Over five thousand college
marksmen is the record for the col
lege year ending June 30th, 1914.
Through the combined efforts of
the National Rifle Association of
America and the National Board
for the Promotion of Rifle Prac
tice, rapid strides are being made
looking to the introduction of rifle
shooting as one of the recognized
sports m the colleges throughout
the country and the movement has
been still further stimulated by a
recent act of Congress authorizing
the free issue of rifles and ammu
nition to college and university
rifle clubs.'
This work was begun several
years ago by the National Rifle
Association backed by the War De
partment, with a result that at the
present time there are 42 colleges
and universities having well organ
ized and active rifle clubs. Nation
al championships are now being
carried on annually both indooi
and outdoor. The annual compe
tition for college teams is now be--
ing organized for the indoor sea
son. These matches are shot on
indoor ranges with 22-caliber rifles.
The championship for 1914 was
won by the Michigan “Aggies” and
the outdoor championship was won
by the Massacheusetts “Aggies.”
