were to judge a dozen high grade guns by model and finish only, you could pick a “Fox” 
every time without seeing the name plate. 
But the real worth of the A. H. Fox Gun lies in its mechanical construction. If 
you were to see the firing, ejecting and locking mechanism of the “Fox” side by side with 
similar parts from other guns, you would be amazed at the absolute simplicity of the Fox.” 
Then, if you remember that simplicity means strength and reliability you have 
the reason for “Fox” supremacy. 
“Fox” guns are made in different grades at different prices. Write for descriptive 
literature or ask to see the gun most in favor with trap-shooters, grade “C,” listed at $100.

Washington, D. C., July 4. —The entry list in the inter¬ 
collegiate rifle shooting match, which took place at tne 
Wakefield, Mass., range, on June 20, was somewhat dis¬ 
appointing. Only four institutions were represented, 
Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of (tech¬ 
nology, University of Pennsylvania, and George Wash¬ 
ington University. A team had entered from Yale, but 
did not appear. . 
The question naturally arises, why is it that so- little 
interest is taken among the colleges in this branch of 
sport, and it does not take long to discover the main 
trouble. It is a lack of facilities for practice. Ihe 
students of Yale must depend upon the courtesy of the 
National Guard range. As this range has been fully 
occupied by the national guardsmen for some time past, 
the Yale team was unable to secure preliminary practice 
to warrant their entrance in the competition. The 
marksmen of Columbia College, which won the inter¬ 
collegiate indoor competition last winter, have no piace 
for practice since the Creedmoor range was closed, con¬ 
sequently they were also- out of the game this year. 
Cornell is in the same position since the issue to their 
cadet battalion of the hew army rifle. The use of this 
arm has been prohibited on their old range as being 
unsafe owing to the increased velocity. Princeton had 
a good rifle club and was the winner of the inter-col¬ 
legiate trophy in 1905, its first year in the competitions. 
They were then using the National Guard range at 
Princeton. This privilege was later withdrawn with the 
result that the Princeton rifle club went to pieces, and 
thus ended rifle shooting in “Old Nassau.” 
Another handicap to the colleges and universities in 
excellence in marksmanship is the difficulty in procur¬ 
ing arms and ammunition, which cannot be issued to 
them under the law. It is therefbre necessary for the 
students to purchase their own arms and ammunition, 
which makes rifle shooting to them an expensive luxury. 
It: is doubtful whether the rifle teams from Harvard 
University, the University of Pennsylvania and George 
Washington University would have participated in the 
tournament had it not been for the fact that a majority 
of their members were also members of the National 
Guard and received their arms and their practice through 
this membership. 
The Wakefield match was won by the George Wash¬ 
ington University team with a score of 725. Five points 
better than fours. The day of the match was bright and 
sunny with the temperature rather high, although this 
was tempered by fitful gusts of wind across the range 
from the left. This made holding very difficult, es¬ 
pecially at 2C0yds. The winning team shot with the 
Krag rifle, and the University of Pennsylvania team, 
which was second with a score of 687, shot with the new 
Springfield rifle. Harvard, using Krag, came out third 
with a score of 687. The team from Massachusetts 
Institute of Technology, which finished last, was un¬ 
fortunate in having lost two of their best marksmen, who 
had departed for their homes. They were also handi¬ 
capped in having the model Krag with the 1901 flat sight. 
They used Frankford reloaded ammunition, issued to 
them by the Government. 
This match between the colleges was inaugurated in 
1905 by the National Rifle Association of America, which 
offered a handsome trophy to be competed for annually- 
The contest was held that year at Sea Girt, and won by 
the Princeton team. In 1906 the trophy was captured
