INTERCOLLEGIATE RIFLE MATCHES.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

EDITORS HERALD-CRIMSON-Dear. Sirs : The following is clipped from Forest and Stream, Nov. 15th, and seems to be quite a sensible suggestion : "Harvard has a rifle and gun club. Princeton has something of the kind, and so has the University of Pennsylvania. Why can we not see a series of intercollegiate rifle, or clay pigeon matches ? When students graduate, they put away base-ball (unless they join the professionals), boating, foot-ball, and other like amusements ; but the collegian who learns to use the gun or rifle has acquired something that will last through his lifetime. The recreation of shooting is one that will not interfere with the dignity of any station in life."
