giving the page a sym metrical appearance over five thousand college marks men is the record for the college 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 rapic strides are being made looking to the introduction of rifle shooting as one of the recognized sports in the colleges throughout the country and the movement has been still further stimulated by a recent act oi congress authorizing the free issue of rifles and ammuni tion to college and university rifle clubs this work was begun several years ago by the national rifle as sociation 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 noiw being carried on annually both indoor and outdoor the annual competition for college teams is now being or ganized for the indoor season these matches are shot on indoor ranges with 22-ealiber rifles the championship for 1914 was won by the michigan aggies and the out door championship was won by the massachusetts aggies . as an evidence of the fact that the athletic authorities of a great many colleges and universities are recognizing marksmanship as a part of their athletic curriculum many of them are giving the college let ter to those students who make the rifle teams a feature of this work which is worthy of mention is the fact that there have been no serious acci dents of any kind on rifle ranges since the work was introduced a claim that could hardly hold good in connection with other prominent school sports such as football and baseball furthermore only a small percentage of students can take part in baseball and football matches while the number of students who can enter the shooting competitions is only limited to the capacity of the range continued on second page in addition to competing against each other in rifle matches college clubs are given annually a medal for a members competition by the national rifle association decor ations are also presented to club members by the war department for qualifying as expert sharp shooter and marksman the col lege which made the best showing in the number of students qualified for the fiscal year ending june 30 1914 was cornell university the rifle club which made the best show allentcwn institution's team one of the best in years men fine condition the game with muhlenberg on saturday promises to be one of the hardest games on the brown and white schedule the muhlenberg team is stronger this year than the majority of people realize al though the games with perm state and rutgers both resulted in de feats for the allentown eleven the latter put up a good game consid ering the strength of her opponents muhlenberg does not entertain the slightest idea of defeat but in stead expects to furnish lehigh a big surprise if that team expects any but their hardest game of the season the muhlenberg team is in prime condition having come out of the hard game with the heavy rutgers team without a scratch there is strong fighting spirit in the team that promises a surprise simi lar to that evidenced in the games oi the past two years henninger the half-back who was injured in the opening game is again in the line-up and his return is expected to strengthen the muhlenberg scor ing machine the outlook for lehigh is not very encouraging owing to the prob ability of fred green ostrom and mattern not being able to play and the absence of frank green who was injured in the yale game the spirit of the lehigh team is rather crushed with the failure of more players to be off of probation and the fact that some of the men are playing on nerve alone coach keady has had the squad hard at work every day this week and expects to have a team on the field saturday that will fight for lehigh to the last minute muhlenberg has been re-inforced by a string of new men and the team is in excellent shape all of the men who were injured in the early part of the season being again in condition steele and henninger who were injured in the early sea son are again out and will proba bly start the game to-morrow enthusiasm runs high at muhlen berg and a big demonstration of it was given by the student body this last week the entire student body headed by the band marched around the field and cheered each player and banners bearing beat lehigh were displayed on the college build ings the probable line-up for lehigh will be : desmond left end good left tackle becker left guard scruggs center ostrom right guard richards right tackle sawtelle right end cahall quarter back f w green or maginnes left half back hoban right half back halsted full back the probable line-up for muh lenberg will be hubbard left end gay left tackle ritter left guard schwenk center roderick right guard brennan right tackle hayes right end steele quarter back getting left half back henninger right half back stipp full back in all probability there will be a picture taken of the student body on the field between the halves at the
