Good Records Expected.

The Wisconsin soldiers expected to
make some records during rifle prac-
tice at Leon Springs that would prove
conclusively that the Badgers are at
the top in the shooting game as well
as in drill, parades and hardness.
For years Wisconsin has been
proud of its craftsmanship. 1t has
stood among the first In rifle work. In
1914 its scores were higher than
those made in the big eastern matches
at Seagirt, n. ]. The best score made
there was 326 out of possible $50
points. At the state rifle camp at
Camp Douglas the highest score was
32S, two points higher.
The superiority of Wisconsin marks
men over those of other states is
bOthering the Badgers so little that
the principal compitition has been
among the regiments, each anxious
to outpoint and out-average the other.

Since they have arrived at the gov

wisconsin Guardsmen have been get
ting a welcome relief from the monot-
onous camp life that they have had for
the past few weeks.
The soldiers were not brought here
for rest or for pleasure, as the pro-
gram called for some real hard work,
but at the same time the change was
welcomed and the men were eager to
enter into the new work that was
promised upon their arrival here.
The plans of the officers called for
the playing of war games and stiff
practice on the rifle range here for
about ten days.
