Interscholastic Championship for 1912. 
The fourth annual competition for the Astor cup and 
the interscholastic rifle shooting championship of the 
United States gallery _ ranges was shot during the period 
of April 12 to 20. Eighteen teams competed, which was 
one less than last year. 
For the second consecutive year the match has been 
won by the same school, to wit, Iowa City (Iowa) High 
School. In the winning of the Astor cup for 1912 the 
rifle team of this school covered themselves with glory 
by putting up a score which far surpasses any previous 
record for gallery rifle shooting, both interscholastic and 
intercollegiate, and compares very favorably with the 
work of the expert civilian shooters. 
The excellent work of the five boys composing the 
team can be no better demonstrated than by stating 
that of the one hundred shots fired, eighty-two of them 
were in a space the size of a ten-cent piece, and all the 
shots fired, with the exception of two, would have hit 
a twenty-five cent piece. 
The total score made, 980 points of a possible 1,000— 
IS eight points better than the previous interscholastic 
record, and seven points better than the present inter¬ 
collegiate record now held by the Massachusetts Agri¬ 
cultural College. 
The Secretary of War, on hearing of this phenomenal 
shooting, at once sent the following telegram to the 
principal of the school: 
“Principal, Iowa City High School, Iowa City, la.: 
■•C 9 ngratulations to the rifle team of your school in 
winning the interscholastic rifle shooting championship 
of the United States for 1912 with a record score. 
“Your work represents a high class of patriotism and 
deserves the emulation of every high school in the land. 
“H. L. Stimson, Secretary of War.” 
The second highest team in the competition was the 
Deering High School, of Portland, Me., who made the 
very excellent score of 962. The third team was the St. 
John’s Military Academy, of Delafield, Wis., with 937, 
and the fourth, the Alorris High School, of New York 
city, with 934. 
A ratlier melancholy feature of the competition was 
the fact that tne cup that was being competed for was 
presented by Colonel John Jacob Astor, who went down 
on the Titanic. 
The conditions governing the competition and the 
scores in detail for the first three teams and in total 
for the balance of the teams firing are as follow’s:
