Indications are that this years Kan
sas team will be considerably stronger
than the one which represented Kansas
last year, in spite OF the fact that
number Of the members of the 1905
-a--e-
ningham. Captain Kitchens, Captain
Lawson and Lieutenant Shelley, who
were among the best shots on last
years team, are no longer connected
with the guard. Those who are incIud-
ed in the list this year who went to
Seas girt in 1905 are Major Campbell,
Captain Herman, Lieutenant Griff1th,
Lieutenant Berg Lieutenant Eagle,
Lieutenant Kessler. Sergeant Sawyer,
Sergeant Parsons and Sergeant Parm-
ley.
The new men on the team are Mu-
sician H L. Hunt. who was only one
point below Lieutenant Campbell, Ser
geant Davies cf Manhattan. Private
Smith of Burlington, Sergeant Foults of
Topeka, Sergeant Sherwood of Bur
lington and Lieutenant Stotts Of Gar
den city.
Davies and Hunt who made high
scores this year, were both ineligible
last year on account OF the rule which
requires that marksrnen serve a year
IN the guard before participating in
the competitive shoots.
Sergeant Foults is the only Topeka
man to ever get a place on the rifle
team. He made a score of 222.
The scores made at Fort Riley are
not especially high. on account of the
very high wind which prevailed dur
ing several days while the shooting
was in progress The wind cut down
the scores which otherwise would have
been made.
Adjutant General Hughes was at
Fort Riley all day yesterday, and took
several shots at the targets He made
two bulls eyes at 500 yards. He says
the rain last night was terrific, and
almost drowned out the camp of the
Kansas marksmen. The wind was so
severe that some Of the tents were
blown away.
