RIFLE TEAM DOES BETTER SHOOTING Huskers Defeat Oregon Aggie Team But Lose to Univer sity of Iowa. The Nebraska rifle team continued its upward climb in intercollegiate rifle shooting last week. The team score for the week was 8,568, an in crease of 92 over the week before, but still 60 points less than was made last year in the second week of fir ing. The Oregon Aggies were defeated in the first week of shooting, the fin al score being 3,439 to' Nebraska's 3,476. Iowa University was reported winner earlier in the week. Tbe Uni versity of Delaware was the other school on the schedule. The eastern ers used a different type of target and as a result there was no basis of comparison. D. P. Roberts, shooting 97 prone, 94 sitting, 91 kneeling, and 87 stand ing, for a total score of 369, was high man for the week. R. M. Currier was second high with three points less than Roberts. Mark Fair again led in the prone position with a score of 99, but his standing and kneeling shooting lowered his total score. The colleges on the schedule last week were Oklahoma A. and M., Uni versity of Oregon, and Syracuse Uni versity. The report from Oklahoma should arrive Monday or Tuesday, but the returns from the other two schools will probably not arrive un til toward the end of the week. Corps area shooting is going on in the gallery along with the intercol legiate firing.

Major Hester stated that there were three general conditions at the Nebraska university which were re sponsible for the development and standing of the unit. "In the first place the work of the officers under the direction of Major Erickson has been a potent factor in the develop ment. The backing given the depart ment of military science by the Chan cellor, the Dean, and the faculty has been a wonderful help.

DELTA TAU DELTA IN CLOSE SECOND PLACE Pi Kappa Alpha continued its lead Friday and Saturday in the inter fraternity track meet, and won the third annual mid-winter contest after leading every day from the tart. A grand total of 18,199 poins was accumulated by Pi Kappa Alpha. Delta Tau Delta, consistent second place team during the meet, pressed the winners hard up to the last day and cut their lead down to a bare 123. For a while, when Davenport of the Delt Tau Delta team was mak ing high marks in event after event, it looked as if Pi Kappa Alpha might be pushed out of first place. 18,076 was the final Delta Tau Delta score. Sigma Phi Epsilon held the field below the two leaders. They were quite a way down the line in points though. Their score of 15,232 was almost three thousand below Delta Tau Delta's. Alpha Sigma Phi pushed forward in the last two days from seventh place to fourth. They were only 627 points below Sigma Phi Epsilon when the meet ended. The individual high point man of the meet was Davenport of Delta Tau Delta who made 42S6 points for his fraternity. Wyatt of Kappa Sigma comes a close second with 4224 to his credit. Four records established last year were broken in the meet this year and two others were equalled. Avard Mandary, Alpha Tau Omega, broke the broad jump record when he jumped 21:8 1-2, Stephens, his running mate, equalled the former record. Three men, Avard Mandary, Alpha Tau Omega, Bequith and Davenport of Delta Tau Delta, each broke the meet record in the 50-yard dash. Davenport of Delta Tau Delta and Moore' of Pi Kappa Alpha lowered the half mile record one and four-tenths second. Davenport, Wyatt, Kappa Sigma, and Scherrick, Sigma Phi Epsilon, broke the meet record in the 440 yard dash, and topped the mark set as standard for the penthalon system of grading. Each made over 1000 points. Wyatt, Kappa Sigma, equalled last year's low hurdle and high hurdle records. In the 660-yard dash, a new race in the meet, time close to that set as the standard for grading was made by several men. The closest was by Davenport of Delta Tau Delta, who came within one-fifth of a sec ond. Fetterman of Alpha Sigma Phi was also close, as was Moore of Pi Kappa Alpha. Pi Kappa Alpha, winners of the meet, made over 1100 points more than was made by Alpha Tau Omega, winners last year. Delta Tau Delta in second place made about 4000 more than Sigma Phi Epsilon made last year in second place. Sigma rhi Epsilon, third place winners. made more in that position this year than they did in second place last year.
