C. Thorne Murphy, the son of Mike
Murphy, the famous American Olynl.
pic team, Yale and Pennsylvania uni
versity trainer, has decided to enter
Yale next autumn. Young Murphy,
who was named after the great Yale
halfback, Brink Thorne, of the early
'9O's, is said to be one of the best
scholastic athletes in the east. He
plays baseball, football, basketball
and spirits the shorter distances in a
manner that makes him look like a
varsity star in three or four major
sports.
The suggestion of a university pro.
lessor that football players be insur-
ed against accidents, the premiums to
be paid from the gate receipts, is not
likely to find favor with accident COM
panies. While football playing is not
specifically classified, it would be
grouped with extremely hazardous oc.
equations or pastimes and it is doubt.
full if any company would issue poll.
cies except on almost prohibitive
terms.
According to the annual records of
the Interstate Trap Shooting associa.
ton 1873 tournaments we're registered

Foreign cables report that a group
of Harvard alumni gathered for it's
annual banquet in Paris on the night
CT the Harvard-Yal football game at
Cambridge. The dinner was consider.
ed a failure owing to the refusal Of
the censor to permit the delivery of a
dispatch announcing the result of the
gridiron struggle between the two uni.
versity elevens. Many of the gradu.
ates apparently forgot that while stu.
dents at Harvard they never had the
privilege OF seeing a Crimson team
defeat the Ellis.
Among the more important trap
shooting tournaments for the coming
year are the following: Interstate
Southern, Memphis, Tenn, May 9-11'
Interstate Western, Omaha, Neb.,
June 1916: Interstate Eastern Phila.
delphia, Pa, July 1920; Interstate
Grand American, St. Louis, NO.. Aug.

The manager of Fred Fulton has
prepared for publication sixteen hir.
ferent reasons why Fulton should de.
feat Jess Willard, if they meet in the
ring. When the list was shown to
Willard the title holder remarked that
unless Fulton could land harder and
more frequent blows than he did the
list would be useful Cor abb purpos-

Apparently the football season will
soon rival the baseball playing period.
Although gridiron armor is usually in
storage by December !, the present
year is an active exception. Brown
