team at Madison Square Garden. This year the tables 
were turned and New York copped the kale. Ten men 
from each city shot, five high scores on each side to 
count. And of these counters, four 95s and one 91 
were made by New York, against two 94s, two 91 and 
an 87 for Quakerville. The match was at 100 rocks per 
man, and the finals showed New York 469, Philadelphia 
457.

Spotts and Burns recording them. The indoor light 
affected badly the scores of crack aerosaucer extermin¬ 
ators from each city, but the general average was excel¬ 
lent. Scores:

High School League. 
Washington, D. C., Feb. 24.—The scores of the High 
School Rifle Shooting League for the national trophy for 
the week ending Feb. 22 show considerable improve¬ 
ment, but few changes among the leaders. This is the 
seventh match in the League series, and in Class A the 
fight seems to have narrowed down between the Iowa 
City High School, and the Deering High School, of 
Portland, Me., with Morris High School, of New York 
City close behind. In Class B, the team of the Salt 
Lake City High School seems to have things their own 
way with seven straight wins. They are closely followed 
by the Susquehanna, Pa., High School boys. The re¬ 
sults of last week’s match follow; 
Class A.—Iowa City defeated Western of Washing¬ 
ton, D. C., 964 to 773; Stuyvesant of New York City

Iowa City High School rifle team by winning the 
match last week from the Deering High School, of 
Portland, Me., with the phenomenal score of 875, prac¬ 
tically assures that school of first place in Class A. In 
Class B, the Salt Lake City High School team seems 
certain to win, as they have scored eight straight vic¬ 
tories. Consequently Iowa City and Salt Lake City will 
shoot off for the national high school rifle shooting 
championship. The scores in the eighth match of the 
series follow: 
Class A.—Iowa City 975 vs. Deering 973; Baltimore 
Polytechnic 878, vs. Western High of Washington, D. C.,
