SPOTS Starts
The New Year
Right With Gun
Former Champion Proves
High Scratch Man at
the N. Y. A. c. Traps

Beginning with the first regular
shoot of the year held over their Trav-
ers Island traps yesterday, the gun
ners of the New York Athletic Club
made decided change in the condi-
lions that govern their weekly events.
For years it has been the rule that
straight score took preference over a
full score of rs targets. In other words,
a Nimrod who broke rs out of posi-
Bile rs targets won the prize FUN an
other gunner who migh" rave the full
total of rs targets nth the aid of his
handicap
The innovation was responsible for
another change in the weekly shoots.
For the last year the club has not been
offering either high scratch or a high
handicap prize. These trophies have
been returned to the programme, and
yesterday the high scratch gunner was
r. l.. SPOTS, the former national cham
pion, with a card of 81 out of posi-
BILE 100 targets. The high handicap
gunner was G.. l.. McCutcheon, who won
out on a shoot-of.
The doing away with the preference
gained by straight runs cut very little
ice yesterday. The conditions were so
difficult that not single Nimrod ran
straight, throughout the shoot Not
only was it bitterly cold on the firing
line, but high wind whrled the blue
rocks all over the waters of the Sound,
making it almost impossible for the
gunners to hit the tiny targets. Legs,
therefore, were taken by the Nimrods
who ha n tho fu11 total

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. 4.-Yale
athletic officials have laid down one
radical rule in the new program of

that prevailed last season. Guy Nick

pected to return next spring, ana
whether Yale and Harvard will revive
the New London regatta or will row
either at New Haven or Cambridge is
still uncertain.
1t is likely that, as Harvard came to
Derby for races on the Housatonic River
course last year, Yale will 60 to the
Charles next June.
Practically the entire last years
varsity crew, excepting Captain Rufus
Hyatt, will be in the she'll, including
Captain Winter Mead, Vail, McHenry,
Munson, Borders and Patterson.
Coach Abbott's hobby has been to pro-
mote rowing for the benefit of large
squads and he believes that several
hundred of the undergraduates can be
registered this spring, with the assuf
ance Of a programme of interclass and
inter dormltory races.
The graduates favor securing Bill
