Reorganized Shooters' New Schedule Extends Through March

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Under the lead of its president, Parkman D. Howe '37, the Harvard Rifle Club last night pried the lid off its 1935 season. A postal shoot with Natrona High School of Caspar, Wyoming, formed the first match.

Although permanently revived since 1927, the Club has this year for the first time been organized with regular practice sessions and a definite schedule of outside matches. The matches, which come intermittently from now until the Yale tilt on March 2, are mostly of the order called postal, wherein each side shoots separately and later compare their scores by mail.

Among those who shot against Natrona, in addition to Howe, were Malcolm S. N. Watts '37, Secretary of the Club, and George A. Matteson, Jr. '36. In the spring the members plan to move from the Naval Science range in Memorial Hall out into the field, substituting .30 for their present .22 caliber weapons.
