L eff? -vi BRIGADE RIFLE TEAM By CAPTAIN HAL B. CLAGETT, JR., H. S. C. WELVE YEARS AGO the Brigade Rifie Team was first organized by Mr. Walter Stokes. whose primary purpose for the formation of such an activity was the promotion of some united High School Cadet interest in which no inter-school rivalry was to be aroused. This, we are proud to say, has remained the principal object in the selection of all subsequent teams representing the High School Cadet Brigade of Washington. D. C. During the first two years of its existence only outdoor matches were shot. The first of these was a shoulder-to-shoulder engagement with the Naval Academy, which the team lost by the close margin of twenty-eight points. Later in the same year the Cadets entered the National Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio, and managed to capture third place in their class. In 1923 out- door shooting was suspended, and has not since been resumed. However, the team has grown and developed as one of the best Gallery Rifle or- ganizations of its kind in the country. In 1923 the team was first entered in the Third Corps Area Gallery Championship Match which it succeeded in winning. This gave it the privilege of entering the National Matches in which it did exceedingly well. This year, 1933, the team reached the peak of its achievements when it succeeded in winning the Third Corps Area Gallery Championship for the third consecutive time. This entitles the team to permanent possession of the Third Corps Area Silver Loving Cup which it has long cov- eted. The ten high scorers will receive, more- over, individual medals. The last string targets for the National Match, in which there are four strings, have been shot by each member of the team and sent in April 13. These include targets from: H. B. Clagett. D. Wallace, J. R. Egan, R. B. Hubbell, and J. Harlan from Westerng D. H. McGarity, R. Davis, T. W. Riley, and M. D. Waite from Central: W. C. Jensen, E. L. Staubus, W. H. Bailey, and R. A. Woodward from McKinley, E. Smolinsky, and S. Clements from Eastern. The Brigade Rifle Team Thirty-three ff
