.1 he club trapshooting season opened last Saturday 
with a te^am match, eight men. between Yale University 
and N. A. C. The shoot took place at the shore traps 
of the N. Y. A. C. at Travers Island. The enthusiasm 
of the blue was not quite equal to the shooting qualities 
of the winged-foot squad, who, besides being selected 
from a bunch of trained shooters, had the advantage of 
home grounds. The score was: N. Y. A. C., 642; Yale, 
596. The match was at 800 birds. High gun was R. L. 
Spotts, of N. Y. A. C., with 91, 12 better than his op¬ 
ponent, Mr. Scott. F. H. Schauffler of the Mercury 
Foot, while he shot only 85 per cent., beat his man by 30 
bluerocks. The high man from New Haven was G. E. 
Dimock, who broke 86 saucers. Air. Spotts was the big 
light among the local gunners. He won the committee 
cup from scratch, after shooting off a tie with three 
handicap men. His score was 23 in the tie. To him 
also went the Hall cup in the distance handicap, break¬ 
ing 20 out of 25 from 21yds. Rather than to appear 
grasping he passed up an event or two, and then took the 
cup for the day’s high score by reducing to minute 
particles 91 of the 100 disks thrown for him. Two 
seconds also went into Mr. Spotts’ enviable record. 
Twelve shooters went after the visitors’ cup, which ap¬ 
peared to run over with G. E. Dimock’s handicap of 
S, so he took it unto himself. 
The November cup fell to the well directed charges of 
IV 2 chilled hastened toward it by F. H. Schauffler. He 
needed his handicap of one to take it from friend Spotts. 
The president’s trophy found a place in the trophy 
cabinet of Tom AlcCahill, who exceeded the speed limit 
in the way of handicap (he being allowed 3), getting 21 
birds net. 
Corbett, Ranney and Crowe tied at 23 on the first leg 
for the Thanksgiving Day cup. Scores follow:

Young walked away with the silver trophy, emblematic 
of the Mid-West championship, by displaying his usual 
good form, when in a hard race. After qualifying with 
a score of 48 out of 50, he defeated his first three op¬ 
ponents by breaking 25 straight in each of the three 
rounds, and then finished up the final round with 48 
out of 50, breaking a total of 171 out of 175. 
Thomas also qualified with a score of 48 out of 50, and 
although he broke 24 out of 25 in the first round he was 
put out of the race by Kneusel, who broke his 25 
straight. 
The pleasant weather brought out a field of sixty-five 
shooters, all of whom enjoyed the day at the traps. A 
large gallery of spectators were also" very much inter¬ 
ested in the several different matches. 
A strong, gusty wind, which blew from the west most 
of the day, made many of the targets exceedingly hard 
to connect with, and consequently the scores of many 
of the shooters were away below their usual average. 
Buffalo Bill Gun Club. 
North Platte, Neb., Oct. 30-31.—Thirty-one shooters 
have been actively engaged here for the past two days in 
hunting the elusive bluerock, 14,000 of which were 
liberated here. Each man was requested to exterminate 
200 birds. Of the 10,180 that never reached the seclusion 
of the long grass, E. I,. Brawner got 376, allowing only 
24 birds to slip between the shot in his well directed 
pattern and go on their way through the ambient at¬ 
mosphere. For his proficiency in paving the back field 
with shattered clay, Air. Brawner gets a medal and 
other considerations that go with high gun. Ed. Varner 
came along as next best meadow dresser with a wagon 
loaded with the fragments of 375 saucers. L. Gales blew 
L out of 371, and took third money. 
George Maxwell upheld the supremacy of the profes¬ 
sional shooters with 194 the first day and" 187 the second, 
planting only 19 birds in his two days’ work. Ed. 
O’Brien shot more consistently, getting 190 each day, net 
result, however, scored him one less than the high man. 
The shoot was a decided success from cashier to 
score board.
