RUTGERS FOOTBALL TEAM
IS NOW HARD At WORK

NEW BRUNSWICK Sept. Is
Since Monday the Rutgers football
candidates, who now number forty
hve. have been put through daily
scrimmage at the close OF every af-
ternoon's practice. While the
coaches are trying out different
combinations for the line and back
field no attempt has yet been made
to pick any team. Next week II is
expected that the coaches will start
to form the eleven which will rep
resent Rutgers in the opening game
to be played here on September rs
with Ursinus.
The coaching staff has been sup
plemented by the appearance Of
Bob Nash, a former star tackle, who
is on his annual visit of two weeks
to help get the new men in shape.
1t Is now possible for Field Coach
Kendall to divide his linemen into
two groups for more individual in
struction.
Coach G. Foster Sanford made his
first appearance on the field last
Friday afternoon and showed that
he still had the old time pep and en-
thusiasm in his coaching that has
enabled him to turn out the past
teams at Rutgers. The death of his
mother on Monday morning has
kept him away since then.
The squad has been augmented by
the appearance of Summerill. John
Scudder and Kull. summerill vas

halfback who did not play last year
due to an operation. Scudder is
looked upon to be m of the strong
points in the line.
Troup, a tackle from last season,
has declared that he will not be a
candidate this year. although there
is an attempt to persuade him to
take up the game. Last season he
did not come up to his previous per-
formances in the high jump and
placed the blame for 1t on his foot

So There Y,Arei

That a winning ball club will pack
them in the stands Is no better Illus
tration than the case OF the Seattle
team in the Coast League.
Clyde Ware took hold of the ST.
washes this spring. He spent a lot
of kale. He bought players right
and left. He paid his henchmen
higher salaries than Coast League
players v e dreamed Of knocking
down.
1t took time for Wares efforts to
show. During the early part of the
schedule the team was a trailer. Sc
attic fans were ready to accept the
ignominy Of having a tail-end team.
Their opinion of Wares judgment
in running a ball club was that he
was a failure. The ball park was
an empty and dreary place.
All at once the Seattle team got
its cogs clicking together. They won
a few games. The crowds began
coming back. That encouraged
Ware and his athletes. The Siwash-
es are playing cleanup ball now.
If the season wasn't nearly over
they'd most likely drive a nail in the
little old cheese-cloth.
There's no fun at all ut a ball
game without the crowds. Packed
stands make a ball club travel and
a travelling club will pack the
stands.
So there y'are.

recognizing the Importance of con-
~servation in maintaining their bust
ness, and are now siding with state
officials in a campaign against illegal
lobster sales which the Fish and
Game Commission has been conduct
ing.
With the INCREASED catches and
profits, new crews were attracted to
the lobster-fshing industry. Some of
them, it has been discovered, were
not averse to proverbially killing the
goose that laid the golden eggs and
they began to develop a forbidden
trade in understood or baby Holsters.
The law requires that baby holsters,
when caught in the lobster pots, be
returned at once to the ocean. and a
penalty is attached for each baby
lobster offered for sale or held in
possession. Wardens have made sev-
eral arrests and big fines have been
collected, in two cases, dealers
caught with fifteen Holsters in their
possession, being fined $500 each.

Can you feature Bagby hurting

TIE cricket idea. you know. is to
roll the ball about thigh-high to the
batsman, and put enough stuff on II
so he can't hit IL. but SO IL will

The bowler uses a round arm

knows few tricks, as we over here
know tricks.
Arm Babe Ruth with the broad

Wind Plays IMPORTANT Part
In Outdoor Target Shooting

That there is considerable nor
to accurate rife shooting than the
mere aiming Of the piece and the
pulling OF the trigger was admirably
demonstrated at the Navy Rife
Range at Caldwell recently By Cap
tain w. II. Richard one of the ex-
pert rife shots OF the Winchester
'peattpg Arms Company.
Captain Richard, who is one Of
the best shots in the world, and who
is the holder Of countless trophies
won at rife shooting. was trying his
skill on the 1000 yard range. The
day was perfect, with a gentle breeze
blowing laterally across the range; a
breeze that would have been scarce
.ly noticed by the average individual.
Its force and direction was sufh-
.cient however, to cause Captain
Richard TO heed it, for before fring
he carefully set the rear sight of his
rife at what is known as one point
left windage. That is to say. his
rear sight was so set that both the
front and e sights would proper
.ly bear upon the bulls-eye when
aimed, but the muzzle of the rife
would point not at the bulls-eye. but
at a point forty inches to the left of,
and horizontal with it. The Captain
fired, and the bullet, which would
have struck quite or the target had
allowance been made for the
slight breeze, pierced the bulls-eye
near its center.
Good shot, Captain" said one of
the onlookers, who happened him
self to be a very good shot. You got
your allowance for windage right
the first time. No need for further
adjustment. I wish I could get IL
right the first time like that. / in
variably have to set my sight two or
three times before 1 am right"
Well" drawled Richard, you are
not right this time either. Tom. I've
got to make a change right now"
why what for?" asked Tom. Man
alive, can't you see that the wind has
veered from the west to the east?'
replied the Captain grinning broadly
at his friend as he proceeded to re-
adjust his rear sight.
Richard Knew.
Hey" was Toms SURPRISED re-
Spouse. Then after gazing around a
bit: "Y-e-e-s. 1 guess It has. But
It isn't blowing strongly enough to
make very much difference"
Think not?" asked the Captain.
mo. it isn't" answered Tom, and
he fell to watching closely Richards
manipulation of that rea sight.
For the love of Mike, Cap" he
suddenly exclaimed, What are you
thinking of? You've moved that
over to a point right, that's two
whole points in the opposite direc-
ton. Do you realize that the muzzle
of your piece is going to point
eighty inches from where it pointed
before-forty inches on the other
side of the target. Surely you don't
think the wind has changed enough
to warrant such a drastic change as
that"
Richard, already lying prone,
seemed to snuggle closer to the
ground, and as he carefully tucked
the butt of his rife into the hollow
of his shoulder and took up his aim,
muttered determinedly. Il reckon
she's about right"
There was a momentary pause,
then the report. Another slight
pause as all eyes were raised to-
ward the target. everybody expec-
family tense-that is, all except
Richard who gradually relaxed from
his firing position and lowered his
rihe-then out from behind the
