Miniature Rifles
A hundred yards with a .22 rifle is a difficult proposition at any time, but in the opinion of the judges the standard for this contest, which temporarily replaces the Haslam Shield competition, was unsatisfactory. Some good individual scores were put up and the teams were fairly evenly matched, CUC winning the I.C.I. Shield by a narrow margin from OU. J. W. King (CUC) made the highest individual average of 91.3, closely followed by Barrio Jones (OU) with 90. King also scored the highest in the rapid, while the honours for application were shared between Ross Valentine (OU) and B. J. Caldwell (AUC).
