Bose; Dinger Next Izzy Hoffman is no longer State live bird champion. Joo Greaves, of Dela ware Water Gap, won the title yester day at Delaware Water Gap, killing every bird. Hoffman missed a swift wing carrier. Two challenges reached the winner immediately after the shoot. One was from Pred Dinger, of Harrisburg, and the other from E. B. Kose, of Philadelphia. Greaves accepted the Rose chal lenge and the shoot-off will take place on April 6 at Delaware Water Gap, where yesterday's event took place. The winner of this contest will meet Dinger. Hoffman a few days ago made a sweeping challenge, and it is under stood that he will meet all comers, but cannot do much shooting in the East until after the close of the baseball season, as Hoffman leaves within two weeks for Peoria, 111. I,oses His First Bird The conditions governing the State challenge trophy match call for 25 live birds per man, not less than 25 yards rise nor more than 33 yards rise. Hoffman, as the holder of the championship title, named thirty yards rise, and after a battle royal before the traps, in which Izzy Hoff man lost his first bird, a twisting left quartering bird that successfully dodged botli loads, Greaves succeeded in killing his twenty-five straight and a new champion at live birds was created. Hoffman finished with twenty-four kills recorded and was a very much disappointed man, as both he and his friends felt confident Izzy could de feat the wing shooter from the Water Gap. Tiie birds were a selected flock and, assister by a high wind, took quick, accurate shooting to bring them to earth inside the wire boundary, and sensational long shots were numerous that brought applause from the large gallery that numbered close to five hundred spectators.

There has been a feeling among the under-classmen that there was little show for the team, but Coach Peet soon dispelled this idea. He showed there was plenty of room for good material, and that the best man would secure the position, regardless of the class to which he belonged. Fitzpatrick, the school's star high jumper has left school until next year, and the coaches will have difficulty in securing a man to take his place.
