C. pistol teams enjoyed an exceptional^ successful season this year. The 22-calibre varsity pistolers had three matches, and emerged with the victory in each instance. The 45-calibre marksmen engaged in seven contests, and they, too, came away with a fair share of victories.The 22-calibre team started the season off in the winter quarter with a shoot against Ohio State University. This turned out to be the closest match of the entire schedule, Utah winning by the score of 1250 to 1231. The victory was followed by one over Wisconsin with a 1338 to 1263TEAMwin. Alabama Poly tech was effectively subdued by the score of 1322 to 1223. The Utah Freshman team was downed by the Missouri Freshmen 1163 to 1194, but the Utah Frosh then turned around and humbled Alabama Polytech 1151 to 891.The 45-calibre varsity team opened its schedule the second week of the spring quarter with a tough shoot against Missouri "U". This was followed by matches with Purdue University, Culver Military Academy, Ohio State "U", and Colorado Aggies. They also had local matches with the Salt Lake City police, Salt Lake rifle club, and a team from Fort Douglas.SUNRISE BATTALIONThe Sunrise Battalion was started four years ago with a few members as a side activity of the R. O. T. C. Since its organization it has increased in popularity and membership until this year there were more applications for membership than could be handled.This Battery met every Saturday at 10:00 a. m. during the autumn and spring quarters for mounted gun drill and general riding practice. This year so many students wished to join in these Saturdaymorning drills that with the limited supply of horses on hand they could not all be accommodated. As a result two subdivisions or branches were formed. These classes met every Tuesday and Friday during the fall and spring quarters at 8:00 a. m.Members of the Sunrise Battery composed the volunteer parade squad which represented the R. O. T. C. unit of the University of Utah in all holiday and celebration parades.171 |
