Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 103, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 September 1909 — Sergeant Gangloff High Man In Company M Rifle Match. [ARTICLE]

Sergeant Gangloff High Man In Company M Rifle Match.

Sergeant John B. Gangloff, of Company M, was the high man in the three days’ rifle practice that was concluded at the Parr range Sunday evening. By agreement before the match was completed the eight high men are to repeat the course, the winner taking the medal sent out by the state rifle association. The scores of the eight highest men are: Sergeant Gangloff 278; Sergeant Garland 261; Lieutenant Woodworth 255; Captain Healey 247; Private Harrison Timmons 231; Private Don Warren 218; Private William C. Steel 215; Private Grover Wood 191. Twenty-eight men in the company shot all or part of the course and the improved marksmanship was very gratifying. Last year the company had but one sharpshooter and six marksmen, while this year there will he at least three experts, six or eight sharpshooters and from ten to twenty mar&smen. The camp was a very enjoyable one, and the fried chicken Sunday dinner was enjoyed by the forty who portook of it. The picked team from the company that played the Parr ball team, ended up second best, getting the short end of a 14 to 8 score, in a very laughable contest. The Parr people treated the soldiers nicely, and showed them many courtesies that will be long remembered.
