HARVARD, 121; YALE, 98.The Harvard Shooting club shot its first match with the Yale Gun club, Saturday afternoon, on the club's grounds at Watertown. Except for a strong wind, the weather was perfect for shooting, and even without the wind it is extremely doubtful if the scores would have been much better.

The eleven has been improving lately, and with sharp fielding and steady work ought at least to keep down the runs. Cricket has taken a good start this year, and more interest has been shown in it than in former years. The eleven ought...
