INTO the team from the Colfax Shot
gun Club at Colfax last Sunday in the
first interclub contest between those
teams, the latter winning by the mar
row margin of eight points, after $50
targets had been shot by each team.
The result of the contest was very
gratifying to the local followers of
the game as the final score was con-
siderably closer than was anticipated.

ence for several years and has de-
/ Veloped some remarkably good shots
while the local club is still in its in

1t was arranged TO hold interclub
matches once each month, and the
second in the series will be held in
Pullman in the near future, and the
! local team shooting over it's own
grounds, victory for Pullman is not
improbable.

last Sunday will be counted on the
12-weeks season shoot The scores
made in this event were as follows
Allen, %; Austin, 20; Ford, 49,; Van
Dorm, Talmage, 10; Martin, / 6, and
Miller. IA. The leaders to date in

Martin, third, with 81
/ Immediately following the close of
/ the season shoot the biggest tourna-
ment ever held in Whitman county
will be held here. Shooters from all
over the state will be invited to at
tend and the tournament may last
over two days, Friday and Saturday.

at least three classes, according to
their prowess with the shotgun, and

school team on April 20 The Colfax
team won last years meet by quite a
large score, but the local students
are expecting victory in this second
contest. A special car will probably
be taken to Colfax for the "rooters'
when the meet is held.
The Whitman county meet will be
held at Garfield again this year. one
week after the Colfax meet. Pull
man took third place in this meet last
year, but it scheduled for first place
this year as the Tekoa and Colfax
teams are said to be much weaker
than last year
The Spokane high school team has
asked for dual meet with the local
team and if the finances can be pro-
vided for, their offer will be accepted
This is the only high school meet
scheduled for Pullman so the neces-
sary support should be easily secured.
The Pullman team is earnestly
working to win all three of the high
school meets already scheduled and
will try to hold the Spokane team to
close result.
