him to do SO he will. He is deeply
interested in the Georgia team, and
hopes to see it win honors at the meet.
ION account of the short notice
given for the selection of the team,
and the consequently short time we
have to practice, we do not go to
Sea Girt with any idea of winning this
year." said Col Cam. 1--WE desire
the government to know that Georgia
is willing to lend hand in making the
newly inaugurated national rife
matches a success.
at wouldn't look well for us not to
attend, especially since a Savannah
ian has been honored by the President
by appointment as a member of the Ma
tional Trophy Board. We are willing
to go, though we won't do as well as
we could with more practice"
A great deal of interest is manifest
ed on all sides in the contests, the Sa-
vannah rif1emen reading with eager
ness any news of the coming con-
