When the National Collegiate Athletic- Association holds its annual meeting this year members of that body are likely to wonder whether. 'some of its most cherished ideals have not been struck by lightning. This is the more plainly suggested by announcements concerning plans for preliminary training at various_colleges. semble shortly at summer camps. Others will report to college fields some three weeks before college opens. All of this violates the letter, not to say the spirit, of resolutions adopted a year or two ago at the conference in this city. for the stand of the collegiate body was to avoid undue premium upon foot ball—more or less of a moral gesture. foot ball anthorities of various col- leges and just how binding may be gathered from perusal of plans every- where.

SEAGIRT, N. J., August 18.—Be- cause of heavy rain only three of the events of the annual Seagirt rifle tour- nament were shot yesterday. The only company team match was won by Com- pany K. 9th Massachusetts Infantry, with a team score of 133 for the 200 and 500 yard ranges. Capt. J. H. Kneudel of the Regular Army infantry team won the Risner match with 94 out of a ‘possible 100 at 200 vards. Lieut. Commander A. D. Denny of the Navy team was second with the same score, but the former’'s longer string of bull's eyes gave him first place. After many ties had been shot off in the Hayes individual match at 500 yards, Machine Gunner Otto Wiggs of the ma- rines won first place He contested for the_victory in a shoot-off with Private P. L.

Getting down to the practical side, too much preliminary practice is a drawback to any eleven. Foot ball is a strenuous game and the grind of daily practice is so arduous that play- ers regard Saturday intercollegiate contests, grueling though they may be. as holiday diversions. Look for a November slump in teams that have done too much work on the gridiron in September. CARPENTIER MAY QUIT. |5 Will Uidergo Ezamtmation Ascsr. MATMAN KNOCKED OUT. Couple Weeks Rest.
