Greenbelt Gun Clubs first indoor ri fle match
OF the fall will be held at the Hyattsville
Guard Armory Monday nj ght, November L, when
local club meets the U. S. Aggies team in a three
posi ton match.
Representing Greenbelt in th match wi IL be Mark
GSalvo, Harry Bates, Harry Hesse, Don Kern, Lyman
Woodman, Clarence Wills, and Ben Rosenzweig. The
eighth competi tor had not been announced when the
per went to press. Eight shooters fire each side
and the four hi CHEST scores count team score.
This November match is rather unusual a in
terclub activity in view Of the fact that four
bers of the Greenbelt Gun Club belong also to the
Aggies organization non the slider. 1t is reported
that several months ago, the Aggies (then known
the Beltsvle Research Center Rifle Club) suggested
that the two clubs merge. Our shooters declined,
however, in favor Of remaining independent group
to continue operating Greenbelt target range.
Although the clubs such, did not reorganize into
consolidated unit, several local Joined the
Aggies individuals and Bates, Boggs Kern and
Wooan belong to the Aggies and the Greenbel clubs
stimuli taneously.
1t agreed time ago, however, that When
the two organizati competed wi tn each other,
the Greenbelt would remain the Greenbel side
of the fence and do their best to bring the bacon
back to this commlni ty.
