The boys who are practicing with the army Springflolds at tho poBt in preparation prepara-tion for tho Camp Perry national match the latter part of August cortalnly had eagle eyes Saturday morning, when some high scores were made. In spite of tho fact that a stiff wind prevailed continually contin-ually tho Bcoros were good and the team average was pleasing to Coach Walthall. Tho wind .in tho early morning, when the 200 slow flro was- being hold, was so strong at times that the men on tho firing linos were blown off their balance. At tho Blow fire at 600 yards the wind wns changeable, and kept' the men guessing guess-ing to get tho correct windago. Nevertheless Never-theless the team average was over tho 40 mark. Although some of tho boys fell down on the skirmish fire, their holding hold-ing was good as thoir shots could be covorcd by one hand. Tho men in general aro Improving on the skirmish, the majority ma-jority of shots being low. The elimination, which has been on sinco Thursday, ended with Saturday's shooting, but as yet the coach has not announced tho fifteen men who will make the trip. But one man is to be eliminated and It will not necessarily be the low man.

Although the team has boon shooting for the past week, some mcmbors of the team are forced to loose a great deal nt each practice owing to tho fact that there is not sufficient help for pit work.
