JI t;L 1II.Ml'.....N A I' 4LY RIFLE CLUB HOLDSFISSUTSO FiRST SOT SO Practice Session Shows Men Getting High Averages for Early Part of Season WOLVERINES COMPETE IN CLASS "A" RACE THIS YEAR Change in Rules Levels Teams to More Equal Plane; Farmers Were Champs Last Time With two weeks more left before the first match and with some of the men shooting 96 out of a possible 100 from the off-hand position,prospects for the Rifle club this year look rather good.. Competition among the contestants for berths on the team is growing very keen and some sort of a trial match will be necessary to decide who's who. Captain Schoepfle expects to have the men line up against each other the latter part of next week, and a tentative team will be chosen from among those who turn in the best scores. Last year the rifle team won the championship of class "B" and as a result will automatically compete in Class "A" this year. M. A. C. reg- istered a large number of perfect scores in this class last year and won the championship very handily. The W lverines have nothing to fear from tli Farmers this year since the re- cent change in the rules calling for 10 shots standing and 10 more from prone places both teams on an equal basis. Last year all 20 chances were from the prone position. A recent report from the National Rifle association's head- quarters states that the size of the bull's eye has been reduced. Since the inauguration of the mem- bership campaign a large number of names have been added to the already large list of members.

After Watching Eddie Carroll. Sprint, We 're Glad He 's a Miler Steve Farrell lined up the Michi- gan track leader a yard from scratch, with Obie O'Brien and Le Scofield taking the handicap. The scenery and setting were Waterman gym not long ago. As the trio got ready the crowd began to gather at the west end of the gym. By the time the boys were ready to crouch for the start, Dr. May and Manager Jack Sanders beside the ner- vous Daily writer were eagerly wait- ing for the spectacle. "Sprint about 35 yards, boys," was Steve's parting message to the ath- letes, just before he applied the "on your mark" formula. As the coach dented a pair of boards on the side wall of the gym, the three were off. Before Eddie had gone ten yards, Obie and Le were way off. As the first mentioned neared the 20-yard mark, the latter two were still grow- ing smaller before a cloud of gym dust. When the captain passed three ten-yard distances Obie and Le, com- ing back to the starting point, were passing unheard remarks as to his stride. Eddie reached the end of the agreed on course just as Steve was lining up the two sprinters for a 50-yard run together. Steve made some apologies as to Eddie's ability as a sprinter, by turn- ing to Dr. May just after the sprinters had started by remarking that "Eddie's not so much on sprinting, but he can run that fast all day." class represented and urges them to' elect their respesentatives as soon as possible.

DARTMOUTH WITHDRAWS FROM NEW ENGLAND ASSOCIATION Decide to Take Step at Mass Meeting After Considering All Conditions Hanover, N. H., Jan. 13.-At a mass meeting of the students in College hall it was decided by the athletic council that they with the sanction and con- sent of the student body should resign from the New England Intercollegiate Athletic association. This action has been taken by the council only after long consideration of the fact that Dartmouth has become too strong for the best interests of the w association. In as much as it has al- ways been the athletic council's aim to work to this end the members did not hesitate to bring this matter be- fore their students as is provided for by the constitution. Prof. C. E. Bolser, president of the council, addressing the students, told them of the decision of the council and explained to them that this stand was taken only after a thorough considera- tion of what it meant to Dartmouth as well as what it toathetassociation.

Thetall, slim boy from the wilds of Indiana last year negotiated six feet in the gym just before spring vaca- tion. Very good mark, indeed. Vic got out Friday and after locat- ing the jumping accessories busied himself. During the course of the aft- ernoon, the junior hoisted himself over the cross bar when at five feet 111-2 inches. Vic was out again yesterday, and exhibited such good form, along with Haigh, last year's best bet among the freshmen, that prospects for a capable bunch of jumpers on the Varsity look very good. Both were taking things easy, although each easily cleared five feet seven inches.

HOCKEY MANGERS TO HOLD SECOND MEETING CLASS REPRESENTATIVES FAIL TO REPORT AT INITIAL GATHER- ING YESTERDAY There will be another meeting of interclass hockey managers Monday afternoon at 5 oclock in the athletic association's offices. The authorities are anxious to start the season while the weather is ideal, but are handi- capped by the failure of classes to elect managers and the non-appearance of those who were elected at yesterday's meeting. At this meeting of the man- agers nothing definite was decided upon since there were not enough men present. Last year brought some good results from the classes and as many as eight teams contested for all-campus honors.
