In the first round George West
defeated Sweeny in a very close
and exciting game. Ganado led

petition; we also made a good
showing in the pistol matches.
The rifle matches—we might as
well face it—were pretty much
dominated by Russia.
Why? Pete Brown, arms ex-
pert for Sports Afield magazine,
explains it this way. Competi-
tive shooting jn the U. S. has
been predominately prone. Our
scooters are selected in time-
limited tryouts; they have little
chance to practice as a team or
in the international type of
shooting. The funds are not
available for selecting and prop-
erly training a team.
Russia has been preparing for
this match for the last couple
of years. It has encouraged local
target shooting and training.
Reportedly it selected 500 of the
best shots and they received ex-
tensive training. Those chosen
Dewey Short, former chair-
man of the House Armed
Forces Committee, recently said
"There is no reason why every
.young man when reporting for
active duty for service should
not have previously been trained
in the use,of the rifle. Their
forefathers were and these boys
are no different type or breed.”
But few other members of Con-
gress agreed with him and the
appropriation was almost cut
out altogether!
General Michaelis, discussing
training of his troops, said “We
put too much stress on informa-
tion and education and not
enough on rifle markemanship
. . . these kids have all the guts
in the world and I can count on
them to fight. But when they
started out they couldn’t shoot.
They didn’t kn,ow the weapons.
