SPOTS. The field was smaller than it had
been the previous day, but in the teeth of
a biting wind it was impossible to MAIN
tain form at the highest pitch of excel
lence, and so these two were the only
ones TO equal or better the ninety mark.
The handicap at one hundred birds was
won by \. Rowland in the regular and
by r. L. Cole in the special shoot. w. B.
ogden, who missed tying with Mr.. SPOTS
by only one point for second place in the
century" won the leg on the Buer-
meyer trophy. while legs on the Tourna-
ment, Byronell, Presidents and Lyon cups
were awarded to all those scoring twenty
five in the various events.
AS this was the last shoot OF the month,
the January schedule was cleaned up and
trophies awarded TO those who had ac-
cumulated the highest number of points.
II. l.. Kennedy had three legs on the
Tourney prize, and he was the only one OF
those successful who did not have to

When a man Is training for any athet' C
event the one thing that he must watch
almost. more than anything else Is his
stomach. From time to time you hear
tales OF the heavyweights who can eat
almost whole roast OK. That may sound
good to some who wish they could eat
just a little bit of meat, but let me tell
you that the man who fills up his stom-
ach, If he is boxer is never going to fiji
up his pocketbook. Spare eating is a thing
that is the best any one can do. The man
who fills his paunch as regularly as he
can will never amount to anything in an
athletic sport, and I don't think he will
make much of himself in the world Of
business.

BASKETBALL LEAD
Van Slyck Forced to Relinquish Place
to Porter, of Cornell-Eli.
Team Unbeaten.

After holding the lead for three weeks.
Deforest Van Slyck. Of Yale. has been
forced to step down as individual pace
maker in the Intercollegiate Basketball
League. While his closest rival, Porter,
of Cornell. was accounting for twenty-one
points in the Dartmouth game, Van Slyck
was adding only eight points to his total.
This placed Porter in front with fifty
one points, ten points ahead of the Yale
man. The latter. however, has played
in one game less than Porter and is
really closer to the top than the figures
indicate.
Yale leads the standing with three vic
tories and no defeats, the only unbeaten
team of those that have played. The
peculiar feature OF the schedule is that
pennsylvania has not yet played league
game. while the others have participa-
