The football game is not to be the only Harvard-Yale contest in Spring field on the 23rd. The interest of that day is to be supplemented by a match between the shooting teams of the two universities. Arrangements for the match are almost completed, and it is to come off in the morning. Last year the first Harvard-Yale clay pigeon match ever held was shot in Cambridge or rather at the clubs shooting grounds at Watertown, and our team won the honor of being the only Harvard 'varsity team that succeeded in lowering the blue in 1889. We had a remarkably strong five last spring but this year some of the best men are lost. There must be plenty of men in the university, however, who can fill their places, and it is the duty of every man who can handle a gun to go out to Watertown and try for the team. The CRIMSON publishes notices of the days when the captain is going out with candidates and those days will come as often as possible; but if there is anyone who cannot get out at any of those times, he can use the range by applying to any officer of the club. Men who are used to shooting in the field are particularly wanted whether they have shot at the traps or not. We sincerely hope that a team can be taken to Springfield which will begin the day well by beating Yale. All the men who can do so should take an early train on the 23rd in order to see the match.
