CREEpMooR, Aug. 5.-The Seventh Resi-
ment made q clean sweep OF the resimental
team matches OF the State meet by defeating
their old opponents Of the Seventy FIRST
to-day in the big State match. II Was almost
as hard won victory q the win by point
In the brigade match on Thursdav. for tho
teams alternated in the lead and the Seventh
won by but seven points. The last stage OF
the match was marked BY remarkable coinci-
dence. as the Seventh and Seventy first. the
leading teams at the end Of the long range
f,ring. tied in their skirmish runs. each team
rolling up ESQ points In their assault on the
black silhouette figures. Capt. McLean's
men. however, had outshot the Seventy
nrst cracks at the /. 900 yards. cutting down
a big lead to lead of seven points for their
own team, and this scant margin decided the
match.
The TW eifth made desperate attempt 70
win out on their skirmish but failed to equal
the runs OF the leaders and had to be content
with third place. The Seventy-fourth OF
Buffalo, the second tea m in last years match
was not formidable at any stage and nm ished
In nth place.
The Seventh celebrated its victory In vo-
ciferous fashion and kept an open clubhouse
for the remainder Of the afternoon. The
best OF feeling reigned between the leade 70.
and cheers for each other were freely ex-
changed By winning the brigade Major
Generals and the State matches the Seventh
scored a sensational finish.
The team had not shown up strongly In
the association meet and II looked ss though
