The ice-locked streams OF Illinois
have proven advantageous to CONNER

able TO snare a large quantity Of fish

and will fight the injunction procured
by the Beebe Duck Island Hunting and

PENNSYLV LVANIA LEADS
IN SHOOTING EVENTS
Tops List for Registered Tour.
neys, With 38, Six Better
Than Any Other State

Has trapshootlng reached out its hand
and taken firm grip on the Pennsyl-
vania sportsman? Well, to make the
answer worth while few facts should
prove enlightening.
The Interstate Association, an organ
ization for the encouragement Of shoot
ing In its annual session held recently
at Jersey City reported that out of a
total numbered of 333 registered tourna-
ments held in the United States this year
the average attendance was $3.50 for
amateurs and SIS for professional gun
ners.
The total number OF targets trapped
aggregated approximately 100000 blue
rocks. This means that 1850 targets or
more went soaring In the air to meet
more or less their fate at the hands Of
the shooter. These facts came direct
from Secretary Reed Shaner in his yearly
report.
Pennsylvania contributed of this gross
number of Journeys, the highest amount
OF registered matches. 80 in all. six better
than the nearest rival. Illinois. New
Jersey held five big shoots, while the
State of Delaware gave but three.
In the Keystone State nearly $4,000 clay
targets were trapped. This was not the
largest number of targets released from
the machines. however. in the Interstate
Association, for Illinois led in this re-
spect. the Westerners shooting at 666,275
inanmate birds. Pennsylvania had an

DEATH CALLS FOUR
YALE GRIDIR0N STARS
Shevlin, Brown, Stillman and
Hogan Answer Summons.

The death Of Tom Shevlin adds an
other name TO the list of famous Yale
football linemen who have died in re-
cent years when apparently on the
threshold of business career as
promising and brilliant as their grid
iron record just q few years back. Four
great Yale scrimmagers VINO won their
"Y" in play since 1900 have died within
the last decade-Gordon Brown. Still
man, Jim Hogan and Shevlin-all leav-
ing football records that few grldiron
stars since the beginning OF intercol-
legiate play have equalled. -.
This quartet Of giant linemen played
game after game without injury dur
Ing the entire four years of their un-
dergraduate lives, making the mythical
All-America eleven with an ease and
regularity which left no doubt as TO
their football ability.
Brown and Hogan were selected for
four consecutive seasons at guard or
tackle. respectively, while Shevlin made
an end position in three on. Of his four
college years, and Stillman was chosen
two seasons at tackle. A glance at the
caibre of players wearing uniforms in
those years and the type of game
played will add impressiveness to these
feats.
In the case of Shevlin, It is only nee
essary to mention that his running
mate was the famous Rafferty,, and that
when Yale lined up against Princeton
these Blue jerseyed ends were opposed
by the famous Tiger pair. Davis and
Henry. while Bowditch was holding
down a wing position for Harvard
about the same time.
As captain Of the Yale team of 1905,
Shevlin left record that few gridiron
leaders can equal. His team played
eleven games, scoring 227 points to its
opponents 4. The lis included Yves
leyan, Syracuse, Springfield, Holy
Cross, Penn. State, West Point, Column
bia. Brown, Princeton and Harvard.
The Tiger team was the only one to
score on Yale that season, the final
result being Yale 20, Princeton 4, while
a week later Harvard was defeated by
a score of TO 0.
