The University gun team left yesterday afternoon, to compete in the intercollegiate shoot to be held at 2.30 o'clock today on the grounds of the Princeton Gun Club. As Columbia has decided to enter a team this fall, there will be five universities entered: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania, and Columbia. From the present outlook, the championship seems to lie between Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, with the chances slightly in faver of Yale. On the Harvard team are only two men who were members of the University team which last spring won the intercollegiate championship. Corbett, who was a member of the winning team last spring, is playing football, and his absence will weaken the team.

This fall the team has lost none of its matches, and as a whole has made fairly good scores. Both Yale and Princeton have strong teams, the former retaining the three men who made the highest scores for their team in the last intercollegiate tournament. The Pennsylvania team was defeated by Harvard in a dual shoot last Saturday; the strength of the Columbia team has not been tested in any matches.

The teams will be composed of five men, and each man will shoot at fifty birds thrown from a magau trap. The individual championship and the championship cup will be competed for at the same time. Cups will be given to each member of the winning team.

The teams are as follows:

Harvard--E. E. du Pont (captain) '03, P. Bancroft '03, F. Ingalls '04, G. Forbes '04, H. R. Colson '05, J. W. Bell '06.

Yale--H. W. Dupuy '03, (captain), D. W. Franchot '03, C. A. Barnes '03, H. A. Rosenthal '03, T. P. Motler '03, S. A. Hill '04, T. P. Kineon '04.

Pennsylvania--Lowden '03 (captain), Fitler '05, Adams '05, Robertson '05, Farwell '04.

The Princeton team has not yet been picked but will be chosen from the following men: P. Archer '04 (captain), A. B. Gaines '05, C. Frich '05, W. D. Pardoe '05, K. R. McAlpin '05, G. D. McCreary '05, O. D. Munn '06, K. G. Goodman '06.
