According to the latest reports, forty sons of Princeton have already given their lives in the service of America and her allies. This num- ber, according to Dr. Paul Van Dyke, Princeton’s representative at the Am- erican Universities Union at Paris, is the greatest loss so far sustained by any American college. Prominent Princetonians are. included in this list, and among the fallen are well-known Tiger athletes, from Johnny Poe, the football hero, who fell, fighting with the Black Watch in 1915, to Jim Paull, Orange and Black oarsman, who lost I his life in the air service a few months ago. Dr. Van Dyke also reports that thirty-four Princeton men have been decorated for bravery and many others have been cited in orders. Many of the men decorated saw ser- viee in the ambulance field service, while others achieved fame while fighting in the American or some Al- lied service. Bob Nourse, the foot- ball star who.is the latest man to be decorated. distinguished himself as an infantry lieutenant in a German gas attack. Many of the former ambulance driv- ers have returned to Princeton to con- W. D. F. Hughes, '19, of Newpprt, R. I is a wearer of the Croix de Guerre. Ross Pentz, 20, of Du Bois, Pa., has also received two citations for bravery. Before the entrance of the United States into the war, thirty-two Prince- ton men had joined the forces of # | France and Great Britain. In the Canadian army one Prince- brigadier-general, one of captain in ;3. { the engineers three of lieutenant and one of a commissioned aviator. In the British army Princeton has a cap- squadron. a lieutenant in the infantry, and ten non-commissioned officers. Three Princetonians hold aviators' commissions in the French army, while another is a lieutenant in the artillery. Jimmie Lavender Retires.

The programme of this year's tour- nament, which by the way takes place on April 3, 4,'5 and 6, iS the most progressive ever presented to trap- shooters, ' It is a good one for the high gun shooters’and it also takes care of the mediocre shots. Real com- petition is provided in an up-to-the- minute. classification = of shooters. Furthermore, the system of handicap- ping which will be in vogue in this shoot is being tried out for the first time, and the handicapping of trap- shooters is a subject that one can get an argument on at any time—or place. Appreciating that proficiency should be rewarded - by the test ~of the trophies will be classified as well as the shooters. - Trophies in Class A will be more valuable than the ones in Class B and Class B trophies will be of better value than those award- ed in Class C, and so on down the list. e SR Shoot For 18 Yards Title. Besides the < 100° targets practice event on: the opening,K day, 18 yards Championship Challenge Trophy will be up for competition. The present holder_is Fred Tomlin, of Pennsgrove, N. J. He won it at the Westy Hogan’s shoot last September. The shoot for this trophy will be at 100 targets and thrown 60 yards, and is open to ama- teurs. This trophy was first shot for in 1895 wheh live-bird shooting was all the vogue. In 1917 it was up up for competition among amateur clay- target breakers. One dollar of the en- trance money goes toward an accum- ulation purse and when = this fund reaches $200 the trophy is called in and the shooters’ who have won the cup since the last accufmulation purse was shot for are eligible to shoot for the $200, while all other-amateurs can shoot in the sime competition for the trophy and title.® © “Those eligible for the accumulation purse are Allen Heil, «0f Allentown, Pa.; George N. Fish, of Lydcnville, N. Y.; William Foord, u‘)‘f Wllxlglhngfi:l, Del, and the pmse,xu\ older. The late A. B Richardson. of Dd&r, Del,, also had a leg on the chp. The best score made in this competition was 97, by Foord, in 1914, Heil in 1915 and Rlch‘ ardson in 1916. 2 New System. of Handicapping. Following the 18 yards championship on successive ddys will be shot the “Maplewood 100,” the Lakewood cham- pionship at 16 yards and the Lake- wocd Handicap. This event will be handicapped on the 1917 averages, of the trapshooters on a scheme devised by J. Leonatd Clark. Here is howe it goes: Those having an avenge of 95, 96 or 97 will shoot at 100 targets; a 94 average man will shoot at 101 targets; 2 923 average man at 102, 92 average tinue their studies. One of these men | a¢ 103, 91 average at 104; 90 average at 195; 89 average at 108; 22 average at 107; 86 and 87 at 108: 84 and 85 at 109; 82 and 83 at 110; 80 and 81 at 111; 78 and 79 at 112, As the figures indicate, the mediocre shooter is thrown 12 more targets than the good shooter, and therefore has a better chance tc make a. score. Besides this handicap arrangemeént the class sys- ton man holds the commission of|te;m will be in vogue and so that the high guns will not be eliminated there will be six trophies for the shooters who Ao best at 100 targets.
