Handicapped by the absence of its captain and best shot, M. M. Johnson 31, the University rifle team took fourth place in the Intercollegiate Service Rifle Match held at the United States Naval Academy last Saturday: The Navy team won the match with George Washington University shooting second and Virginia Military Institute third...
...long (20 years) has Juan Vicente Gomez been Dictator-President of Venezuela that when he positively and repeatedly refused to circumvent his country's constitution "just once more" and accept a fourth term (TIME, May 13), the Venezuelan Congress knew not what to do.

Prior walked, Whitney fanned, and then Gilligan scored his captain from second with a sharp single. Batchelder, substitute for Dudley in the third, fanned, but Ticknor, who took Whitmore's place in the batting order when the latter went to the showers, knocked out a scratchy double, scoring Prior and Gilligan...
