T. C. team was ~ated as the third ranking team in the Eastern Section of the United States, which Included twelve states and more than eighty colleges Of the aggregate score of 919 out of a possible 1000, Captain Willey contributed 191, which, incidentally, placed him sixth in the individual high scorers of the section. The diminutive "Club" Bowman was second, scoring 189. The other members of the team were Pure, Woolley, and Delaney. These scores, compared with Army rating, entitled each man to the coveted Expert badge, a marked distinction on the Service. The second team, consisting of Otto, Junkin, Herbst, Myers, and Lantz, scored 877. but did not rank among the prize winners. Lacking the help of Willey, Woolley, and Bowman, the 1933 team, built around the nucleus of Delaney and Pure, and augmented by Sterling, Bryan. and Fleming, bids fair to gain another victory. An approximate scoring by the college authorities netted a score of 926, seven points higher than the 1932 score. Much credit is due the teams. The grueling periods of drill in learning the mechanics of rifle firing, the actual work in firing. and the interest displayed in striving for recogni- tion, were the parts played behind the scenes which enabled the squad to attain dis- tinction. Staff Sergeant Lavin was detailed as coach of the team. and he did an efficient piece of work Looking forward to another winning team next year, we consider the prospects very bright. The new men who have shown great promise of developing into outstanding shots are Leister, Stevenson, Sliker, Williams, Kiefer, and Stone. One HumJ.odNinel:;-Fio.
