This year the club had to limit the membership to the capacity of the club range. The total number of students in the club now exceeds the fifty mark. The rifle team, which is completely new this year, should be given credit for its outstanding improvement during the league season. It started the season with a score of 589 out of a possible 800. and made a steady improve- ment to end the league season with a score of 691. Special mention should be given to Robert Brennen for shooting the highest score on the team 4178 out of 2005, and to Donald Brogen for taking third place among eighty con- testants in the prone position in the individual matches held at Washington University. The only member of the present team to be lost through graduation is James P. Hensen.

The next week our third league game, against Central, proved to be thrilling, and the scoring was equally divided between three members of the team-Don Koch, Jack Wuestling, and Bob Callahan-each with a total of 6 points. The final score ended with Beaumont in the lead, 26-18. Blewett was our next league opponent, and Beaumont won 31-13. The team showed its scoring punch and its tight defense, led to victory by the scoring of Jack Wuestling's 10 points. On January 21 Beaumont played Normandy, which was the last game for six members of the team. The new team was given a chance against Normandy, playing a great game and proving that they could take over the places of the six departing veterans. The game was hard-fought and close until the last three minutes of the play, when Beaumont forged ahead and won by the score of 34-26. High point man in his last game with Beaumont was Jack Wuestling, with the total of 10 points. Our next league game, against Roosevelt, was played Without Don Koch, Jack Wuestling, Forrest Damschroeder, Bob Calla- han, Charles Zurheide, and Bob Sonderman. all regulars on the team. Aggressive in play but unexperienced, the new members of the team were jittery at first but played hard and fast and came out ahead, 27-20, Jack Maguire as high point man contributing 9 points. Led by Art Saey's 13 points. Beaumont defeated McKinley 42-23. All members of the squad got a test in their first game of league play. A tight non-league game against S. S. Catholic at their court gave the team their first experience in playing against a new type of backboard, which hampered their offensive attack very much. With 10 points, Jack Maguire led the team to a 24-20 victory and was supported by the rest of the team in the scoring. The last game of league play was for the championship between Soldan and Beaumont. The game was very rough and exciting. each team having a close score.

The scoring in this period was started by Jack Maguire and followed by Ed Moreland, who gave Beau- mont a 4-point lead. Soldan then came back and tied the game as the overtime period ended.. The next overtime period was to end when the first two points were made by either team.
