CHICAGO MAY GET GRAND
 AMERICAN HANDICAP SHOOT
By PETER P. CARVE,

It is more than likely that Chicago will be the scene of the Grand Ameri- can Handicap Trapshooting tournament in 1921
 Cleveland staged the trapshooting classic this year and is satisfied that it did good job-but does not want the shoot next year.
 Chicago does. The Lincoln Park Gun Club is willing to stage the shoot, as is the South Shore Country Club, wnich has staged three Grand Americans in recent years. The city of Chicago is building T $3o,ooo club house in Lincoln Park for the benefit of the shooters. Just as many traps can be erected in Lincoln Park as were used in Cleveland. The South Shore Country Club can erect ten traps, possibly more. Ten traps are necessary-maybe more.
 Chicago appears to be the logical place for the Grand American. The shoot last August should have been the biggest ia the last ten years. It wasn't. There isn't any question but that 1t would have been if held in Chicago. When the comSned executive committees of the American Trapshooting Association meet in Chi cago on January the chances are that one of the above organizations wll De granted the privilege of conduating the shoot.
 Cleveland went to considerable expense in staging the Grand American ani tte Cleveland shooters are; quite willing to i dispose of the paraphernal:l 70 the or ganization that promotes the next Grand American. There is a lot nf waste i, running this shoot when it is helc; in a i different city each year. It would bt well for the American Trapshootius A. | sociation to purchase the enjoyment sni | keep it in storage from year 10 year. 1 A suggestion made at the annua
 meeting of the shooters by r. D. S.oop
 of Montana. that the Grad Americar Handicap be held in September will ra
 ceiye consideration at the January meet
 ing. Mir. Stoop suggested that nrer, state. championship and Zone hanlicaJ
 be held previous to; the Grand American and that the trapshooting clessic be hel, | just prior to the opening of the hrntin;
 season. Even if the committee doesn'
 feel like moving the big shoot 70 sep.

HAYWARD HASN'T JOINED

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. se.-Harvard university has not joined an inter-collegi- ate hockey league and probable will not do so, Major F. W. Moore, graduate manager of athletics announced today. Word that Harvard was included among several colleges that had come together to form a league was probably due to misunderstanding, he said. The Crim- son is glad to enter any assoSia tion or discussion for the good of any sport, but does not wish to be party to a league that provide a schedule of games which dictates the oponent and the date MT. Moore said he added, that Harvard wish es to play it's natural rivals of Prince ton, Yale. Dartmouth and other colleges in accordance with it's custom and the development of the teams.

STILL USE ROADS ROMANS
 BUILT 2n CENTRIES Al

Two thousand years ago the Ro- mans built roads, some of which are still in active service. These roads have lasted through the centuries, simply because of their massive con- struction.
 The Romans built four successive courses, or layers, on an earth sub- grade, carefully prepared and drained. First came the statumen, or founda- ton; then the rodus, next the nucleus, and finally the pavimentum, or wear ing surface.
 The statumen and pavimentum con- sisted of large flat stones, while the two intervening courses were built of smaller stones laid in lime mortar
 To carry the chariot and packhorse traffic of Roman times these roads were seemingly ridiculously heavy, yet the wisdom of the builders was amply demonstrated by the eight hun dred years during which the Roman road system formed the backbone of the transportation system of the ancient empire.-New York Tribune. -O
