match was long past, it was concluded that it had been called off for the year, and the team gave up practice and disbanded. Then, one day, like a bomb from the sky, came the news that i'Arms and the'Man was publishing scores of the Military School Match. There was a near riot. NVhat had we done that we should be turned down Hat and without a word? An indignant letter to Wasliiiigtoii brought no reply. Finally a Wi1'e was sent asking what we could do to get the cour- tesy of a reply and besides Colonel Davis was asked to visit headquarters personally and locate the trouble. Then, at last, we were told that it was all a mistake-that the notice should have been sent--that it was sent, etc., etc. Four matches had been shot by the other schools, but we were told to go ahead and shoot as fast as we could to catch up with the other teams, and that, in the meantime, the matter would be taken up with the executive committee to see if the irregularity could be overlooked. The team got together again, and began shooting, but all the excitement and interest was gone. The weather was warm, other sports were in order, and the uncertainty whether the scores would be counted all proved obstacles to good shooting, but the team did the best it could under such disheartening circumstances. On the face of the returns as given in the Arms and the Man , St. Iohn's fDelalieldj has won the match and N. Y. M. A. is second, but, as the executive committee has made no decision so far as we know, we are not sure that our scores will be counted at all.
