PISTOL TEAM 252' ,I Season of 1922 Another new sport has been started at Boston University which requires an eagle eye 3 and steady hand. listol shooting is popular at the University as shown by the large number who tried out for the team. With the keen competition that resulted, the survival of the fittest left eighteen, the majority of whon1 are trained ex-service men holding expert pistoln rating in the army or in the marines. One of the principal assets is the co-operation and backing of the Military Department Major llaade has always been one of the most active promoters of ll.U. sports, and with the invaluable aid of Captain Davis, tl1e coach, who is an expert shot and instructor, the team has made wonderful progress. Walter H. Perry of Marlboro was elected manager in February, and Elliott C. Paul captain of last year's rifie team, was elected captain. Both of these men are veterans of the lfVorld War and have had much experience with the pistol. The team has tl1e use of both an indoor and outdoor range, with diversified training as a result. The matches include slow and rapid fire and from distances of fifteen yards to fifty. The principal arm used is the U.S. Army .45 calibre Pistol, IQII model, but with some few matches different target pistols and revolvers of smaller calibre are used. Despite attacks against The Deadly Pistoll' it is our belief that proper training leads toward safety and caution. If the right people are trained in the use of firearms, there is little danger towards its reckless use by others. Boston University is a pioneer in this field but we will look for a general widespread interest in this sport among the colleges and uni versities in the near future.
