RIFLE TEAM STARTS WORK WITH MEETING TONIGHT

All candidates for the University rifle team will meet in Claverly 50 tonight at 7 o'clock. the plan this year is to have in general fewer matches and thus improve the scores. Last season there was at least one and frequently there were two each week, and consequently the men w ere not at their best each time. The cause of this w as membership in includes all the colleges which have teams in the field. They are divided in to several classes, according to a standard determined from their ability shown in previous years. The University team when first organized was not a first-rate team, and as result was put in class C where it has remained since. Last year they were second in this class, losing first place only through a very poor score made in the initial match before the team was fairly on its feet.

The disadvantage of continuing in this league is that Princeton, Yale and Cornell are not in class C. They are the ones with whom it is most interesting to compete and therefore the management has decided to desert the league. By shooting less matches it is expected that the care and interest and thus the score of the individual match will be increased. To accomplish this it is essential that many candidates report for the team. Ten men shoot every match and the best five scores only are sent in to the referee.
