the National Rifle Matches, are open
to all members of clubs affiliated
with the \. r. A.
The y. r. A, working with the
members of the National Board for
the Promotion of Small Arms Prac-
tice, have made it possible for each
state to send teams to participate
in the National Rifle Matches and to
attend a school of small arms in
struction that is held under the ex-
pert supervision of the best authori-
ties on small arms work in either
the service or civil life.
The National Rirle Association has
its headquarters in Washington, d.

Associations sponsors are men who
are officers of the Army, Navy or
Marine Corps and are located in

come more and more to be, as be-
fore stated, somewhat or a semi
military organization.

(Iowa) has played four years of
college football and never missed
a minute out of the play of any

leading field meet in which Cornell

cord of which he is proud is that in
all his participation in college sports
no opponent has ever accused him of
rough play or anything but absolute
craftsmanship.
Sanderso1 came to college from
little town of so population and
before arriving at Cornell had never
played in a football game of any
kind. In addition to his athletic
prowess, Sandy" is president of
the college student council and

Snappy Bouts Feature
Promoter Whites Show

York, Dec. 1S.-Four snappy bouts
fairly bristling with pep and action
treated local fight fans to the un-
usual, at Promoter Harry Whites
boxing show. A lone setto ended
with one of the principals occupy
ing a downy bed in dreamland.
In the windup Billy Angelo. clever
light-weight of this city, fought Ed
die Moy, of Allentown, to draw
in a six-round bout. Angelo had
AL Lipp's fighter guessing in the
first trio of rounds, holding de-
cided shade over the visitor. How
ever, Moy's pugilistic ability began
to appear in the fourth session when
he dropped his defensive methods
and became more aggressive, yet
not so much as the York fighter.
During the last two rounds, both
men mixed things up and gave each
other a sound drubbing.
In the semi-windup, Dick Got
walt. York was outpointed by
Tommy Murray, of Philadelphia. in
a fast six-round fight. The Phila-
delphian was substituted at the last
minute for Jimmy Beckett, and de-
lighted the large crowd with his
fighting powers.
Joe Christy, of Pittsburgh, was
knocked out early in the second
period of a scheduled siX-round
bout by Jack Perry. of Philadelphia.
Joe Green. York, threw up the
sponge in the third round of the
opening after taking a severe drub-
bing from Henry Coen. Lancaster.
1t was announced that Johnny
Gill. York's popular middleweight
boxer, who is on the trail of Mike
O'powd, holder of the middleweight
crown, will meet Willie Laughlin,
of South Bethlehem, at Harry

very conditions which made it neces-
sary for him to leave the land Of
Bolshevism.
Mr.. Burnett's bill to suspend i'm
migration during the period of the
demobilization and reabsorption of
our armies and munition workers
certainly looks like a mild enough
measure, but it is another step in
the right direction. 1t is not op-
posed to-day by any one who has
not something to gain from cheap
labor and hard conditions for the
workingman. Any member of the
SO called upper classes, who never
has to compete with immigrant la
bor, gains financially every time
cheaper laborer lands on our
shores. Some Of them, however, are
able to rise above such considera-
tons and to favor restrictions, even
though it will be against their own
financial interests.
