UNIVERSITY r. o. r. c. TO
HAVE GIRLS RIFLE TEAM
Plans Made by Captain ]. p. Lake
Meet Approval of Miss Eva
Johnston.

Captain John p. Lake of the Uni
versity r. o. T. c. has made arrange
ments Tor girls rifle team of the Uni
versity of Missouri. All he needs now
rs sufficient interest among the girls OF
The University TO bring a good number Of
them out for the team. He says he has
the names of about twenty girls that
have already requested chance to prac.
tice for such a team.
At present there are several uniyers-
tiles supporting girls rifle teams. Among
them are the University of Illinois. Uni.
yersity of Southern California. North
western University. University of Oregon.
and the University of Pennsylvania. Cap
tain Lakes plan is TO organize and train
a girls team here and fire competitive
matches with these other teams. There
are several girls in the University here
who are expert shots and many more
that would be with little training.
The girls team here will be under the
University r. o. T. c. and will receive
the same instructions and training as the
boys team.
One Of Captain Lakes plans is to have
girls enter from each of the sorofities
and wOmen's organizations on the cam
pus and possibly have inter-sorority
matches to arouse interest The girls
would also probably fire matches with
the mems team here after having had
sufficient training. The practice and fir
ing will be on the indoor rifle range
in Jesse Hall and the girls will go in
classes at certain hours so as not to be
there when the men are there. The reg
ulation Winchester target rifle will be
used, firing a % caliber bullet. Per
haps after good weather sets in some of
the girls would like TO fire on the open
range with the regulation army Spring
field rife. One Of the highest scores
in the National Sharpshooier's Associa-
tion meet last year was made by an
l8-year-old girl using the regulation
Springfield rifle.
All material and equipment will be
furnished by the Il. o. T. c. and there
will be absolutely no expenses to the
girls. The plan has tie approval Of Col.
W. E. Persons. and of Miss Eva John
sion. adviser of University women.
