Martin McVoy
Has Aiming Eye
At Best Focus

Out Of troop Of thirty-seven trap
experts at Travers Island yesterday
Martin McVoy proved to have his aim
ing eye in the best focus as he went
away with the high scratch gun honors
in the big event and the credit Of leg
in the Haslin cup contest. From actual
scratch he broke 90 clays. He also
hung up perfect tally Of 100 in the
handicap department, but as he was the
top scratch gun he could not figure
in the handicap.
The light was good. but there was a
cold cross wind which every now and
then drove the clays away whirling.
Although McVoy did account for the
nigh gun with creditable scoring he
dld not have matters his own way, for
TOUR others were only single break
behind
DR.. LIE Roy Culver, the present New
York "A. c. Champion broke 81 actually
and the other trio to finish level with
him were c. W. Billings, w. B. Ogden
and Frank B. STEPHENSON.
The prize for the high handicap gun
was secured by Joseph P. Donovan
alter a shoot-off with eleven others.
Those who made the even century With
Donovan were DR.. Culver. C. II. Law
renee, W. B. Ogden, J. l. Brandenberg
a. II. Morse, W. S. Silkworth. c. u
Billings, DR.. r. De Wolfe and ". c.
bowers. Donovan, who is in first class
form just now, was we'll up for the
handicap gun as he shattered an actual
string Of 80 out of the hundred.

City College Five
Faces Hard Tests

The Amherst encounter next Satur-
day marks the close of the first half of
the City College basketball season. The
cratic work Of the local five in the
early part of the year resulted in the
loss of the Princeton and New York
University tits, but the quintet recov.
cred its true form against Union. The
shifting back Of Tichinsky, who had
been tried at guard, to forward, was in
strumental in the comeback.
The New York aggregation led of
with an easy victory over St. Johns,
fatered through the next two games,
which went to Princeton by 9 points
and New York University by the same
margin, and scored heavily against
Union and Dartmouth. Annapolis was
defeated on the middies' court, 20 to Is.
The local coordination has the heavier
part Of its schedule in the latter hall
Of the season. The powerful University
Of Pennsylvania aggregation is due IN
the City College of New York gym
February 16. This will probably be Ike
toughest struggle Of the year for the
City College team, which vanquished
Pennsylvania last year by single
point in one of the fastest games ever
played on the home court Rochester,
Brooklyn Polytechnic, St. Lawrence,
Rensselaer, and Colgate make up the
rest of the home schedule.

Skating and H0ckeyNews

Hobey Baker, on the football field.
was about as fast on his feet as any
man who ever wore the cleated shoe. He
could streak through broken field
like scared rabbit, and Yale football
teams never felt safe as long as Hobey
was at large.
Later, when Baker devoted his rare
talents to hockey, he was even more
spectacular in his lightning dashes up
and down the rink. He was everywhere
recognized as the fastest man who ever
played rover on American hockey teams.
II not the fastest in the world.
Then, when the war came and Amer
lea cast her lot with the Allies, Hobey
enlisted in the aviation service. 1t
seemed the natural thing for this speed
king to do, to take to the air, where
swiftness Of flight is reckoned as one
OF the greatest assets a flying man can
possess.
Several months passed without any
word from Hobey. but yesterday the
is putting on the finishing touches to
his aerial education, that the great
Hobev of football and hockey fame is
astounding his fellow students by his
marvellous tricks with the battle
planes.
On one occasion Baker thrilled those
on the ground by making an ascension
almost perpendcularly, the nose of his
machine pointing upward like giant
rocket. 1t is said of Hobey. that his
ieats are so striking and daring when
ne is racing through the clouds that
every aviator in the American, British
and French schools can pick him out
from among hundred other f}iers.
When Baker begins his actual work
over the German lines and goes up to
meet the Kaiser's greatest air war
riors we probably will hear thrilling
tales of the unassuming young man
who used to draw the crowds to the
