Shooting with remarkable consistency
ar.d the precision of trained marksmen,
the British Columbia team won the an
nual International rifle tournament
: yesterday. Brilliant shooting marked
their work during the second and final
day of the contest. Aiming at 1000
yards, with the weather at Clackamas
range none too favorable, the team
made an average of 43, each of the 12
' men firing 50 times.
Keeping in line with performances
- of the opening day, Oregon held on to
second honors, never being endangered
by Washington. The latter team took
third place, leaving .the cellar cham
pionship to Idaho.
Following are the scores for the five
ranges 200, 500, 600, 800 and 1000
yards each team shooting 3000 times,
and the averages:

With an 80-polnt lead to begin the
day with. Canada's sharpshooters, num.
berlng among them some of the crack
shots of the Dominion, felt certain that
their margin of safety could not be
successfully attacked by Oregon-s Na
tional Guard. They went along at a
steady, even gait. Increasing their lead
gradually as the day advanced. While
no phenomenal scores were recorded,
the team as a whole- shot wonderfully
well.
At 1000 yards. Oregon's leaders felt
confident that they would at least cut
down their opponents' leeway, if not
overtake them altogether. . It was at
this range that the Oregon men showed
superiority during the preliminaries,
and the patient practice they indulged
in during the week. Form, however,
failed to run true; instead of diminish
ing the Canucks' lead, they lost out.
The Canadians gained even more points
during the fray, making their grand
total stand out 91 points ahead of Ore
gon. Visitors Better Equipped.
In explaining Oregon's defeat by such
a wide margin. Lieutenant Endlcott, U.
S. A., the coach, attributed the dlffer-
ence to the sights used on the rifles.
He declared that It was not a question
of superiority, man for man. but that
the visiting aggregation was better
equipped to make high scores. He made
no effort to detract from the credit due
the Canadians, but stoutly .maintained
that had the Beavers been using their
opponents' rifles, the scores would have
hnrri a marked difference.
Following the termination of the
tournament, fciendly discussion con
cerning the respective merits of the
rifles used arose among the contestants.'
This resulted In a picked team of eight
men, four from Oregon, ana two eacn
from Washington and Idaho, meeting in
match with eight of the Canadians at
800 yards. The Americans used their
opponents' rifles and the Canadians
used the American guns. While it was
a friendly match, and the spirit of eon
quest was lacking, the Americans
-roved that they would have stood a
better show had all conditions been
equal. Tbe picked team won by a
handv score.
icano weakened as the range of
vision Increased. When Friday's work
was over, Washington had a lead of
only six points over the Gem State
shooters. The final figures show that
Washington topped Idaho by 30 points.
Individual Hoaors High.
Sergeant Welford, B. C; Sergeant
White, Oregon: Sergeant Iverson,

off individual honors for the tourna
men. It will be noticed that the ser

rest; there was high glee In this rank
whn the shooting came to a close.

an Interesting phase of the contest as
It waged range by range. British Co
lumbia maintained the high average
throughout; both Oregon and British
Columbia dropped heavily on the 600
yard range, indicating that - this was
proportionately the hardest of the lot;
the team averages fluctuated as the
distance enlarged. The following fig

carried off the beautiful silver trophy
donated by the. State of Washington
and the medals put up by Oregon.

that the tournament next year will be
held In British Columbia, probably at
Vancouver. There was some talk ot
changing the conditions governing the
contest The suggestion of Major Hart
McHarg, coach of the victorious team,
that the shorter ranges be eliminated
and competition confined to 600, 800
and' 1000 yards was received with ap
proval. He further advised that the
number of shots at each range be re
duced from 600 to 180. It is his plan
to put the Northwest tournament on a

Dorsey McKlnney, a clever halfback,
suffered a broken collarbone and will
be out for a month or more.
For the first few minutes of the
game it looked like an even tussle,
neither team being able to penetrate
the other's offense. After about five
minutes Spokane took the ball from
their own 20-yard line by a series of
line plunges and one short forward
pass and a penalty on Portland for
offside play, straight down the field.
Smith tore his way over the line for
the touchdown. Rouse kicked goal.
The second score was the direct re
sult of a Spokane forward pass. Rouse
to Abrams, the North High captain
covering 36 yards in both the pass and
the run and giving North High a first
down on Portland's nine-yard line.
Tub first score in the second half
came easily, Spokane getting tbe ball
on Portland's 40-yard line on a fum
ble and rapidly driving it over the
line by a series of line plays.
For 20 minutes from this point hon
ors were fairly even, if anything fa

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
To Owners of Player Pianos
' '" . "
Chiekering & Sons beg to announce the introduction of new music rolls for
player-pianos which are complete records of artists' playing not rolls in
which the tempo only is recorded or which contain suggestions as to obtaining
an artist's interpretation, but rolls by the use of which one may hear a repeti
tion of the performance of the artist who made the record as if he were actually
present. They are known as v
Rythmodik Record Music Rolls
- It.is not often, in these days, that anything of such extraordinary interest
is brought to public notice. Hitherto, even under the hands of the most
skilled operator, with the ordinary roll the player -piano has, because of a
certain mechanical quality inseparable from it, failed to satisfy the real
music-lover. These rolls are epoch-making. They do not require a specially
prepared instrument, but can be used on any player-piano. They make it
possible to hear the greatest artists on one's own piano.
RYTHMODIK BECORDS should not be confused with other so-called
hand-plaved rolls. RYTHMODIK RECORDS are handled by the prominent
music houses of America, and in Oregon by EILERS MUSIC HOUSE (The
Nation's Largest), Eilers Building, Alder Street at Seventh.
