ASE
firing! Unload! Move forward! This is a familiar
command to over seventy women who practiced at the
rifle range this fall. The practice season started
December 2, 1925, and fifty-five women were eligible
for the class tournament the last week in January. The
Sophomores won the match with an average score of 47
out of a possible 50.
This season's
interest in Rifle Marksmanship has exceeded that of
any other year and has developed many accurate shots
among the women. A picked team firing in prone,
sitting, kneeling, and standing won an unofficial
match from the men's team.
Intercollegiate
matches were fired with almost every state in the
union and with Hawaii. All matches were fired in prone
position only. As is the practice in other W. A. A.
sports a permanent team was not chosen until the end
of the season which closed April 3, 1926, with an
intercollegiate tournament, the first of its kind.
Two temporary teams
of ten women each, fired each week, the high ten
scores counting in the matches. Edith Gran served as
captain of the Scarlet Team, and Bernice Moore of the
Cream Team. The interest and co-operation of the
Military Department aided very materially in making
the season a success. Lucile Bauer was manager of this
sport, and filled her position well.
