STATE RIFLE TEAM.
Preparations Made for Final Tryouts
 in New Haven.

Preparations are being made for the final tryout at New Haven in July for the men of the Connecticut Ma tional Guard to represent the state on the team which will be entered in the national match. The best all-around shots maturing in this tryout being consistent with scores made in prac- tice will be named for the team.
 Acting on suggestions made in a cir cular from the division of militia af- fairs of the war department steps are soon to be taken to establish a sys- tenn by which candidates for state teams may be selected. The circular says:
 Rifle practice is primarily intended to develop the firing ability of all for the purpose of perfecting few expert shots.
 The federal funds used for target practice in any state should be used to carry out this idea
 Tn war, the enlisted man is the one who fires the rife and his training in it's use is the main object sought. Com pany officers should be good rife shots so that, by example. and by their knowledge, they may better instruct their men. In selecting competitors for a rifle team, it is suggested that some system be adopted by means of which, not only will the best shots be chosen, but the maximum amount of instruction to the enlisted men be given.
 The state of New Jersey has estab- lished 8 school of musketry, which has an excellent course of instruction. The attendance is purely voluntary. It is provided that the state team for the national match and other similar con- tests be selected from the students making the best record at the final tryout in the school It is understood that over TOO applications for attend ance at the school have been received.
 The state of Michigan has adopted a system of selecting competitors for their team to represent the state in the international rife matches to be held in August which should produce the best shots in the state, and at the same time stimulate military efficien- cy. For the tryout. each organiza- tion armed with the rife will send one man; regimental commanders to se- lect the candidate from the staff and company commanders from their or ganizations, taking into consideration the following qualifications: Marks manship attendance at drill, soldier ly appearance. intelligence, ability to teach, cheerfulness and military cour- tesy. At the tryout which will be held in July. 12 competitors will be chosen for high aggregate scores and three selected by the team captain.
 It is considered that these two states have adopted methods which are along correct lines.
