With the first of the matches to be shot off on Jan. 14 and realizing that riflery is the only uni- versity sport in which inter-collegiate competition is permitted, the team as- pirants are working hard to earn places on the varsity team. It is ex- pected that th new rifle range in tihe new field house at Palmer field will be ready in time for the match shoots, according to Captain Bricker of the Reserve Officers Training Corps who is in charge of the team and the coin- ing contests. In the competition last year Maryland university came out on top to win the championship. Michigan won hut 12 out of 28 matches in which it con- peted during the meet. The poor showing was attributed to the fact that poor practise facilities were ol,- tainable and because of the loss of much good material from the regular team by graduation. The previous year the Michigan team won practi- cally 90 per cent of the shoots in which it engaged and it is expecte; that the team this ya il h s t of the new range and a large turn- out at practises will come back to the form shown at that time. The new rangeat the Palmer field house will compare secondto none in the country and should aid con; siderably in the advancement towad accuracy in marksmanship for the in- ter-collegiate shoots, according to Captain Bricker. The backstop of the range is built of one-half inch steel plates. The two plates will be set at angles of 45 degrees to direct the shot bullets to the sand boxes. There will be an upper stop and a lower stop, with the firing point elevated about one foot from the floor, Speial l v ighting fixtures are arranged, the sand box and gym mats and additional features will provide an excellent shooting range for women, the best in the country, said Captain Bricker. "With such equipment as ours and with such a range I am hoping that every woman who knows anything about handling a rifle and who is a good shot will turn out for the team. We want to have an abundance of material from which to choose those who will shoot the match contests." The matches will be shot by a team of ten members. The targets of th flive highest scorers are to be counted as qualifying scores and the sumtof these five will be sent in for the team record. The beginning rifle class has advanced rapidly and much ma-. terial is expected to be found here. More than 12 other enthusiasts have turned out to try for team positions. The first four contest matches are to be shot from the prone position, the next three are scheduled as two position matches, prone and sitting postures to be used, while Athe last three shoots will also be from the prone. The shooting is scheduled to take place on January 14. February 11, 18, 25, March 10, 17, 24. 31, Ap 28, and the final meet will take plaJ May 5. The challenges received to date and which have been accepted by the lo- cal team include the following: Pur- due, Nevada, Illinois, Wisconsin, Cin- cinnati, Michigan State, Missouri, George Washington University, Ver- mont, Montana, West Virginia, Co' College, Nebraska, Syracuse, Univer- sity of Vermont and State Agricul- ture College, Maryland, 1926 champ.. ionship holders.

Are Under Same Governing Body All dormitories, sororities and lea- gue houses are under rules formu- lated by the Board of Representatives and the Board of Directors of the Women's league. The Board of Re- presentatives is composed of the presidents of all league houses, soror- ities, and dormitories. Every woman on the campus is automatically a member of the Women's league. The- oretically that makes the women self- governing. Any student may have a voice in'advising, forming, or rescind- ing a new rule. The individual woman is met in house meeting. Her ideas are carried to the meeting of the Board of Representatives by her house president who in turn embodies them in the rules made by the Board.
