The schoolboy marksmen of the United States will 
have their innings during the week of April 11 to 16, 
when the second contest for the Astor cup, which rep¬ 
resents the school championship of the country, for the 
year, will be shot. The event is open to all schools 
public and private, which do not confer degrees. 
Each school will be represented by ten marksmen, 
who will shoot ten shots standing and ten shots prone 
at 50ft. on a gallery range, using ,22cal. rifles and the 
N. R. A. target, which has a yjin. bullseye. 
The National Rifle Association appoints judges to 
supervise the firing of each team, and the targets used 
in the match are sent out from the office of the N.R.A. 
There are now over sixty schools having N. R. A. 
rifle clubs. All of these will probably enter teams, so 
that a most interesting competition is looked for. Last 
year thirty schools entered the competition. 
One hundred and thirty entries have been received to 
date for the trials to determine the personnel of the 
Unitd States team in the international small bore rifle 
match, which will be shot with Great Britain and Aus¬ 
tralia the week ending April 2. Twenty-three cities have 
so far been designated as places where the trials are to 
be held under the supervision of judges appointed by the 
N. R. A. These trials will be held during the week 
March 7-12. The cities designated are: Birmingham, 
Ala.; Boston, Mass.; Bridgeport, Conn.; Buffalo, N. Y.; 
Butte, Mont.; Denver, Colo.; Elizabeth, N. J.; Los An¬ 
geles, Cal.; Manchester, N. H.; New Haven, Conn.; 
New York City; Philadelphia, Pa.; Pittsburg, Pa.; Port¬ 
land, Me.; Rochester, N. Y.; Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.; 
Schenectady, N. Y.; Seattle Wash.; Staunton, Va.; St. 
Louis, Mo.; St. Paul, Minn.; Warren, Pa., and Wash¬ 
ington, D. C. 
The conditions of the match and also the trials call 
for each man firing 50 shots at 75ft., using ,22cal. rifle on 
which the telescope may be used if desired. 
An interesting situation has developed in the Inter¬ 
collegiate League matches which are now going on. 
The defeat of the Columbia College team makes a 
triple tie between that college and Washington State 
College of Washington, and the University of Iowa,
