...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. Both teams shot well, the Harvard team better than ever before. At the start, Harvard took the lead, and kept increasing it at every round.

Owing to some unfortunate delay, only Yale will send a team, but delegates from other college gun clubs will be present. We regret that the original intention of the club to hold a large tournament could not be carried out, but we are glad that the Yale club has accepted the invitation. A contest between Harvard and Yale should call forth abundant interest, and in the match this afternoon the Shooting club has our heartiest wishes for success...
