TTniversity of Washington, Seattle, Feb. 14. Acceptance of an invitation to join the Intercollegiate Association of Affili ated Rifle .Clubs was made by the Uni versity of Washington Rifle .club today. Through this association the government will send a, six man team from each club to Caldwell, N. J., for Bix weeks next summer, to receive intensive training in small arms practice. The ' club decided also to send a rep resentative to California again this sum mer to defend the grand trophy won by the University of Washington last year. The club will send a 10-man team to Camp Lewis on February 19 and 20 to participate in the National Rifle Associa tion matches to be held there. e Gasoline of Quality 1 Hsrht heavyweight wrestling Big Season Slifle Assni TUST as the circus is the biggest ever to the press agent, every season is the greatest ever to the rifle "bug." That goes for 192j0, and chipping in with that spirit of opti mism we want to add that 1921 will be an even greater year for rifle shooting than any year, that has been torn from the calendar. There were more than 1300 shooters in the national matches at Camp Perry and more than two million rounds of .30 calibre ammunition was shot. About a million rounds of other ammunition was used. It is more than likely that the national matches will again be held at Camp Perry and the dates will most likely be from July 30 to August 28. SI ANY. CLUBS FORMED There was a great revival in the art of rifle shooting during 1920. Hundreds of clubs were formed, and the great ma jority were organized to shoot the small bore rifle. "s Small bore rifle shooting is the coming sport. One needs to be just as accurate, possibly more so. with the small bore as with the .30 calibre. It is no child's play. We feel free in saying that the small bore range at Camp Perry this year, if It Is central, will be the most active spot on the grounds. An idea of the increase in interest in rifle shooting is shown in the growth of the Winchester Junior Rifle corps in 1920. This organization, for boys . and girls under 18 years, se cured 32,000 new members, going from 43.000 to : 75.000. COLLEGES HAVE TEAMS The polleges took to small bore shoot ing and this winter the Yale team is shooting matches with 15 other college teams, including Oxford and Cambridge. This brings collegiate rifle shooting to the forefront with an international match. Only a few years ago a rifle range was a novelty In a college, now few colleges are without them. The National Rifle association is con ducting : its national indoor gallery matches this winter and there is a new national "organization in the field look ing for patronage the American Small bore league. Both organizations have excellent programs. The A. S. L. will conduct an outdoor championship at Tenafly, N. J., in September, and in this shoot a team will be chosen to represent the United States in 1 an all nations match. ' This competition should be beneficial to the small bore rifle game. American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars organisations have taken to small bore rifle shooting and the Field Museum in Jackson Park, Chicago, considered the finest building in the United States when it was erected in 1883, has been taken over by the Amer ican Legion and turned into a rifle range.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY ' tCali&raia) Is Willard Entitled to Title Bout? By Jack Yeiock NEW YORK. Feb. 14. (I. X. S.) Is Jess Willard entitled to a match with the winner of the Dempsey-Car-pentler bout? Is there any reason for the boxing public to believe that the big Kansan is Btill capable of putting up a good fight? i Here are Questions boxing fans have been arguing pro and con since Tex Rlckard. announced his plan to . bring Willard back. The former champion has declared that he wants a chance to make an honest try for a come-back, not because of the money there will be In it for mm, dui because he believes he can regain the world's championship. But Is there a good fight left in Wil lard today? . - Jess has been out of the ring close on to two years. He is no longer a young ster. He was well past t&e 30 year mile stone when he whipped Jack Johnson. What of him now? It's a riddle the boxing public would like to see solved. NEEDS ONE BOUT : ; - ? If Willard is really In earnest about winning back the title be should have at least one good fight under his belt between now and next Labor day, the date Rickacrd has set for his match with the victor of the Dempsey-Carpentler clash. Willard should take on one or more big, rugged heavyweights and prove to his own satisfaction and the satisfac tion of the public that he is still a bat tler, entitled to meet Dempsey or Car pentier for the world's titlfc He should be more than willing to do that much and he need not look far for opponents. Fred Fulton would make an ideal op ponent for Willard. So would Harry Wills, who licked Fulton, though there is no great public demand for Wills against white heavyweights. FULTON HELD BETTER Fulton and Willard compare very fa vorably. Willard lost to Dempsey in three rounds ; Fulton in one round. But today Fulton is a better scrapper than he was when he met Dempsey at Newark. More, he is an active fighter and has been keeping as busy as possible, ine fact that white heavyweights who pro fess to have championship aspirations are giving him a wide berth shows what they think of him. For months he has been forced to confine his ring activities to the dusky boys. The others don't want any of his game. Tom O'Rourke, his manager, gives us the answer : "He hits too hard," says O'Rourke. "He Isn't clubby enough for our white heavies. They don't want any, of his game.' It this is the case, Fulton is the ideal trial horse ' for big Jess. A defeat of Fulton would be a plume in Willard's sombrero and the boxing public would take a real lively interest in his come back. To a . man up a tree it looks like Willard's move. TVTBW YORK, Feb. 14. (U. P.) Bat tling Levinsky, who was to have fought Bombardier Wells in London, February 23, is on his way home, accord ing to a message received today by his manager, Dan Morgan.

Rube Welch, promoter, is said to have gone broke on the Wilde-Herman fight, and then called off Levinsky's date with the ; English heavy. - " f Buffalo. N. T., Feb. 14. (TJ.

Yacht Race Plans Being Made n K K S K K K t t n , ? Mayflower May Be Converted By Westbreok Pegler TVfEW YORK. Feb. 14. (U. P..) When the great pleasure boats wing across the line off Sandy Hook next Fourth of July, in a race to OstendV Belgium, for the King Albert cup, the three greatest deep water yacht clubs hi America Will have their representatives on the com mittee boat to give the start, observe the sailing and judge the finish. The Belgian ambassador. Baron de Cartier," made a trip to New.Tork from Wash ington to invite the New York, the Larchmont and the Atlantic yacht clubs, to appoint each a member of the com mittee. He tasked J. P. Morgan, com modore of the New York Yacht club, to name one member, suggesting the chair man of the club's racing committee, who is H. DeB. Parsons. A parallel sugges tion was made to Commodore James D; Ford, of the Larchmont Yacht, club and to Commodore Francis R. Mayor of the Atlantic Yacht club. Howell C. Perrin, a well known ama teur sailor, is chairman of the Larth mont's regatta committee, and Carlos de Vasra of the Atlantic's. DECIDE ON 3IAYFLOWER This committee will have work to do in the meantime. It will pass on the eligibility of several fishing schooners which fishing concerns may desire to en ter with an idea more of advertising than Of sportsmanship. It will also judge whether the Gloucester fishing schooner. Mayflower, now on the stocks and build ing for the annual Gloucester-Nova Sco tia fishing schooner race, may be sailed for the cup. If a fishing boat is nominated, it must have been converted from commercial purposes to a pleasure craft a reasonable time before July 4. The Mayflower' Is being built to defend the cup that the American fishermen won off Nova Scotia last fall. One stipulation of that, race is, however, that each entrant must have made at least one fishing voyage and the Canadians are claiming already. that the Mayflower will not be completed in time to do so in good faith. Gloucester men are making the same suggestion about the challenger that the Canadians are building. Therefore, there is a fine opportunity for both boats, neither ever having gone fishing for profit, to enter the Albert cup race. . INTREPID MAY SAIL The boat considered most likely to be nominated by the New York Yacht club is the Intrepid, a big schooner, owned by Willis Sharo Kilmer, heir to the Swamp Root million's. The Intrepid was to F&j&fLl M J I r 1 I I m I Mm i fis-- imperial f !GTfTrJ (Fort), tff I ' Guarantee VOL' '$J fou of the imperial and Cabinets once owned by Alexander Smith Cochran, known as America's richest bachelor un til he married Mme. Ganna Walski, whose brief -career with the Chicago Opera company - recently aroused much Interest. The Intrepid now wears the sails of the ill-omened Sea Call, built for Cochran and scrapped without ever wetting her decks because her metal hull proved unusually susceptible to corro sion. Kilmer has been planning a cruise in the South Pacific, but recently said that if the New York Yacht club wanted to nominate his ' boat he would change his : plans and . let her carry the- club flag for the cup. . . : The ' Vagrant, owned by Russel A. Alger of Minneapolis, is also likely eli gible. There are many others, and as there will be no trial contests to elim inate entrants, a large starting field Is expected. . THE Portland teams which have en tered the annual tournament of the fNcrthwest International Bowling asso ciation rolled sweepstakes on the Oregon alleys Sunday afternoon.
