Fordhan Class
Meet Deferred

The interclass track meet at Ford
ham University, which was tentatively
cot down for yesterday afternoon, has
been indefinitely postponed. The date
would have conficted with the Rut-
gers-Fordhar. baseball game and the
City Coliege-Fordnam dual tennis
match.
As the meet is arranged to bring out
larger number of track candidates by
promoting interclass rivalry and COM
petition, and as many of the students
we're engaged in the other sports, it
was considered best to postpone the
meet until some future date, when all
ihs classes would be able to have their
fuil quota of athletic stars on the job.
The only dual meet on the Maroon
schedule is booked for next Saturday,
when Fordham meets City College in
the Lewisohn stadium.
The Fordham track athletes have
been fairly successful this season in
M sne few events that they have entered.
The relay team ran a sterling race last
Saturday in the Pennsylvania relay
carnival.
Coach Bernie Wefers has small
squad for the field events, although he
we'll supplied in the sprints and
distances. The Bronx colegians, how
ever, are expected to give a good ac-
count of themselves when they face
the Lavender representatives next Sat-
arday.

Army then and there tucked the game
away.
The collegians took the lead in their
half of the third eastman hit safely.
Foster fought B. McCarthy's grasser
long enough to give that runner a
life. They both moved up when Mum

runners, with ringing triple to

Coach Hans Lobert then derricked
Munford and Wedemeyer, his sue

who held the collegians safely to the
end. Successive singles by Mumford

Tate and Oliphant netted the Army
three runs in their half of the third

Plum Wins Amateur Title :.
At Traps; Sets , Records
Makes Run Of l54 and
Breaks 1877 in 200
Chances
By ]. S. Mitchell

The thirteenth annual amateur trap
shooting championship of the United
states took place yesterday at Travers
Island, under the auspices of the New
YORK Athletic Club, and, without q dis
senting voice, it was voted to be the
best ever in the history of the meet.
A fine string of i27 of the leading
amateurs of this country faced the
traps, IN weather almost perfect for
clay bird shooting. The light was just
rlght, as the atmosphere was clear and
tree from fare, and there was dead
calm, so that the bluerocks few all day
long without whirl or a drive.
The winner of the diamond medal,
emblematic of the premier honors, hap
pened unexpectedly to be Frederick
Plum, modest, stockily built young
man from Atlantic City, N. j., who not
only captured the championship, but
set new title record and the continu-
Gus run record, and was the best man
for the first hundred birds.
Flum earned the plum of the meet
with grand total of 1877 out of 200,
ms strings IN order being "a, 25, 25,
25, 25, 25, "a, "a. For the high run
he succeeded in making 154 without
miss. This is away ahead of any
thing ever achieved in the event, the
old mark being 107 by John Hendricks
son, Of the New York A. c., two years
ago.
The previous championship record.
by Ralph L. Spots, was 1876, made two
years ago. On Friday, Jimmy Clark,
OF the Boston A. A., made 1913, but
when it came to the real test James
was away down on the score board yes-
terday and could not account for his
| slump.
Plum Wins Cup in First
In the first 100 Plum broke 80, win
nlng the Maplewood Cup. Plum is
druggist by profession. and IN the
! boardwalk and at all the shoots and
other festivities on the Jersey coast
