Washington, D. C., Dec. 3.—To Our Schoolboy Rifle 
Clubs, re Interscholastic League for 1911: We invite the 
attention of all our affiliated school clubs to the or¬ 
ganization of a league among the clubs for a series of 
interclub matches this winter. 
All those clubs that are in good standing — dues paid for 
the current year—are eligible to enter. The entrance tee 
per team will be $2.50. This entrance fee for the league 
series is separate and distinct from the club’s annual 
dues. 
All entries must be in by Dec. 19, and must be ac¬ 
companied by the entrance fee of $2.50 to be accepted. 
The schedule of the league matches will be made up on 
the basis of paid entries in this office on the morning 
of Dec. 19, and the matches will start immediately after 
the Christmas holidays. 
Unless there are so many entries that the matches would 
extend to late in the spring, each club will shoot one 
match with every other club in the league, and the 1911 
trophy will be awarded on the basis of the number of 
total wins. in case of tie the teams will shoot off. 
In case there are more than fifteen teams entered, the 
teams will shoot a certain number of matches and the 
prizes awarded on a percentage basis, or there will be 
sectional sub-leagues organized, and the winning team 
of each league shoot off for the championship. 
In addition to the trophy the members of the winning 
team will receive silver medals, and the second team 
bronze medals. 
The conditions to govern the matches will be the 
same as those of the Astor cup match, and as the cham¬ 
pionship match will immediately follow the close of the 
League series, participation in the latter will be fine 
practice for the premier event. 
All the firing in the league series must be done under 
the direct supervision of a representative of the National 
Rifle Association—this representative must not be a 
student member of the club. If there has not already 
been such a representative appointed for your club, it 
is suggested that you recommend some one when send¬ 
ing in your entry. 
Those clubs that expect to qualify more members for 
the 1910 Junior Marksman’s decorations and shoot for the 
N. R. A. members’ medal, are cautioned that only four 
more weeks are left in which to do so. 
All those clubs that haven’t sent in their report of new 
officers and list of members should do so at once. 
Albert S. Jones, Sec’y. 
Rifle shooting in the public and private preparatory 
schools of the United States is a new thing, and though 
only started three years ago by the National Rifle Asso¬ 
ciation of America, the boys of the country have taken 
hold with a great deal of vim. The only drawback to 
popular success is the opposition met from school 
boards in the different cities. Although the short ex¬ 
perience which has been had in this work has demon¬ 
strated that in those cities where the work has been 
introduced, the school boards have been completely won 
over to this sport. 
There is a bill now pending in Congress which pro¬ 
vides for the free issue of arms and ammunition to 
schoolboy clubs. It has already passed the Senate, and 
will probably be reported favorably from the Committee 
on Military Affairs of the House within the next few 
weeks, in which case it is liable to become a law at 
the present session of Congress. This tardy recognition 
by the Government of the importance of this work will 
bring this country in line with all other great nations. 
France spends over $100,000 a year in teaching rifle 
instruction in the primary schools of that country. 
Australia has 40,000 schoolboys receiving rifle shooting
