DOES WELL
IN BIG RIFLE MATCH
University Team One of The Best
Competing in Second Corps Area

The National Inter- Collegiate indoor
rifle match was completed last week
by the University of Delaware rifle
team representing the Second Corps
Area and judging from the excellent
scores made by the team, Delaware
will stand high in the list of 81 col
leges and universities which competed
in the match, when the scores are all
computed.
Fifteen men shot on the Delaware
team, the ten highest scores to count.
These ten high scores totaled 1898
out of a possible 5000. This is con-
sidered exceptionally good and the
members of the team feel sure that
they will be high in the list. The
standing of the teams will not be
known for some days as the targets
are all sent to Washington for official
marking. What makes the work of
the locals all the more creditable is
the fact that the members of this team
have to use the single-loaded Win
chester rifle as it is the only one that
can be drawn from the government.
Most of the other teams competing
that have funds available for the sport
use rifles more finely constructed
especially for this kind of target work.
The scores made by the members of
the University of Delaware team out
of a possible 600 follows: Cook, 531;
Harper, 521; Boyce, sos; Woodrow
500; Keith, 497; Pierce, 491; Brown
4S9; Geoghegan, 4SS; Fletcher, 485
and Cooper, 483, whose scores count in
the match. The other five men who
shot were: Wade, 476; France, 45S;
Lynch, 451; R. Betty, AL and Wells
who did not finish.
The match started March Is ant
consisted of six stages prone ant
standing; prone and kneeling, ant
, prone and sitting. One stage wa
fired each week with the exception O.
Easter week. The last four stage
were made much more interesting fo
the contestants because Of the offer O
w. E. Brown, druggist, of a gol'
eversharp pencil as a prize for tn
best score. This was won by "Buddy
Harper with a score of 365 out of
possible 400 targets. Boyce was sec
r ond with 357.

TO OFFER DEMPSEY
FIGHT WITH WILLS
Bout May Be Held in Montreal
With $l50,OO0 for
Champion

When Heavyweight Champion Jack
Dempsey returns to America May 20,
he will be offered a bout with Harry
Wills, Negro challenger.
If the title-holder accepts, the con-
test probably will be staged in Mon
treal. Much, however, depends on
Dempsey's willingness to meet Wills
and his terms for such match.
Montreal is not expected to oppose
staging the bout there, according to a
statement last week by Frank Flour
noy, who is endeavoring to match the
heavyweights.
Flournoy, who crossed the border to
inspect several sites, asserted Mon
treal offered the most pleasing fight
ing ground. He added that he had
been assured there of cooperation in
his effort to stage the match.
Efforts to communicate with Demp.
sey by cable concerning the bout hav.
ing proved unsatisfactory, the pro.
moters decided to postpone action un.
, til the champion, who sails Saturday
from Southampton, reaches this coun
try. If Dempsey then agrees to sigr
for a reasonable sum, negotiations
will be opened with Wills and Mon
treal sportsmen.
Arrangements for the bout alst
would involve Jess Willard, forme,
champion, who has been tentativel,
promised another date with his con
queror in Jersey City during Septem
ber. If Dempsey agrees to NEE
Wills, the Kansas giant will be aske,
to begin active training at once t
meet the winner.
1t is said Dempsey will be offere
S150,000 for his end of the purse.
