AfcSPORTS Wfc » HEWS D C H S Rifle Team To Open Season Monday

The "Hot Shots,” the Decatur Catholic high school rifle chib, will open their new season Monray, with a practice session for the senior members returning from last year’s squad. The Hot Shots, sponsored by the Decatur Fraternal Order of Police, had a very successful season last year, and prospects are high for another good year, as the team opens practice Monday. Decatur Mayor Donald F. Gage, is the team’s Instructor, and is assisted by Mark D. Colchin, whose son, Dave, heads this year’s list of riflemen, owning the distinguished rifleman medal. Club Officers Dave Colchin serves as the president of the club, while Joe Schurger is vice president, Jim Ford, secretary - treasurer, and Fred Schurger holds the range officer position The two Schurgers, Ford, and Joe Geimer, each holds an expert rifleman medal, to go along with Colchin’s distinguished rifleman award, which is the highest possible honor to attain. The quartet of Colchin, Geimer, Fred Schurger, and Kenny Geimer, copped first place in the unclassified group at the 1961 NBA junior outdoor position regional tournament 'June 4. The regional was held at the Chief WA-KA-DE range in Bristol, Ind., and included teams from Indiana, Michigan, and Illinois. While each team member received a bronze medal for the win in the regional meet, high honors went to Joe Geimer who received a bronze medal for first place in the standing position, a first place medal on the kneeling position, a second place medal for the sitting position, and the pewter coaster for the aggregate match. Nine Medals Dave Colchin copped bronze medals for first place in sitting, and second place in prone position, giving the team a total of nine bronze medals and the pewter coaster for their efforts in the regional. Gage said the team is looking forward to another successful year, as he has lost only four senior members. The members of the rifle club 'are' divided into two groups, senior and junior. A larger junior membership turnout

Is expected this fall, and classes for the junior riflemen will begin within the next two weeks. In order to attain medals such as the distinguished rifleman, expert rifleman, etc., each team member has to shoot so many targets, a certain number of times, and the targets must be turned into the NRA with the instructor’s signature on the targets. At Least 5,000 Gage estimated that a boy would have to shoot about 5,000 shots, on the average, to complete the course and earn the distinguished rifleman medal, such as Colchin has done If each boy were to make a perfect score on every target, without making one bad shot, it would still take 1,100 shots to earn the distinguished award. So, as Gage explained, to earn such an award takes much time and practice at the art of rifle shooting. The local police department is also to be commended, stated Gage, as they help furnish the ammunition for the rifle club. The DCM, director of civilian marksmanship, furnishes a certain amount of ammo, but this doesn’t last an entire season, and the police then take over and furnish the ammunition to finish out the year. The Hot Shots will once again this season, do their shooting in the Mies Recreation lanes on Second street, downstairs from the bowling alleys. Gold, Purple Win Junior High Gomes A good-sized crowd braved the new cold front Thursday night to witness two good games of football played by the junior high bqys of the two Decatur schools. In the first game, the Gold beat the Whites by a 13-6 score, and the Purple shut out the Reds in the second encounter. 19-0. The Purple will play the Red team again Tuesday, with the starting time to be announced later. On the following day, Wednesday, these two teams, composed mainly, .of will combine and begin drills in preparation for the New Haven junior high game Sept. 28.

I Collins, a 33-year-old player I who hails from Baltimore and plays out of Miami, demonstrated he has recovered from the wrist injury which’put him in a sixweek slump earlier in the year. Big Bill needed only 29 putts > over the 6,328-yard Broadmoor Golf Club course. His only bogey was on the 7th hole — the same . hole where Barber shot his peri feet 237-yard beeline to grab the ' 810.000 bonus, 88,600 of which will i come out of the pockets of Lloyds ' of London. The other 81,400 is the premium paid by the sponsoring , Seattle Town and Country Club. ' Lanky Al Balding, Toronto, Ont., established the early pace of the first round with a 66, soon equalled by Jacky Cupit of Longview, Tex., and Dave Hill, a 25-year-old Denver pro who took top cash in his home town’s 825,000 open last week. 1 i
