eight buildings ready within six
weeks when steel for the structural
work is due to arrive. Pilings also

new HANDICAPPlNC
IDEA IN SHOOTING

Handicapping by distance, and the
classification of all trap-shooters. will
be based this year on a mans ability
to break 16-yard targets. In other
words. a man handicaps himself-al-
lots to himself the mark he shall
stand at in all handicaps. This is all
very plainly set forth in the 1921
Registered Trap-sh ooting" booklet
The system will naturally enough be
a fruitful topic of discussion where
two or more trap-shooters get togeth-
or. 1t may, and proba bly, will, come
in for some severe criticism at first,
like any radical change is subjected to
before it is thoroughly understood, and
its working has shown its benefits.
Space is too valuable to devote
much of 1t to a dissertation upon
matter which is so capably explained
in the booklet above mentioned, but a
few words to emphasize a point or two
seem adv'sa BILE. In the first place 1t
must be early understood that, while
the A. r. A. requires clubs to send in
complete data On all handicap events
shot at Registered Club Shoots, in
fact, on all Registered Targets shot at.
the handicap data is for record only
and is not considered when distance
handicaps are awarded, these being
based on 16-yard targets only.
Such being the case we know very
well that a mans first thought will

although they have not stepped into
the state limelight during this season.
The local legion team will be COM
posed of the same men who have been
putting up some high class scraps dur
ing the winter months against the best
independent teams of the country
O'Neal probably will be missing from
the lineup because Of an injury to
his knee which he received in a game
several weeks ago. Chappell or Eu-
banks will fill the vacancy and either
is capable of caging some neat shots.
Expect Local Victory.
Dopesters figure the Black and
White will add this game to their win
column if they continue the kind of
Rose City Independents. which proved
a walk away for the legion team.
The Fcrt Benjamin Harrison team
probably will load up for the game,
which will assure some lively compe-
tition. They have not announced
their lineup. as is customary. which
would rather lead to the belief that
they are coming prepared to take the
eX-soldiers into camp.
Practices have been held during the
past week to get the team in shape
to finish the season with a series of
wins. Coach Harrington announces
that he is satisfied with the improve
ments that have been made in the five
and says that they are able to give
any team good battle.
CenterviIIe in Curtain Raiser.
Brownsville high school and Center
Vile high school will play the curtain
raiser. This is expected to result in
a good game because of Brownsville
having won two out of three previous
games from Centerville. Centerville
will have the advantage of having
played here several times while the
Brownsville youngsters will be unfa
miliar with the floor.
Tickets for the game are so cents
No reserve seats will be sold. Doors
will open at p. m. and the prelimi'
nary game will start promptly at 1880
p. m.

be: Il can break ''em all right at 16
yards, but put me back and l won't
stand a show on EARTH" How does
he know that? Probably he is basing
his thought on what he has done in
the occasional handicap he has taken
part in during the past year or two.
If he will just think a moment he will
remember that he went into those
events with practically no preliminary
practice. The question as to the
amount a man has to lead a quarter
ing target from the back marks had to
be solved while in competition and
during that process some valuable tar
gets haxe. got away and chance of
finishing hear the top has been also
lost.
The new rule will, we believe, cause
gun club arrangements to schedule
regular practice events at distance
handicap, basing the rhandicaps allot-
ted according to the A. T. A. ruling.
With practice the old bugaboo of
those three, four or more yards back
of the 16-yard mark will soon begin
to lose its menace.
Fred Stone a Good Shot.
That Fred Stone, the actor, is one Of
the best all-round shots in the world
Is something the public at large does
not know but it is fact just the same.
Acting is a business with Stone. He
shoots for recreation. In every town
he shows, he is a visitor to the gun
club daily. In his show this year,
Tip Top" he does a shooting act,
using a Winchester '06 in shooting. at
clay targets tossed by an assistant.
These are tossed in hap hazard way
and difficult as the feat is Stone man
ages to break about eight out of ten.
Some 20 years ago Stone and Alec
Mermond engaged in 1,000-target
race in st. Louis, the shooting being
done with the thermometer below zero
and Stone won, breaking more than
900 targets.

With 10 men in school from which
to pick a basketball team that will
stack up with schools having an en-
rollment of many times that number,
has been the task of athletic officials
at Brownsville high school, which is
looked on with some nervousness by
entrants in the District High School
basketball tournament which will be
held in Richmond March 4 and 5.
The little high school in Union coun-
ty has been laboring under consider
able difficulty to turn out team at all
but the record hung up during the sea-
son shows that they are a bunch of
scrappers from beginning to end.
The team goes five miles to Liberty
to practice once week, the remainder
of their practice consists of shooting
at hoops on the side Of buildings and
throwing the ball around.
Several Wins.
In spite of this two wins have been
recorded over Centerville high school,
