Cooley tCoachl. ,Johnson McLeish, M. On March 20th the firing was completed for the entry of the Academy team in the Hearst Trophy Matches. Firing on the five man team for this competition were Moody, Andrews, Hackney, Noel, and Hausman. These five scored 823 points out of a possible 1,000 and placed eighth. Something new for the rifle teams on the Academy was the shoulder to shoulder match fired on the Academy range on the morning of March oth. The contest was a quadruple match between two teams entered from the R. O. T. C. unit of Hillsborough High, the team from Plant High, and the F. M. A. group. Plant emerged the winner with a score of l523, and 1492 for the Academy, and l479 and 1472 for the two teams from Hillsborough. With the changes made in the indoor rifle range, and with the personal interest and assistance of Major Bertschey, plans are now being laid for a successful rifle season next year. V Cadets of the Junior School fired on the range several times during the year, but did not engage in any competitive firing with other teams. Many of the Cadets won official National Rifle Associations for making certain scores on the range. Those having consistently high scores during the year were Johnson, Leonard, Samuels, McLeish Vinent, W. H., Fowler, Korabeck, Roberts, Siques, and Julian. Page 103
