GUARD TEAMS
ENTER HEARST
RIFLE SHOOT
By 1T. COL. JESS KRUGER

By 1T. COL. JESS KRUGER
CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-(US)-
Maj. Gen. George E. Leach, chief
Of the National Guard Bureau
Of the War Department, an
rlounced today the entry Of Ma,
tional Guardsmen in the annual
William Randolph Hearst trophy
matches.
The competition in the Ma
tional Guard is distinct from the
r. o. T. c. matches in educa-
tional institutions, which have
been conducted for 13 years.
They differ from the individual
target matches between school
cadets in that the guardsmen
participate in mass firing at
landscape targets.
The National Guard match will
include IS regiments of infantry
composed of $4,000 men who will
participate. Within each regi-
ment every rifle company will en-
ter a combat squad and the com.
petition will be between these
SQUADS in the regiment. The
preparation of the exercise, con-
duct of the shoot, and the desig-
naticn of the winning team will
be prescribed by the regimental
commander.
Teams to Compete
The national contest will then
be between the winning teams OF
the different regiments. It will
be conducted after the regi-
mental competition has been con-
cluded, but in time to close by
March 81, 1885.
The exercises for the national
match will be prepared by the
chief of infantry of the United
States Army and distributed
through the State adjutants gen.
eral to each infantry regiment.
The State adjutant general will
designate a disinterested officer
to conduct the exercise for the
competing combat group or groups
within his State. The final
records will be scored under the
direction Of the chief of the Ma
tional Guard Bureau in Washing
ton, who will announce the re-
suits Of the competition.
A trophy, to be known as the
William Randolph Hearst Mus
kerry Trophy, will be awarded to
the regiment whose team wins
the national match. The trophy
will remain in possession Of the
regiment until it is won by an
other regiment. Each member Of
the national championship team
will receive a gold medal while
the regimental teams will be given
bronze medals.
Letter to Mr.. Hearst
In a letter to Mr.. Hearst, Gen.
eral Leach said:
'T hereby accept your spOn-
sOrShip of a musketry cOmpeti-
tion for the National Guard Of
the United States and extend
to you my thanks on behalf Of
the National Guard and appre-
citation Of your support in this
very important phase Of train
ing our soldiers for effective
service.
"The competition has the
approval Of the War Depart
ment and the chief Of infantry
has offered his assistance and
cooperation in conducting the
matches so as to be Of greatest
value to the service.
"This competition is cOnsid-
cred especially valuable in that
1t stimulates interest and prac-
tice in target designation, fire
control, fire direction and
stimulates the conditions under
which rifle fire must be handled
In combat for effectiveness"
Official orders on the competi-
tion have been received by every
infantry regiment Of the State

.Croasdale Home
From jacksonville
Tells Floridians 1t Looks
Like a Boom" Year

Robert E. Croasdale, Hender-
sonville produce dealer, is firm
believer in the value of advertis-
ing this section in Florida, and,
on a recent visit to his sons at
Jacksonville, he was interviewed
by the Times-Union on the mu-
tual interests of Florida and Hen
Jacksonville.
In Jacksonville, he visited his
two sons, R. L. Croasdale of the
county engineering department,
and Rex Croasdale of the Jack
sonville chamber of commerce.
He was joined there by his eldest
son, Robert j. Croasdale, of New
York.
The interview published was as
follows:
"There is a close community of
interests between Hendersonville
and Jacksonville, and a list of
our summertime residents reads
like an abstract from the Jack
sonville directory"
The southwark movement of
tourists through Hendersonville
has set in much earlier this year,
Mr.. Croasdale stated, and gives
every indication of developing a
flood-like tide which should reach
boom proportions.
Mr.. Croasdale Is the owner-op-
orator of the Florida Fruit Co.,
in the North Carolina resort, and
in consequence receives many in
quiries regarding this peninsula
from southbound travellers.

on the little building. Floyd at
tempted to flee toward the woods
He had an automatic pistol in one
hand, but he didn't pause to use
it.
Then the federal agents, all
dead shots, opened fire and Floyd
fell. He was barely conscious by
the time agents reached his side
and died a few minutes later.
Officers found a second auto
matte and about $120 in cash on
his person. His blue serge suit
and dark overcoat were riddled
by bullets. Blood poured from a
dozen wounds. One shot, enter
ing the left side and emerging on
the right, apparently caused his
death.
Purvis said Floyd was shot at
4 10 p. m. and died at 4:25. He
said the belief of Mrs. Conkle
and her relatives that Floyd fired
two shots was wrong. Both his
guns were full.
Purvis also believed a report
Yesterday that Floyd was shot
through the body in his clash with
Wellsville, o., police was not cor
rect. If the Wellsville police hit
FLOYD at all it was no more than
a scratch, he believed.
The tip that Floyd was near
the Conkle farm came from Rob
ert Robson, a farmer on route !
out of East Liverpool. Floyd
stopped at Robison's house for
breakfast and Robson, who had
seen the bandits picture, tele-
phoned Purvis.
"The death of Floyd" Purvis
told newspapermen, "brings to a
close many months of investi ga
ton by the department of justice.

ious to end Floyd because Floyd

ERWIN CHOICE HERE
FOR SCHOOL HEAD
Continued from page one)

ization of the school people. Err
win was president of the associa-
ton during the 1928 terms, and
Phillips is the incumbent.
Another pos 81 b lie candidate,
some think. is DR.. J. Henry High
smith, state supervisor of high
schools. He has been with the
state department of education for
many years in his present capa-
city, and more than any one else,
save perhaps DR.. Allen himself,
has shaped the courses of study
and school policies over the per-
iod of the past several years. At
the present time he has virtual
charge of reorganizating the cur
riculum of the state course of
study. The governor is vitality in
terested in this reorganization, and
it was at his instigation that the
movement of rebuilding the curri-
culum was started. This may put
DR.. Highsmith in a strategic posi-
tion for the appointment.
Last spring when there was
talk of making DR.. Allen president
of Eastern Carolina Teachers
Training school, the names of both
the Greensboro superintendent
and the head of the Rutherford
county schools were mentioned
1t is well known that there was no
objection to this move among the
teaching forces. Either man, it
is believed, would be acceptable to
the school people.
Clyde Erwin is 81 years old,
and has been connected with
school work continuously since
finishing college. He began his
teaching as superintendent of the
Huntersville schol in Mecklenburg
county in 1918. After two years
in this position, he went to Cliff
side as superintendent and re-
manned there five years. Since
1925 he has been head of the
Rutherford county schools, and
has made, what his friends claim,
an enviable record as an organizer
and supervisor of that county's
schools and teachers.
Guy Phillips is 43 years old,
and began his teaching in 1913 as
a classroom instructor in Raleigh.
He was for five years superinten-
dent of the small school system at
Oxford, and went from there to
Greensboro, where he was princi-
pal of the city high school for
four years. After that he was for
five years superintendent of the
Salisbury city schools. When Fred
Archer resigned as head of
Greensboro schools, the school
board went to Salisbury and got
their former high school principal
to succeed Superintendent Archer.
Phillips has been head of the
Greensboro system for the past
six years.
Among the teachers of the
state, Superintendent Phillips is
best known for his work. on the
public relations committee of the
Education association and for his
efforts in organizing suitable
state program of athletics and
physical. education for girls. He
has been active in the work of the
national education. He was ed
ucated at the University of North
Carolina and at Columbia. He is
a native of Guilford county.
