6, '. 8. The guests were MT. and Mrs. Felton, and MT. and Mrs. Mur- dock.
 The Zetetics know now that they have some excellent cooks in their society, by judging from the good meals that were prepared. It was wonderful sleeping on your bed made on the ground out in the open air, where you could look above and see the stars twinkling; and after everything was still hear the roaring of the water. Swimming and fish ing added much to the pleasure of the trip.
 Normal Team Wins Rifle Match
 Tempe Normal school has devel- oped a rifle team of which she may well be proud. The try-outs on the home range resulted in the selection of five cadets to represent the school in the annual cadet matches held at Tucson. April 27-30. Three of these men, Charles Hanson, Chester Marsh and Elmer Fitzpatrick, were entered for the team match, while Sergeants Kenneth Rubel and Robert Vest en- tered the individual matches. Travel ing to and from the meet, the rifle men had an opportunity to try the sensation of wearing the new in fantry packs recently issued to them and to get some notion of how it feels | to carry the army back load
 At Tucson all contestants were quartered in the fine new armory where they were well taken care of, though they found that a rifle match means work and plenty of it. From | reveille at 5:30 a. m. until taps at 30 D. m. there was very little occa- sion for time to hang heavy on their hands. During their few spare moments they might be seen congre- gated before a certain show window gazing with admiring and covetous | eyes at gleaming array of medals and silver trophy cups, one of which | in particular commanded attention | because of its size and beauty its central position, and because this was the principal prize, the cup of fered by the normal and high school cadet commission to the team which should win first place in the team match. Five stages of this team ! match were fired on Thursday, leav- ing the sixth and final stage to be the climax of the meet, and keeping all of the ten teams in anxious sus- pense until the very end.
 Friday was devoted to the indi- vidual matches during which the varying fortunes of the forty two contestants maintained the lively in terest of shooters and spectators alike. Although our fellows did not succeed in landing any silver in these matches, each of them acquired place medals in one or more events, and Sergeant Rubel made third place in grand aggregate score which is no small honor.
 Reveille Saturday morning got the | boys out of their blankets an hour | earlier than usual, for several stages of the individual match had still to be fired. and the chill dawn found them trucking it over the hills to the range. It was nearly noon when the final stage of the team match was reached, and now the interest be- came almost painful as, one by one the shooters completed their scores and dropped back to watch with eager anticipation, the marking disks on the targets of their team mates. The Normal school entered this stage :. 19 points behind first place, fully realizing that every shot must bt made to do its full duty. Point by point they overlook their rivals, ant when the match closed and the score: were checked, they learned, to theil great joy, that they had not only made up their shortage. but, by { l gain of 30 points in the thirty shot. of this stage, had established a com fortable lead of eleven points ovel
