TRAPSHOOTERS
OF ARIZONA; HE
SAYS, ARE GOOD

Arizona trapshooters get neat
compliment from James M Robinson,
statiStician of the Amateur TrapShoot-
ing Association of America, in a recent
statement he issued concerning the
records Of some of the outstanding
characters among the Arizona trap
shooters. He admits they are good
and he has. been spreading the good
news to other fields in a story which
he has broadcasted. Here is the story
which is quoted, being in Robinson's
own words:
"Out Arizona way they claim that
George Peter is the greatest target
smasller in the world. We think he is
che OF the greatest ourselves. Peter,
who makes his home in Phoenix out
classes the Arizona trapshooting field
this season, and let it be known some
great gunnerS live in this state. George
had little opposition in the state high
average race this year. He averaged
9815 on 3575 targets which is one OF
the greatest averages ever compiled on
this number of clays. Phoenix new5-
papers consider it O news item when
he misses a target. The great gun
ner copped five trapshooting titles this
season. The state championship which
he won with score of 1919 out of 200,
the handicap title, the state all-around
championship, the state singles high
average and the state doubles high
average. A great year it has been for
the modest little Phoenix trapshoot-
ing wonder.
"Other Arizona gunners have turned
in some fine averages There's Frank
Free, Phoenix, who finished the seasor.
with an average of 1888 on 2100 tar
gets. He turned in some excellent
scores. j. r. Truman, Phoenix, is
third on the high average roll. On
his hits and misses for the season he
averaged .95o6. The great Tom Edens,
Phoenix, did not go as good as he
usually does but nevertheless averaged
9460 on 115O clays. Edens is nat
uraI 81 per cent gunner and will un-
doubtedly, stage comeoack next year.
c. E. Gillian, Flagstaff, experienced
his greatest year at the traps. This
midget gunner averaged .9423. r. T..

Terms Of Gift Outlined.

The terms of the generous gift set
forth. Bishop Freeman said, the aims
of the College of Preachers as follows
III the language of the donor: The
supreme end and purpose of the
Christian religion is the enfranchise-
ment and enrichment of the human
soul. To interpret to men the mind
of the Master: to give them an under
standing of the deep and satisfying
values of life; to teach them to rightly
employ the means necessary to saliva
ton is the high and holy privilege of
the Christian ministry. To this end
the college is founded in the sure con-
fidence that the bulwark and sustain
ing strength of the Nation is in an
abiding and unchanging practice of
the Christian religion.
The college is designed to give to its
students comprehensive and broa dly
Catholic vision of the history and unity
of the Christian Church since its in
ception. 1t will lay unfailing empha-
sis on those central and eternal teach
ings of the Master which secure to the
Christian ministry it's power and use
fulness-through its sacramental office
in the priesthood; through its edifying
and inspirational office in the prophet
hood, and through its comforting and
consoling Office in the pastorhood"
The present objective OF the nation
wide campaign for Washington Cathe-
dral is the raising of $6,S00.00 needed
to complete the choir, crossing, north
and south transepts and north porch.
The apse and three crypt chapels are
now Structurally complete, the mas.
sive foundations of the whole struc-
ture have been laid. and work is well
advanced on the choir walls and the
piers Of the crossing. More than 225,.
poo visitors and worshipers now visit
the Cathedral annually, it was stated.
The architectural design is four.
teenth century Gothic-the first cathe
dral of such size to be attempted in
this style since the fourteenth century.
Although not the largest. it will be
one of the great cathedrals of the
world, affording seats for nearly 1900
and standing room for $4,000 people.
