BY DON GHLIEs

When 800 finalists line up for
the William Randolph Hearst
Citizens Workmanship rifle COM
petition at the State Fair Grounds
in May, Detroit SportSmen's Con-
greSs markSmen from Mackenzie
High will make their presence
known.
Three months ago, when they
took up shooting, they knew little
or nothing about the principles OF
Workmanship. Under the COM
petent wing Of Sergeant Inman,
rife instructor at Mackenzie, the
four teams which make up this
group have shown remarkable inn
provement. To say that they will
win the most coveted prize in
Michigan craftsmanship competi-
ton - the William Rando p h
Hearst trophy - is probably an
overstatement, but don't be sur
priSed if they should come through
and take the handicap, an event
which carries the same kind of
trophy.
