The annual spring intercollegiate shoot will be held in New Haven next Saturday afternoon at 2.30 o'clock. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and the University of Pennsylvania will be represented by teams of five men, each man to shoot 50 birds at unknown angles. The Harvard team will be picked from the following men: E. Mallinckrodt, Jr., '00, H. W. Sanford '00, B. S. Blake '02, W. T. Williams '01, G. M. Phelps '02, E. W. Leonard '03, D. G. Kinney '02. Most of the men are good shots, but they have been somewhat erratic in their past work.
The shoot will be held under the "rapid fire" system; that is, squads of four will be made up by taking one man from each team, and these squads will go to the traps in turn until every man has shot ten times. The men will then be given a rest before beginning the second ten. The trophy, a large, solid silver cup, has already been won twice by Harvard. A third victory will secure it as a permanent possession of the club. The cup has been offered for competition since the forming of the Intercollegiate Shooting Association in the spring of 1898.
