OvershoOting a Bird

A bird may be readily oVersho'
when it is flying straight away and
perfectly level, III consequence OF the
line of aim being so very short.
The gun to the shoulder
pointing but O few inches beneath
the target, and IL brought up quickly
there is probability that it travels
above the bird while the trigger is
pressed.
The problem of the shooter here is
TO start his line of aim sufficiently
below the mark so that the finger can
receive fair warning before the ,-Lie
comes to pull.
Another shot often going high is
when the bird rises to some little ele-
walton and then drives ava with a
Towering flight before the aim is GER
tain. 9
One of the most troublesome shots
In upland bird shooting Is when the
bird rises near the gun to a height
of rs or 80 feet and then goes OFF
level. The natural inclination is to
swing after him. unconscious that he
Is really going down toward the hor-
izontal line and that h aim must.
In many instances, be taken at least
q foot low.
Another hard shot is when the bird
flies low and towards the shooter.
The nearer the bird comes to you the
faster the muzzle swings, and at that
the bird either outpaces you or you
jerk ahead blindly without any aim
and kill only by accident. Incoming
birds should not be fired upon when
so feet or more way. Always hold
under for such O. distance-otherwise
IL Is almost a sure miss unless the
bird Is rising.

Penn State Fears Strong
Rutgers Football GriddcTS

STATE COLLEGE. Pa. Nov. 81
Coach Bezdek drove the Penn State
football squad at top speed yesterday
in preparation for the War Work
Fund game here Saturday with the
Rutgers eleven. Assistant Ccaca
Yerger saw the Scarlet eleven all but
annilate Charlie Brickley's Navy
Transports at New Brunswick Tues
day. and his observations showed
plainly the need of much hard work
If the Jerseymen are to be turned
back. As a result of his report there
will be some changes in Penn State
tactics. n from now until Saturday
BeZdek will pound away at his offense
and bolster up his defense in the hope
OF giving Sanford's men a real battle.
Although two of the best varsity
men. G.. w. Brown, right end, and
Killinger,' ~halfback, were on the
sidelines with injuries that may keep
them out of the game. the regulars
yesterday went through a drilling
scrimmage against the second eleven.
Kord played in Browns place on the
wing, while Knabb took up KILN
gers duties in the backfeld. There Is,
however, a chance that Brown and
Killinger will be sufficiently recovered
to take their places in the lineup
against the strong New Brunswick
machine.

and lung power next wednesday
night when Charley Goodman, now
of this city, meets AL DeRose OF Pat

both boys will put up a good fight
and 1t seems his expectations will be
realized Judging by the way Charley
is training. Every spare moment not
utilized sending shells to Germany he
puts into strict and hard training.
From all indications a battle royal
will result.

that Germany was licked. was to lick

Johnny Evers Commands Snap
and vigor Of Americas Best

PARIS. Oct. "a (By Mail)-One
point which the United War Work
Campaign ought to make clear TO the
American public. In the opinion or
Johnny Evers. a Knights of Columbus
athletic director and secretary over
here. is that when the American SOL
der isn't busy fighting he is putting
energy mad pep" into his recreation
pursuits.
HE is a hard fighter In battle and
q strenuous contestant in games. He
Is hard to beat in either" says Evers.
APPLY illustrating this is the story
told of a party of 'Yanks.' who. re-
lieved from the fighting lines, were
on route to q village where they could
rest a few days. While waiting for
motor trucks, they started a game of
baseball, getting the equipment from
q convenient Knights of Columbus
building. In a few minutes 5000
young Americans were excited soecta-
tors. With them the recent battle with
the Hun was history. They had Hex
ed him and that was enough.
This Is what helps to maintain
morale, and the need for baseball and
other forms OF recreation IS clearly
recognized by the X. of C. IN their war
relief activities.
