Led by Co-Captains Ron Bernasconi and Ray Pohl, the Fordham University Rifle team sought to retain its Metropolitan Intercollegiate Rifle League crown, a title which they have held for the last three years.

The sharpshooters also fared well in the various matches in which they were entered, Last year they placed fifth in the National Matches, beating out both West Point and the Naval Academy. They also excell- ed in the St. John's Invitational Tournament. Besides the co-captains there are six other men on the roster: Frank Mellana, Pete Hardy, Charlie Smith, Carl Szuter, Don Moore and Joe Pianpiano. The team is coached by Sgt. John Blake and the moderator is Captain George D. Jackson. Rifle Teal!! lt's the form that counts.
