1Z!f1e Team Rifle Team has completed a most successful considering the adverse conditions under which it was working. The team had practically no coaching except by the more experienced marksmen. This lack of coaching was not due to the laxity of any officials, but to the extra work upon them, making it nearly impossible to give their time to the team. Taking the lack of practice and coaching into consideration, the Rifle Team has done its part toward upholding the honor of Western Maryland, having won fifty per cent of the matches scheduled with sixty three colleges and universities of every state in the Union. Starting with some of the best teams of the country is very creditable and the team should be supported with the same pep and enthusiasm as those of any other sports, minor as well as major, at Western Maryland College. Letters were awarded to the members of the rifle squad having fired in seventy-five per cent of the total number of matches, or having shot among the five high in two thirds of the total number of matches.
