COYOTEHUNTER SHARPENS HIS EYE
After Pointers in Times Rifle Tournament
BY Don GILES

Coyote Hunter Jim Edgell. just
back from the Upper Peninsula
where he spent three weeks in
Ontonagon County thinks The De-
troit Times-HcarSt Rife matches
are just the thing for thousands
Of hunters.
I'm considered n fair shot
myself when IL comes To getting
a deer or one Of those pesky
coyotes, wildcats or other
predatOrs that prey on our
game" Edgell said as he filled
out a registration blank for The
Detroit Times Rife School and
Range at 400 West Garfield.
"A good shot I'm the woods,
and good shot on targets Is
two different things. I'm enter
ing the Times shoot TO get more
practice. know Ii will help
me when l go back north for
more coyotes.
Can Use Training
81 am ready To defend my
country and I figure I can use
n little extra rife training. I'll
go anywhere they send me,
preferably up In the snow-bOund
country of northern Michigan,
especially where there il plenty
Of cold weather. The colder the
better for me.
Speaking of deer hunters"
EdCell said. 81 think these boys
scOuld learn IA great deal by
entering The Detroit Times rifle
school and the Hearst trophy
matches. Last deer season l
took two fellows up in the Por-
cupine mountains and got them
easy standing shots at beautiful
bucks. DO you know what hap
pened: They both missed. They
got excited and instead of
squeezing the trigger, like YOU
teach here In the rifle school,
they jerked il so hard, ii pulled
the barrel of the mark and their
shots went wide.
eff they had aVailed them
selves of this free rifle training,
I am confident ii would have
been n different story.
Practice with % caliber
rife Is excellent training. In
most regular army posts the re-
cruit learns To employ the 22

United Nations forces fought re.

As the Navy Department dis
closed new Japanese landings in
the Solomons under the guns OF
Nipponese warships and the Ger.
man armies in South Russia
launched tremendous assaults
against the Soviet lines, the Paris
radio reported that Nazi Field
Marshal Erwin Rommcl had ar
rived In the North African desert
to resume command OF his armies.
Washington reports indicated
that the japanese, who put ashore
considerable reinforcement on
Guadalcanal Island after naval
bombardment OF American posi-
tions, apparently were making the

the bases lost to t. S. Marine and
Naval forces early In August.

that the new offensive following

evidence that the Japanese were
prepared to suffer heavy losses IN

The German assaults IN the eau.
casus were being made with great
strength. Tanks. bombers, dive
bombers and strafing planes were
thrown against the Russian lines
in what many observers regarded
as a final Axis effort TO win vic
tory before the bitter winter closes
in.

the fury OF the enemy offensive,
said that all attacks had been re-
pulsed But an earlier dispatch
admitted that the Nazis. In heavy
