Ralph L. SPOTS, the national amateur

he was fast regaining his top form.

took part in this race. which was

They shot off the same number of clays,
and SPOTS broke "straight" again,
Bennett failing to keep the pace by
just one bird. Additional honors came

alone saved them from the ignominy
of shut-out. The knights gave every
evidence of lack of training and con-

derers showed plenty of spirit and dash
until the score became so one-sided
that they began to take matters in an
easier fashion.
The superb laying of Mickey Roach,
the New Workers. rover, was the fea-
ture of the contest. Mickey just
ploughed through his opponents as
though they were made of paper, pill
ing up four goals in the first half and
two in the second. Smith, the centre,

McNeal Beats Burns
At Indoor Tennis

Harry McNeal, professional at the
Heights Casino, defeated Jimmy Burns,
the Ardsley Club pro. yesterday after
noon in the first indoor lawn tennis
matches held this winter on the
Heights Casino courts. McNeal won by
score of 3--6. 60, GO. Cd. In a
doubles match Burns and II. l. Foster
defeated McNeal and Harry Parker by
a score Of 1913. 3-6, Go.
1t was McNeal's wonderful skill with
the half-volley shot that caused Burns's
defeat In the opening set the Casino
pro did not have these shots going
under full control. and Burns, reaching
the net. cut off his opponents returns
on the full volley.
In the last three sets, however. Nc
Neal took the ball on the half-volley
from every position in the court, with
the result that Burns was rarely able
to advance with any success toward
the net position, the ball coming back
to him with such speed that he was
constantly being caught out Of position.

rinceton Will
Restore Varsity
Athletic Teams

PRINCETON, N. j., Jan. 12.-To con
t'nue Intercollegiate athletics, but
carry them on with less extensive
schedules and reduced expenses, as a
means of military training was the
policy outlined last night for the
Princeton University Athletic Associa-
ton at postponed meeting OF the
Board OF Athletic Control The follow
ing resolution was adopted by the board
as basis Of the Tigers athletic plans
this spring:
of the development of athletic sports
as means of military training. and we
offer the facilities OF the association 70
the use of the student battalion for
that purpose; and in the second place,
we approve the idea of having inter
collegiate athletic competition on a
simple and inexpensive plan which
shall not interfere with the military
training, but which shall maintain the
athletic traditions Of Princeton Uni
versity.'
AS a result of this meeting, which
was attended by Chairman Dean, How
Wright, j. II. Barrel, 10, and r. F.
Makepiece, 10, it is thought likely that
Princeton will be represented bv some
sort OF teams, either formal varsity or
informal, in both track and baseball
this spring.
The chief objection to regular var
sity teams is that the time needed for
practice will tend to decrease the
amount Of interest taken by the stu
dents in the courses offered in military
drill, ordnance, navigation and so on
AS it is the one thing which the board
OF control is striving to avoid this
year, 1t IS considered certain that in
the event of the formation Of varsity
track and baseball squads, the sched-
ules OF the teams will be considerably
reduced and the time allotted to prac-
tlce materially decreased.
