
star alumni players, there is consider
BILE interest being shown.
During the month Of January games
will be played on the local floor with
the Valley City Normal, Concordia
and the Fargo Y. M. G. A.
Games are scheduled with st. Olaf,
the A. G.. and st. Thomas in Fargo.
The team also meets the Moorhead
Normal, but the floor is undecided. A
game which promises to be good one
is with the ST Paul z M. c. A., played
in this city.
On March 4 the f. c. team meets
the agricultural college on the form
er's floor. This game is always ex-
citing and very close. For the fol-
lowing week a trip is being arranged
to the cities, where 1t is expected to
take on Hamline, st. Thomas, St.
Olaf or Macalaster.
The team this year is not developing
rapidly on account of the injuries Of
several of the men. Captain Forth
has been confined to bed for the past
five weeks with his knee in a cast. 1t
is very doubtful whether he will be
able to play at all this season. His
loss, combined with Pollock's leaving
and Perry's failure to return to school,
makes several hard gaps to fill. Harry
Haggart's weak ankle is slowly improv
ing, and it is sincerely hoped that he
will be able to round into form for the
big games
At present George Haggart is the
only man showing true form. Thayar
came out Monday for the first time in
a week, but is a little off color owing
to an attack of the grip.
The team this year, from present in
dications, will be made up almost en-
tirely of a new quint. 1t Is hoped that
several of last years star men will
come and support the team, but as yet
they have not signified such intention.
The candidates for forwards are G.
Haggart, H. Haggart, Horner, OAR
row and Walker. Thayer and Watkins
are contending for the center position.
Boise, Mcmillan, Spalding and Horner
are making things interesting in COM
peting for the position of guards. A
great deal of green material will have
to be developed, consequently this
years team will be of uncertain quail
ty.
The girls of the college are making
things hum in basketball. Four teams
have been chosen from the candidates
and series OF games will be played.
The four captains are Misses Ingles,
Sells, Dorff and Krantz. This series
of games win be played during Janu-
airy. Each team plays each other team
once. Twenty -four girls have reported
for practice, showing the interest taken
in the game. The games will be pri-
vate, only college girls and lady friends
are invited. Miss Crandal, the mana
ger of the first team, has arranged for
few games to be played outside.
Emphasis is being put on the feminine
side of the f. G. athletics and the in
terest taken Is very gratifying.

IN THE WORLD OF SPORT
FIFTEEN MINUTES
ACTUAL PLAY.

Here is a surprising item to
those interested in football.
A correspondent of The Harvard
Alumni Bulletin tried an expert
ment during the Harvard Yale
football game to ascertain how
much time was used in actual
playing, and his figures are aston
fshing. He confined his experiment
to one period, but was extremely
painstaking and had man to as
sist him. He used a stop watch,
starting it in each play with the
swapping of the ball by the CEN
ters and stopping 1t at the blowing
OF the referees whistle. He re-
peated this process through every
play OF the official fifteen minute
period and found that the players
were In actual motion, struggling
and fighting in offense and defense
only three minutes and twenty
seconds.
If the time of actual playing in
this period was fair average. the
duration Of physical exertion in
ShAC ASNA bCA ASOo Ill
teen minutes, much less time than
it takes to win and lose a Har-
ard Yale boat race.
Moreover, besides the partial
let-up between plays, there are
three periods of actual rest of
twenty-One minutes.
No doubt the personal contact of
man against man or men accounts
for the using up of players in
football, but the sustained SUI
preme effort of the oarsman is
Of longer duration. There is no
let-up for him until he has exerted
himself to his utmost for twenty
or more minutes.
1t is amazing that there are
only fifteen minutes. of actual play
in big football game An Off
hand guess would have nearly
doubled those figures.

LONGFELLOW BOYS
BEST ATHLETES
NORTH SIDE LADS MAKE THE
BEST RECORDS IN HOLIDAY

ED BY THE Y. M. c. A.

The big athletic tournament among
the lads of the city schools during the
holidays is continuing to attract a
great deal of attention. The contests
are being conducted by the Fargo Y.
M. c. A. and every school boy in
Fargo has been given an opportunity
to participate in them.
Yesterday the boys from the Long
fellow school building held the floor
and they proved the best athletes that
/ have yet been seen during the vacation
| period. They ran up 1000 points in
the athletic events and are leading
the boys of the central school by 40
| points, and thus are the leaders of
the tournament. The northsiders.
however. failed to beat the central
boys in the aquatic sports.
Edwin Wanmaller proved to be the
fastest sprinter for the northsiders,
and broke two records of the meet.
He ran away with the 220-yard dash
in S1N seconds and clipped the 100
yard dash down to 14h seconds, as
we'll as tieing the so yard event. John
Seaberg, however. was the best all.
round representative of the Longfei-
low school and won the most points
This athletic meet has been going
on for over week. All boys of the
public schools of Fargo and Moorhead
have been allowed to take part in the
events, whether members of the as
ISOLATION or not. The Central school
boys have been the head of the column
and were picked to win the meet, but
alas! There are yet two more schools
to take part in the tournament.
The boys department of the Fargo
Y. NJ. G. A. is to be commended upon
conducting the athletic meet. Run OF
at the vacation time, when the boys
have little or nothing to do. IL has
kept them out of mischief, developed
their bodies and minds, brought them
in contact with one another more
closely, by personal competition, and
allowed the lads who have never be-
longed to the Y NJ. G. A. to have
direct insight into the working of the
organization. 1t is to be hoped that
the affair will be made an annual one.

ATHLETICS in
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
AS SHOWN BY EXPERIMENTS IN

LY INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY
OF STUDENTS ALONG MANY
LINES.

That the Introduction of systematic
athletics in the public schools in the
United States has resulted in a so per
cent Improvement not only in physique
but in ethics, discipline and mental
alertness, Is the assertion of General
George w. Wingate, president of the
New York Public Schools Athletic
league, in his annual report just given
to the public.
He says: 1.-THE day of experiments
in this matter of athletics has now
long passed. 1t has now become es-
tablished upon such a firm foundation
in both the schools and the public
estimation that its future is assured.
With every year the standard of
athletic ability in our public schools
becomes higher and records consid-
cred wonderful when made are sur
passed. Alertness of mind and body
and the general air Of strength and
health resulting from athletic activi-
ties has been notable.
