Trapshooters May
Form New Association

combination Of several of the trap
shooting organizations is under way
and il appears probable that ma
tlonal association will soon exist for
the benefit Of the sport and amateur
and professional shooters. The old
Interstate Trapshooting Association,
through its development department.
IS being reorganized along new and
broader lines. and the American ANA
teur Traps hooters Association is being
combined with it.
The plans for the new association
are in many ways similar to the A. A.
i. and the United States Golf Associa-
ton. They provide for the member
ship Of all amateur shooters. who
will control the sport through rep-
resentatives from the state associa-
tons. In addition to these member
ships. provision is made for sup
PORTING memberships by all interested
organizations.
1t IS proposed that the new asso-
cation shall compile the averages of
al shooters and arrange for their
handicapping and classification. II
will also arrange for and provide tro-
phies, award medals. determine rules
and regulations for the sport and for
the determination of state and ma
tional champions.

Anderson and Cameron De-
feated on Links at
St. Albans

The four-bal professional match at
ST. Adams Golf Club yesterday after
noon, in which the clubs professional,
Jack Clark, and George Fotheringham,
the South African open champion, beat
Carl Anderson, Branksville, and Ferg-
uson Cameron, North Fork County
Club, by up and 2 to play was rather
ragged for golfers of such ability.
The best ball of the first nine holes,
which were the second nine of the
course, was Al, and they broke even,
but on the second nine, which were
the first nine, Clark end Fothering-
ham had things pretty much their own
way Fotheringham started off by win
ming the first hole, of 800 yards, in
the par of 4, each of the others re-
curing one more The second hole, of
, $50 yards, which is no easy hole, al
though the par is 8, was won by Foth-
eringham in s. 1t is only a midiron
shot from the tee, but while Fother-
ingham landed on the green, Carl An
a deaf tree in the woods-s 1t took him
5 for the hole.
The third hole, of 366 yards, dog
leg hole, was won by Clark and Foth-
eringham in par. This was the first
three holes in succession, and it looked
bad for Anderson and Cameron, as
there were only six more holes to play.
The fourth hole was halved in par
and the fifth in one over par. Anderson
had a chance to do something on the
sixth hole, as he was only five feet
from the cup on his second shot, but
missed his putt for 8, and the hole
was halved by all hands in the par of
A. The match ended on the seventh
hole of 235 yards, when Fotheringham
drove onto the green and holed a twelve
foot putt for 2. This gave them the
match by up and 2 to play. The two
bye holes were then played for the gal
lery Anderson won the eighth hole Of
4SO yards in 4, one stroke under par,
and all hands halved the ninth hole in

Rutgers Finds
Easy Victim
In Penn State
Sanford'sN Big Scarlet Team
Outclasses Eleven Coached
by Hugo Bezdek

STATE COLLEGE. Penn. Nov. g.
fenn States eleven was overwhelmed
here to-day by the powerful Rutgers
football machine. The score was 26
TO 3. Despite a plucky defence, State
was powerless to withstand the heavy
line crashing of Sanfore's aA4ks.
Coach Bezdecks offence was futile
thing. The Scarlet men charged back
INTO States plays and regularly
o0wned the runners before they got
under way. The Centre County boys
were completely stopped, and aside
from one first down gained by rushing.
bezdek's backs gained nothing.
When Henry kicked his placement
goal early in the first period States
,o4iowlhg had visions of great day.
pu' the tlde was soon turned after
hutgers put the ball in play. Gardner
ana Nelly hit the centre for smashing
gains. huge holes were opened be-
tween Mackenzie and Logue, through
wnlch four successive first downs were
netted. When Rutgers had pushed
STATE back to her 5-yard line State
held for only one line play. Gardner
went over for the Scarlet's first touch
down He missed an easy goal.
FROM that time on the Rutgers at
tack could not be stopped Kelly and
Gardner each Tailed in the second
period and Summerhill hit right tackle
for the final score in the last period.
Having amassed a comfortable lead
Rutgers let down in the second half
ana States defense stiffened enough to
nold the Raritan boys to three first
downs. The game was merked by an
absence OF open play. Both elevens
relied mainly on mass formations.
Robson was not the terror State
looked for. He was closely covered
and excent for two gains of twenty
yards each he did not figure TO any
extent IN the Rutgers play William
son, Mackenzie and Ryan were States
best performers. Only one penalty was
imposed, twenty yard loss for Rut-
gers. for illegal use of hands.

Gen. Leonard Wood Started
Football at Georgia Tech

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov e.-Georgia
Tech. which has risen to football great
ness during the past three years, knew
gridiron glory in another era. And
that was in the days when Leonard
Wood, now a general in the United
States army, fought under it's standard
a quarter of century ago.
Tech men to-day, although proud Of
the achievements of Strupper, Guyon,
Carpenter, Harlan, Hill, Fincher and
the other satellites of this generation,
never cease to recount the tales Of
General Woods prowess back in that
period when football was new in the
Southland.
The Georgia School of Technology
was founded in 1890, and two years
later it recruited its first eleven. 1t
was largely due to Woods efforts that
football then little played in the
South, was introduced in Tech. Wood
