WEEKLY SHOOT YESTERDAY.The weekly shoot of the Harvard Shooting Club was held yesterday afternoon at Watertown. The rules governing one of the matches have been changed for the purpose of making the scores more even, and the scores surpassed even the hopes of the directors. Heretofore the handicap in match B has consisted of birds given to those who were not prize winners. Yesterday the men shot at different distances, according to their averages in former matches. The result was that the scores, though even, with the exception of the two highest, were rather low; two and three predominating. Three...
...demand. It is a pity that men who desire to have the benefit of a good gymnasium during the winter months should be prevented simply because there are not enough lockers to go around.

None of the men on the eleven have learned to do with even a little success, one of the four things that are the elements of the game-blocking, getting through, tackling and dropping on the ball. Not one of the men watch the ball, and with scarcely an exception, they jump at a man's head in tackling, instead of taking him low. The backs, when they look for a hole in the line-which is not often,-can seldom find one. The men play without a bit of snap or earnestness. They seem to think they can play...
