if . .M YT The Brigade Rifle Team By Captain Harry L. Watson, Jr., H. S. C. MASTER SERGEANT TROMETRE, U. S. A. In Charge of Ordinance Equipment ' HE BRIGADE RIFLE TEAM is the only Cadet activity in which inter-school rivalry IS not aroused. As its name suggests, its Hfteen members are chosen from all five high Schools. Because of the fact that a large percentage of the boys on the school teams are Cadets, in most cases only those boys compete in the elimina- tions for the team. These would ultimately be the team members since this method does away with only those of little experience. Since the Brigade Rifle Team must look for its compe- tition from outside sources, it necessitates that each man must have spirit of cooperation and willingness to do the best that he can in spite of the fact that he is not in competition with, but shooting toward, a common goal with members of the rival school teams. In 1921 Mr. Walter Stokes first organized the team. For the first two years of its exist- ence, only outdoor matches were shot. After having practiced at Camp Simms, D. C. during the spring of 1921, a match was scheduled with the Naval Academy which the team lost by a mere twenty-eight points. During the summer. enough Cadets were at the National Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio, to form a team. This team finished third in its class, being topped by the Naval Academy and one other school. In 1923 outdoor shooting was suspended because of l83l repairs at the range. That was the last of the outdoor shooting. This year Major Maish, A. P. M. S. '25 T., in charge of the Brigade Rifle Team, has expressed his hopes of again taking up out-door shooting. The plan in view is to give the boys a chance at the United States Army Qualifications Course and, if possible, send another team to Camp Perry. In the meanwhile, however, the Brigade Rifle Team has not been idle. In 1923 the team was entered in the Third Corps Area Junior Gallery Championship Match and won the title. Winning first or second place in an area match gives the team so placing the privilege of enter- ing the National Match. Our team placed high that year and in the years that followed was well toward the top in the Third Corps Area Matches. Three years ago the team reached its peak. After having taken second in the Third Corps Area Match. it came through in the end to win first in the National, defeating representative teams from the other six Corps Areas and all the United States territorial possessions. Medals were presented to the team members at the Brigade formation after the Competitive Drill. The next two years saw the team place in the Area Match but not in the National. This year the team again placed second in the Area Match with a score of 7,335 out of a possible l0,000. Medals were awarded to the two highest scorers on the team at the close of the Regimental Drill. Oscar Siegel, Central High School, received a silver medal for having the highest score, while Robert Glass, Western High School, was presented with a bronze medal for being second. The targets have already been turned in for the National Match, but as yet the results are unknown. However, since the scores were much higher than those in the Third Corps Area Match. the team's hopes are high again this year. The team may not win, but it will take an out- standing team to beat it this year. The personnel of this year's team is as fol- lows: Central High School, J. C. Ludlum, O. Siegel, C. B. Potter, R. L. Fryer, A. M. Thomas, M. Kurland, H. L. Watson: Western High School, A. J. Campbell, R. P. Wilson, R. Glass, W. R. Collins, J. M. Kemper: Eastern High School, N. E. Sillings, L. Hayes. and R. Totten.
