Sergeant Garland in the Money in President’s Match.

An interesting letter from Sergeant Jerry Garland, who is attending the national rifle matches at Camp Perry, Ohio, states that Capt. Black, Sergeant Jarrett and himself were inside the money in the President’s match. Garland made 88 at the skirmish, 46 at 600, 43 ai surprise Are and 62 out of a possible 75 at 1000 yards. His surprise fire was the poorest he had made this year, but the shooting conditions were not the best. Captain Van Auken had been well up until the 1000 yards range was reached when he fell to 48 out of possible 75 and ended outside. Snyder and Goodwin were only one or two points outside the money. The third regiment team got eighth place in the regimental team match. The team was composed of Black, Van Auken, Deal, Snyder, Goodwin and Garland. Van Auken and Deal were the low men, but all did very good shooting. The total was 797 out of a possible 800. Sergeant Garland will be in the free rifle team, which Is a 200-metre match at standing, kneeling and prone positions without the use of the strap. An effort will be made to keep the Indiana team for the international matches.
