 As the result of recent ruling by the National Rifle Association, the Princeton University rifle team has been awarded the eastern non-mili- tary college rifle shooting champion ship of the season Of 1912-13. The readiustment of awards was made when the score of the Harvard team made against the Massachusetts Agri- sultGraI College was protested by the latter on the ground that Harvard team used long rifle cartridges in stead of short as called for under the conditions of the match. The claim having been acknowledged, the EXecu- tive Committee of the National Rifle Association of America threw out the Harvard score and gave the cham pionship of the Eastern League to the with Princeton in second place. The special trophy given to college not having military department, which had been won by Harvard, went to Princeton by this ruling.

The suggestion emanating from from Yale that the annual Harvard Yale football game played on the Sat urday following Thanksgiving instead of the Saturday before fails to find favor at Harvard. Tine Harvard Grim son in an editorial on the subject states:
 Time was when Yale played Prin- ceton and Harvard on successive Sat urdays and was well pleased with the arrangement and results. To post pone the game week would be to make football nearly winter sport. But. more than that, the Crimson be- lieves that any lengthening of the football season would be bad from the point of view of the players and of the collsg which suffers enough, as it is. from the football mania, A touch of the mania, such as we have TOW. is a splendid counterirritant, but if could easily become a dangerous disease itself.

 The University of Chicago Swim mers under coach White have been trying out the new aquatic game known as water basketball in order to determine whether the game will prove a practicable substitute for water rolo. Polo was officially abol- ished by Conference ruling two years ago, and since that time efforts have been made to secure a water contest which will prove an equal attraction Water polo was generally regarded as the toughest intercollegiate sport and has been viewed with much dis approvel for years.
 The action of Wesleyan in declining to meet Yale in football in 1914 has won approval from number of the followers of the game at the smaller Eastern universities. The idea of acting as trial horses for the big col lege elevens grows less attractive to lesser schools each year. Not once in blue moon does victory come to the little team, and injuries and broS- en combinations frequently result in defeat when the minor college team meets it's natural rival in the biggest game of the schedule.
