Gzrls ' z e lub OBODY knows the troubles we've had-nobody knows but us! Girls C-an't shoot straight! They'll rui11 any good gun! Well not let them use our guns, said the riflemen of last year. Don't believe a word of that. They finally gave us their eonsent to use their guns, after a hard-fought battle for women's rights. It was worth the struggle as is any battle, if you win. We sincerely want to thank the boys for being so helpful and cooperative after the battle.

The boys, under the supervision of lifr. l.aeha.t, had a successful year. Their first match with the girls was lost, but their next, also with the girls, they won decisively. David Gordon, the president, and two other boys, Thomas Duffy and Clark Hawes, shot so well that they were promoted to the Yar- sity Rifle Club. Later, they helped to win some senior matches, eaeh shooting' possibles before the season was over. D. H. OPP.

To S amz y Ric lub y ' 'zf i ACK in tho dim, doad days of last Septombor, Doylostown's sporting population . began to notico tho doods of tho Doylostown High School Ritlo Club. For, although it was but thc beginning of their first full varsity season, tho boys wore alroady showing signs of futuro groatnoss. And whon tho ond of tho yoar rolled around, sport. fans had become so accustomed to tho vertical position that it camo to bo aocoptorl as a matter of course. For, during tho ontiro soason, only one team was able to outpoint thom. Upper Darby, the second host toam in tho llnitod States, managod to nose out tho local rangomon in two closo matchos. Porhaps tho ohiol' roason for this prowoss is tho toam's excellent equipment and range. Their lvinchostor 52 riflos, with Marble-Goss sights, thoir shooting jackets, slings, and mittons aro scarcoly rivallod by any othor toam. These articles woro bought by the club itself, 'without aid from any other sourco. Tho lingo amount of ammunition nooossary for practicing was also purchasod by tho niombers. Rifle is but a rocont adnition to thc Doylostown High School sports calendar. How- evcr, it, has alroacly rison to tho lovol of a varsitv sport, and worthy nlombors have rocoivcd rogular varsity D's. Rifle is tho only varsity sport in which individual prowoss is all-important. Led by Captain Edward Ferris, thc mcmbors showod a surprising amount of this individual talent. Bill Lo VVorthy, woll-known as tho toam's most efficiont trigrgor and penny SQllCC76l , led thc scoring with a match avorago of 97 ll 13. Next camo lloracc High with a 96 GX17, Clarke Hawos with a 9615, Dave Gordon with a 95 1011, 'llll0Ill3S Duffy 95 GX7, and Joe Levy 95 l3j'16. Tho coach, ltlr. Boshol, has oxprossod tho fooling that tho toam has more than livod up to cxpcctations. SCHEDITLE n. H. s. orr. n. H.

We are watching Doylestown High's battling pigskin carriers, practicing at the Com- munity Field. The coach, looking very dejected but hopeful, is whipping his recruits into what he hopes will be a championship team. SIGNALS, one, two, three, four, hip! is the familiar phrase issuing from the lips of The practice over, the busy managers gather up the equipment, get their orders for the next day, and leave for the locker room. Here, they patch up bruises, apply liniment, lock up, and leave for home. Meanwhile, the girls at the Burpee playground have been having a stirring hockey practice. Although the hockey games are not attended as well as the football games, they mean much to the girls, and the competition is keen. The girls practice as diligently as the boys, and they skirmish like soldiers in this, the sport of queens. The varsity girls have three major sports in which they may participate. They are hockey, tennis, and archery. They also play intramural basketball. Their athletic teams, including the girls' apparatus club, are coached by Miss Kelley. The boys of the senior high school have a, wider field in which to show their athletic prowess. They choose from the list of football, basketball, baseball, track, golf, and tennis. There is an intramural basketball league and an optional tennis tournament every year. There is also an apparatus club. These are under the supervision of Mr. Wolfe and the other coaches, Mr. Jones, Mr. Beshel, and Mr. Zahniser. The junior high boys have football, basketball, and baseball. These are under the sponsorship of Mr. George, Mr. Zahniser, and Mr. Sowers. They also have an intramural basketball league. A manager is selected for each sport. Each has an assistant who helps him or her and who is really serving an apprenticeship in hopes of becoming a manager the following year. Efficient managers are awarded a letter along with the qualifying players at the end of the season. The managers keep the playing grounds in condition, take care of the equipment, and help the coaches. The estimated annual expense of athletics in Doylestown High School is 332250. The annual receipts are about the same, and there is seldom a great profit or loss. Almost half of these expenditures and receipts are due to football, the greatest single contribution being the traditional Lansdale-Doylestown football game. It brings in almost one-half the total proceeds each year. Those wanting to see a quiet informal game which is uncoached, but none-the-less interesting, merely have to stop at the boys' entrance on any warm, bright day. On close examination, one will find it to be the fascinating game of marbles. 'The TORCH OF 1938 64
