WITH THE

The Washington Rifle Club has lost its

week Of the shoot. the Kiowa Shoot
ing Club OF Des Moines. Iowa, displaced
it from the lead. the westerners shoot
ing a team total of ga to the local
clubs e33, and taking the lead by elev-
en- points. In last weeks shoot the
Kiowa Club shot a team total ten points
higher than that of the Washington
Rife Club. increasing it's lead to TWEEN :
ty-one points. This makes 1t hardly
possible for the local club to again at
tain the lead, for unless the western
club goes far below its standard the
local shooters must get perfect score
to have chance. The Washington
Rife Club is. however. sure OF second
place as the team in third place is far
below it.
There is no form of organization that
has done SO much to populariZe the
sport of rife shooting as intsrelqb
league contests. say rifle club officials.
That is to say. the forming into a
league of number of clubs for the
purpose OF conducting periodical match
es, during the indoor and outdoor sea-
sons. each club shooting on its homo
range and exchanging results by mail
OF telephone. The National Rifle Asso-
citation of America. about eight years
ago, arranged league contests for civil
ian. public, high school and college
rife clubs. the popularity of which
competitions is testified to by the large
number of organizations which yearly
enter the matches of the n. r. A. The
stimulus thus given by these interclub
shooting matches is directly respon-
sible for the formation of rife clubs in
a majority Of the leading schools and
colleges. Last year the Central High
School team in the interhiRh school
match proved itself the strongest pre-
paratory team in the United States. go
