BECK BACK ON TRACK TE SEON FIVE AND F0RS TEAM PLAY TOG
|"SPRING FEVER" CURED ONLY BY
|GUNNING, SAYS TOM MARSHALL

at traps or shooting pard afield. The
shooting microbe is no respector of
sex. The feminine convert, says
trapshooting is the King of Sports y
that the handling of fire arms, elm
mates fear, imbues confidence, put
ting to flight the burglar nightmare.
When a Boy Scout is stung, he wants
a gun, the staff then looks to him
like the center pole of the big round
top, at circus. Have you spring
fever?
Question: Have heard there was
to be Victory Shoot Day." what
does it mean and when will 1t be
held? Please give me an idea of
what is to be pulled off and how 1t is
to be done.
WALTER KLINGMAN.
st. Joseph, Mo.
The "Victory Shoot Day" will be
staged on July 4, 1919. Every gun
club in America is expected to hold
a tournament of some kind to which
all soldiers and sailors will be in
vited. A program will be suggested
by Stony McLinn, the secretary OF
American Trapshooters' Association,
later, which will cover all the salient
points. This will be forwarded to
the clubs. When plans are perfected
an article will be found in this pa
per giving information of the Vic
tory Shoot Day"
Question: What are the prevail
ing symptoms for trapshooting this
year? Do you think the price of
ammunition will prevent many from
participating in the shoots? Is there
any effort being made to promote
the sport, if so what are the pro-
posed plans? ID. L. X,
Anderson, Ind.
Answer: The indications are that
this will be the banner year for
trapshooting, many new clubs are
being organized and old ones are
springing up in many places. The
determination to send a trapshoot-
ing team of ten men, with all eX-
penses paid, to participate in the
next Olympic games, has stimulated
an interest and created much talk
amcng the followers of the sport
The price of ammunition has not
raised disproportionately with other
commodities. When it is considered
, that labor represents eighty per
cent. of the cost of shells and labor
in this line is classed as skilled, the
price is comparatively low. No, the
shell cost will not prevent the red
blooded sportsmen from participat-
ing in the tournaments. Canadians
will contest in the G. a. II. this year.

CarlBeck, Tech sBestAthlete
Will Help Track Team Win

Under the direction of Professor
Harry DeWire, of the Technical High
School faculty, the Tech track team
is rapidly rounding into form for
the coming season, and indications
point to another State champion
ship. Interesting information to
Tech track enthusiasts is the fact
that Carl Beck, Techs best athlete,
is again eligible to play on the Ma
room athletic teams. For six weeks
Beck has been barred from partici-
patton in athletics because of poor
standing. A closer application to
books has given the star a good
standing, as indicated by his last
report handed out this week, and
the track captain will again be win
ming track meets this spring.
The Tech track captain is a veri-
table team in himself. He can top
the hurdles, broad jump, do the 44O
and is crack at any of the weight
events. Single handed he scored IL
points at Philadelphia last spring at
the Penn interscholastics, landing
second place for Tech, although he
was the only Tech athlete entered.
Daily, fifty track candidates are
trying out over on the island, and
next week will see the matter
brought to head as to who will
participate in the opening meet
against Mercersburg Academy at
that place. Mercersburg has one
of the strongest prep school teams
in the country, and Tech will not
have harder opposition than in the
Mercersburg lads. The dual meet
will take place at Mercersburg one,
week from to-day.
Among the most prominent ath-
letes who are striving for positions
are Captain Beck, Foland. r. Heagy,
Hefkin. Hoffsommer, Shader, Pleam,
G. Germer, Garrett, Allen, Shue,
Hartman. Huber, strawhecker, Eek
