By PETER P. CARNEY
Editor National Sports Syndicate.
When you see pages in the photo
gravure sections of the Metropolitan
newspapers devoted to girls'
team it is only natural that
should arrive at the conclusion
rifle shooting as a sport will
take Its place, and rightfully,
with baseball, trap-shooting, golf
kindred pastimes.
There was a time when the rifle
could be found in almost every
American home, and in those days
nearly every one could shoot, and
witli some degree of accuracy, but as
the cities built up and became con
gested rifle shooting went into the
discard in many places and became
more or less of a lost art with our
people. We found tihis out only
too well when we entered the fits.;
that Germany began, discovering tha
less than 10 per cent of our boys
could shoot and of this number not
6 per cent could shoot with any do
gree of accuracy.
iSince then we havfe been told by
many agencies that we should learn
to shoot a rifle because it is our duty,
that we owe It to ourselves and our
country, and this thought has been
vigorously prosecuted, but rifle shoot
ing will take a firmer hold on the
population when the people are
shown what a wonderful sport it is
■It Is as a sport that rifle shooting
excels, and this thought is being
spread by the National Rifle As
sociation, and the Winchester Junior
Rifle Corps and the Intercollegiate
Rifle Association. These associa
tions have their own respective fields
and they are getting results; the N.
R. A. with the adult clubs and in
dividuals; the W. .1. R. C. with the
■school boys and girls, and the Inter
collegiate association with the col
legians.
Many Girls’ Rifle Teams
Possibly you are not aware of it
but it is a fact nevertheless that in
no less than 30 colleges there are
girls’ rifle teams, and in no less than
'CO colleges are there varsity rifle
teams. Some of the colleges whare
girls have formed rifle teams are
Drexel Institute, Philadelphia; Ohio
State; Michigan Aggies, Michigan;
University of Maine, Iregon Aggies,
Illinois, Kentucky. Depauk, Ripon,
Oakland A- and M.; Vermont, Oouis
iana State, Delaware College, Syra
cuse, Tennessee, South Dakota, Miss
cuse, North western, Maryland, Geor
gla, Washington and Texas.
Of this number Drexel has pos
sibly the best team. These girls have
shot 18 matches in three years and
won every match. They averaged
496 out of a possible 500 in the six
matches of 1922 and this past season
averaged a shade better than 491 for
six matches, scoring 2.984 points out
<jf a possible 3,000. Perfect scores
of 500 were registered in the last
two matches against Vermont and
the Michigan Aggies, 493 in another
imatoh with Vermont, 496 against Ok
lahoma, 495 with Ripon and 493
against Depauw. To become a mem
ber of the Drexel team it is neces
sary for a girl to average 98 or be:

Adverse Report Indicated in
Memorial Condemning
Nelson Game Measure.
The House Committee on Fisher-1
Iies, Fish, Game and Agriculture, to
day reported adversely on the Foster
memorial condemning the Nelson
- game bill, recommending r that it do
I not pac;. Mr. Foster did not concur
in the report.
Ail adverse report 0:1 Foster’s

; game bill, introduced in the last C011
,gress by Delegate Sutherland, will
i be made by ..he House Committee

i less the majority of the members >f
that committee changes its minds
■overnight. A hearing was held yes
I terda.v afternoon on the memorial,
I Delegate Sutherland. C. T. Gardner
;and E. I*. Walker, of the Biological
Survey, appearing and speaking in
favor of the Nelson bill
The Delegate said it must bn re
alized that Eastern game conserva
tion clubs, like the Boone and Crock
ett and Camp Fire clubs, dictate game
legislation not only for Alaska but
'all ever the United States. Whal .
: they say goes and their opposition
i cannot bo ignored, he said. The
iNelscn bill, he said, is bused on a
| measure introduced by him when he
| first went to Washington, in which
; he sought to establish a Fish Com
mission for Alaska. The game com
| mission, said the Delegate, in the
Nelson bill is composed of Alaskans
who with tiie Secretary of Agricul
ture would control the game. He
I] admitted he, himself, is in favor of
I control by the Territorial Legislature,
but said the Nelson hill is the bast
| that can be obtained and he believed .
j ft would work out satisfactorily. «'

l |and passed recently by the Legisla-ji
(j tare, as follows:
'! “We have been taught to believe,!

“The creation of fish reserves In j
Alaska is for the avowed purpose of i.
'suspending the laws enacted by Con ;
gress and to substitute others made!
i by a .bureau. We regard this as a |
.vicious infraction of the fundamen-|
tal law of the land. '
“This language,” said Mr. Foster,;
I “voices my objections completely. The;
1 Nelson game bill is fundamentally
' wrong and is exactly the tiling Alas
j kans have been fighting for years.”
I Briefly, he added, the bill would wipe
.lout all the laws heretofore passed by
t! Congress relating .to Alaska game|
! matters and give the Secretary of.
I Agriculture power to substitute 111]

b commission was purely of the rubber ]
si stamp variety which was empowered
e j to do nothing except make recom-.
i-: mendations to the Secretary of Agrl

s as he saw fit. “The point that I am;
making against the Nelson game bill

Delegate Sutherland admitted that
Mr. Po.-nyr's argument was sound,
but said the bill is the best that
can be got.
Others Defend Bill
Both Mr. Gardner and Mr. Wall; >r
dofended the bill. The former said
deer in Southeastern Alaska have ti 1-•
most been destroyed under the pro ;
ant system and now lace extinction.
Unless something is done, and at ;
once, he urged, these animals an 1
I other game will disappear entirely.
| He said as a member of the Ketchi
j kan game club several months ago, |
he had attended a meeting at which i
] the bill had been thoroughly dis
] cussed and examined and approve I.
i Mr. Walker said he believed the
j Biological Survey, acting as an in 1
termcdlary between Alaska and East
I ern game conservationists, would 1j ■
itible to bring the latter over to Al
I teskans’ way of seeing many things
|and that the Nelson blil would really
I go ,far toward giving Alaskans con-[
| trol of their game resources.
Committee Disfavors Memorial
With the exception of Mr. Foster,!
lit was apparent that the committee-1
linen. Grant, chairman; ltaelson, Cal
lahan and Price, were opposed to the-'
Foster memorial. Mr. Price said he I
was not in accord with tljo prin
ciples of the bill but did not like t >
condemn it when no alternative wn
offered and when .the Deler.ii^ was
convinced it to be tlie best riieas
