Rutgers May Loose Stars
OF Football Team Shortly

Things are looking pretty blue for
n future prospects OF Rutgers foot
bail team. There is no telling how
Ions Foster Sanford will be able To
hold his wonderful collection of foot
pal stars together. The laws of war
demand hat several OF the Scarlet's
best players leave for an officers
training camp within the next few
weeks. Who the lucky ones viii be
has not yet been determined but
there Is no doubt that the selection
Of the army officers will fall upon the
best men in the football squad, for
they are the ones that invariably
make the best officers material.
There Is also some talk at New
Brunswick over the possible transfer
OF the five football veterans who came
back from the naval reserve force
because they we're under the g
limit. Under the new draft reEula-
lions these men are all subject to the
draft now. and it is expected that
they will be sent to Pelham Bay or
one of the larger training camps. II
this is actually done 1t will mean that
Rutgers will have to build an entirely
new team.
RutEers schedule calls for a game
with Lehigh at New Brunswick this
Saturday and this may be the last
game In which all OF ''Sandy's Pets
will appear together. The above loss
will no doubt lessen Rutgers chances
for a victory against the strong

Know Your Gun
And 1t is so with the shotgun Of
the duck shooter or the sportsman
who hunts the elusive and fast flying
quail and other game birds. Why not
pattern" your shotgun and find
which loads give the greatest number
of pellets in n thirty-inch circle at
40, 60 or so yards? The regrets for
that pair OF mallsrds just out of
range could be saved with n hard
hitting, ~close-shooting load.
Few sportsmen know accurately
the proper distance to lead certain
kinds of ducks or game birds. Many
volumes have been written on this
subject by sportsmen who have made
careful study of the subject. that
might be read and studied with profit
by those who would trust to luck to
bring down the game.
The average sportsman Is only too
willing 10 trust to luck and take a
chance which "a only result in a
larger percentage of misses than
kills"
And so one might go on forever
telling of the lost opportunities in the
same field because sportsmen do not
know their gun.
Should a brother sportsman ask
you some day what size groups your
| rife will make at 100 or 200 yards,
or how many pellets your shotgun
will throw into a thirty-inch circle at
40 yards, you will realize for the first
time. should you be unable to tell

About That Hunting Trip
Out Nd Out What Your Gun
Or Rye Will Do

Many sportsmen are prone to over
look N very important detail of
their otherwise carefully prepared
plans for the annual hunting trip
that of knowing their gun.
How often do We hear the story of
the big moose with the record head
that continued its headlong rush
through the u~nderbrush because the
hunter had shot too high or too low.
That is. he had aimed well enough
but his 1000 or so feet per second
missile had passed harmiessly by its
intended victim. Thus a $1,000 trip
had come to naught and a prize head
remained at large.
lis said that most big game is shot
within a distance Of 200 yards. Mod
ern big game rifles with their fiat T
iectories and repeating mechanisms
have placed every advantage in favor
of the man behind the gun. Yet the
fact remains hat the percentage Of
misses in the game field remains ap-
pallingly large.
