Nation&l Shooting Competition for Military 
Schools. 
The first inter-school competition among the mili¬ 
tary schools of the United States for the new national 
trophy, presented by the National Board for Promotion 
•of Rifle Practice, was a success in some ways, but the fact 
that there w'ere only sixteen entries from the 115 military 
schools in the United States was not encouraging. In¬ 
terest was at first somewhat halting owing to a bad 
start and to the fact that two clubs, the Girard College 
Rifle Club, and the Missouri Military Academy did not 
shoot their matches at all, and the Miami Military Insti¬ 
tute and New York Military Academy did not make 
prompt report of their first few matches. 
In the 1913 matches the following sixteen schools 
were represented: Wentw'orth Military Academy, of Lex¬ 
ington, Mo.; St. John’s Military Academy, Delafield, 
Wis.; Culver Military Academy, Culver, Ind.; Borden- 
town, N. J., Military Institute; St. John’s School, Man¬ 
lius, N. Y.; Miami Military Institute, Germantown, O.; 
New Mexico Military Institute, Roswell, N. M.; New 
York Military Academy, Cornwall-on-Hudson; Kemper 
Military School, Boonville, Mo.; Harvard Military School, 
Los Angeles, Cal.; Hitchcock Military Academy, San 
Rafael, Cal.; Missouri Military Academy, Mexico, Mo.; 
Randolph Military Academy, Moristown, N. J.; Nazareth 
Hall Military Academy, Nazareth, Pa.; Kentucky Mili¬ 
tary Institute, Lyndon, Ky.; and Girard College Rifle 
Club, Philadelphia, Pa. 
As it would have made too long a schedule to have 
all of the clubs in one league, they were divided into 
two leagues of eight clubs each. The matches began 
the week ending Jan. 18, and closed the week ending 
March 1. The standing of the clubs in the Eastern 
League at the close of the matches was: 
Won. Lost. 
Bordentown Military Institute. 7 0 
St. John’s School . 6 1 
New' Mexico Military Institute. 5 2 
New York Military Academy. 4 3 
Randolph Military Academy. 2 5 
Nazareth Hall Military Academy. 2 5 
Miami Military Institute dropped, and Girard College 
aid not shoot. 
In the Western League the results were: 
Won. Lost. 
Wentworth Military Academy...... G 1 
St. John’s Military Academy. 6 1 
Culver Military Institute . 5 2 
Harvard Military Academy. 5 2 
Hitchcock Military Academy. 3 4 
Kemper Military School . 2 5 
Kentucky Military Academy. 1 6 
Missouri Military Academy did not shoot. 
Wentworth and St. John’s military academies having 
tied, it became necessary for them to shoot off for first 
place in the Western League. The result of this shoot-off 
■was as follows: Wntworth 927, St. John’s 896. As a result 
of this shoot-off, Wentworth shot off for the United 
States championship with the Bordentown Military In¬ 
stitute, the winner of the Eastern League. This shoot-off 
resulted in a very close finish between the two schools, 
with the following result: 
Bordentown M. A. 
M C Robinson.. 185 
H Hohlweg.185 
J Le R Sadlier... 185 
S R Day. 183 
F K Iszard. 184— 922 
Wentworth M. A. 
R C Goldsberry.. 191 
R N Strickland.. 185 
B C Cook. 182 
C H Slusher. 182 
A Lill . 180— 920 
The best team score w’as 930, by Culver Military Acad- 
emy against Wentw'orth Military Academy. The average 
score per match for all the teams was as follows: Went¬ 
worth 910.2, St. John’s 901.4, Culver 896.2, Bordentown 
885.2, St. John’s School 878.4, Miami 849.5, New Mexico 
830.8; New York 828, Kemper 811.7, Harvard 798.2, Hitch¬ 
cock 787.8, Missouri 701.2, Randolph 651.7, Nazareth Hall 
589.4. The Kentucky Military Institute shot in only five 
m.atche.s, and the Girard College and Missouri Military 
Institute in none. 
In the 1914 matches the above ten or twelve club-s 
(according to the number of entries received), having 
the highest average, will be put in Class A. Another 
change contemplated for the 1914 matches is rearranging 
the prizes so that the winning team in each class will 
receive medals representing the championship of that 
class. 
Some of the boys did very consistent shooting 
throughout the league matches. The following are the 
ten boys who shot and made the team for every match 
and their average: O. R. Rosaaen, St. John’s M. A., 187.7; 
F. Kasten, Jr., Culver, 184; W. W. Ashurst, VVentworth, 
182.2; Wm. Ingalls, Culver, 181.4; R. N. Strickland, 
Wentworth, 180.7; R. C. Goldsbery, Wentworth, 180.7; 
F. K. Iszard, Bordentown, 180.5; R. Latham, St. John’s 
School, 179.8; H. Scowcroft, St. John’s M. A., 178; M. R. 
Cardenas, St. John’s School, 177.
