Two score selected riflemen, representing units from every
section of the state except Eastern Oregon, are competing
for a place on the team. Old timers and tyros are equally
represented and if scores on home ranges can be used as
a basis for prophesy it will be anybody's match until the
final stage is fired. The team will be selected after firing
has been completed on the 16th, and the team personnel
will remain at Clackamas for team practice until the
evening of the 19th, leaving the following day for Camp
Perry. Lt. Col. Fred M. West, 162d Infantry, veteran
