In 1920-21 and 1921 22 Georgetown made a strong bid for the Inter-collegiate Champion ship fired under the aupices of the National Rifie Association. The prospects of achieving this ambition in the present season are much brighter than ever before. In IQ2O rifie shooting was introduced as a minor sport at Georgetown It got its start when the Georgetown Rifle Club was organized in the fall of 1920 under the direction of Major XVil1iam H. Hobson, U. S. A., com mandant of the Military Department at the University. Major Hobson en countered numerous difhculties in getting the club on a firm footing. Being a new sport at the University, there was no financial provision for it, and the common difficulties of securing adequate shooting equip-ment and a current supply of ammunition was laid before the student-body by the Hoya, wlnch was instrumental in securing both enthusiasm and tangible support for the yearling rifle club. VVhen first-class riHes and the best of ammunition were secured, and the old Sociability Hall was grown accustomed to the crack of firearms, the Club began to be recognized even outside' the limits of Geoifre town, and soon was on the way to shooting honors. At the present time the Rifie Club is self-supporting, paying its expenses out of the dues of S2 a yeai for membership. The Club has, from the beginning, been affiliated with the National Rifle Association. Membership in the Georgetown Rifle Club IS open to the entire student-body of all departments of the University. The Officers and non-commissioned officers of the Military of the Universitv offered their services at the time of organization of the Club, and have con tinued to furnish their services as instructors and official judges under the rules of the National Rifle Association. Sergeant Michael Donohue is the one man responsible for the successes of the Hilltop Rifle Team. VVorking intimately with the men, day in and dav out, with a spirit of love for Georgetown which corresponds with the spirit of patriotic valor which won him the Distinguished Service Cross in the Vlloild Wfar, Sergeant Donohue has, by his expert coaching and close knowledge of the game, his persistent and encouraging enthusiasm, knowledge of handling men, put the Georgetown Rifie Team at the top of the list where it stands today, the most promising of a handful of contenders for the Inter-collegiate Championship of the United States in the present season.
