ger is one of the outstanding ends in the Southwest. The
Aggie hustler has played both offense and defense and is
strongly considered as an All-SWC candidate.
Rifle Team Tops
Six of Seven Foes
The A&M rifle team has won six
of its last seven matches. They
won six of them by wide margins
and lost one to Michigan State by
a close six points. Their eighth
match Avas against Texas • last
night at 6.
Carl Schlinke, Ray Lyon, Owen
Hill, Leonard Bruce, Dwight Huff
man and Harry Gayden are the
team members who left yesterday
at 1 p. m. All the men who
were in the match last night are
capable of shooting 370 or 380
out of 400.
Close Match
T/Sergeant M. L. Oberste, coach
of the rifle team expected a tight
match but also thought they would
win by about 15 points. He based
his opinion on a report saying the
UT team had fallen off slightly - '
in their scores.
In a practice session Monday
night Avith the Engineering Corps
Rifle Team, Cai’l Schlinke fired
a 95 out of a possible 100 for the
highest indiA T idual score of the
year. The session started out to
be a match but only four team
members showed, consequently, it
was turned into practice.
Huffman, Gayden, Bruce and
Lyon ha\ 7 e all fired in the 380’s.
Therefore, Sgt. Oberste thought
they could have made a score of
18.75 against UT. He also said
it would probably take 1875 to
win.
A match in the Southwest Rifle
Association, of which A&M is a
member, consists of four divisions.
The four are prone, sitting, kneel
ing, and standing and each member
of each team fires all four divi
sions.
