Straight Score
Gives Corbett
Shoot Trophy
Donovan and Ogden Win
Legs on Haslin Trophy
at Iravers Island

Weekend trap shooting for January
came to an end at the Travers Island
traps of the New York Athletic Club
yesterday. Not only was it the ending of
the regular fixtures for the month, but
the accumulation cup, three months
trophy. also was won. Under the cir
cumstances, the day was an exception
ally important one for the Winged Foot
nimrods, and an excellent field was on
the firing line throughout.
George ]. Corbett, by running straight
in the Travcrs Island cup event, took
the prize with two legs. In the shoot
for the Haslin cup w. B. Ogden ran
straight, as did also ]. p. Donovan,
Tho perfect score gave the former gun
ner four legs on the prize, more than
enough to annex the trophy.
]. P. Donovan broke into the lime
lgiht in the shoot for the club cup. He
captured leg yesterday with full
card of 25 targets. 1t was his second
win in January, one more than any
other nimrod. He therefore took home
the prize. After shoot-off ]. H. Van
derveer won his third leg on the ac
emulation cup, one more than any
other gunner.
The conditions were considerably
easier than they have been for several
weeks, and as a result all the scores
were high. j. P. Donovan was the high
scratch gunner with the excellent total
Of 95 out of a possible 100 targets. N.
Webb, jr:, took the high handicap prize
after a shoot-off.
At the request of the gunners the
shooting committee announced spe
cial shoot for Monday afternoon. More
than twenty-five stated yesterday that
they would be on the firing line to-
morrow. If the shoot is success the
club probably will give other events on
coalless Mondays.
The scores made yesterday are as

1t is policy, perhaps, to say that
Newport defeated Camp Upton, but if
the facts are boiled right down it will
be found that Tom Howard, jr., and his
brother Jack, sons of the famous old
star. did fully seven-ninths of the play

between them these two lads, both
still in their teens, scored seven OF the
nine goals credited to their team. Tom

execution, while Jack hung out at CEN

to do in trying to cover up Miss Wag-
ner's lapses, and his exertions in the
third and fourth sessions told their
story in the final set, when he was no
longer abe to stem the strong attack OF
the opposing pair Harold Taylor, the
runner-up for the national junior i'll
door title, acted as umpire OF the match.
Alexander began the service, followed
IN order by McNeal, Miss Bjurstedt and
MISS Wagner. and it so happened that
the intemationalist led off at the start
OF every set of the match The first
two sets found Miss Bjurstedt and
Alexander going at great speed.
Inc national woman champion amazed q
the gallery by her volleying skill and
proved that in this department she is
distinctly better than at any time in
her career. She and McNeal engaged
in dozen duels from close to the net,
with honors fairly even.
Starting with the third set, McNeal
realized that he would have to speed
up if the match was not to be one
sided, and he went into the rallies with
tremendous speed. In his anxiety to do
more than his share, he was at times
guilty, of taking shots that should have
been left to his partner, but this. of
course, was unavoidable. In spite of
this, however, and aided by Miss Wag
ner's splendid playing at this period,
McNeal was instrumental in winning
these sets at Is, 7-5.
The last session found Miss Biurstedt
and Alexander going more smoothly
than ever and both of them brought ap-
plause from the spectators by the bril-
lance of their work at the net. The
iInal point in the match was earned by
the maid from Norway. as the climax
OF desperate rally, when she caught
one OF McNeals drives shoulder high

Invitations Out
For Penn Relays

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. o6.-The man.
agement of the Pennsylvania Relay
Carnival has just sent out the invita-
tlon letter TO the various colleges of
the country for the twenty-fourth an
nual meet, to e held o ..pril 2S and
-. Quito few changes have been
made in the various classes necessitated
by the changing conditions in track
athletics at the various institutions.
AS matter Of courtesy the invitation
IS sent, as usual, to oxford and Cam
bridge, in England, though it is not
expected that they will be represented
here until after the war
Contrary to the general opinion. re-
ports from all over the United States
indicate that greater interest is being
taken in track and field sport than
ever before. the war has called asten-
tlon to the benefits of athletics and
there is great enthusiasm throughout
the entire student body IN all kinds of
intercollegiate sport. The decision of
Princeton, closely followed by Yale. to
resume intercollegiate competition all
along the line will have further in
vigorating effect.
No one expects the teams this year
to reach the extremely high standard
set at the relay carnival in former
years. Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Cor
nell. Chicago, Columbia, Dartmouth
and several other important universi-
ties have sent word that they expect
to be here with their teams for the
championships and special events.
Coach Jones, OF Wisconsin. has been
heard from. He states that he is going
to bend every energy to getting out
relay teams. and i he can find material
for fairly fast quartets he will bring
them East.
Coach Robertson, of Pennsylvania,
has the hardest task on his hands OF
any Of the coaches. It has been Penn's
custom to be represented in all the
championship relays, no matter how
poor the team. In other years Penn
could always get some kind of team,
but this season it will be very difficult
to find any kind of material for the
entire six championships on the pro-
gramme.

Plan Association

The chief objects in view are to bring

tests which will be emblematic Of
supremacy. instead Of allowing half a
dozen or more scholastic meets to be
given title rank, as has been the prac-
