Morris Fisher Will Compete Again for Olympic Laurels Won Twice. Marine Credits Col. MeDou- gal With Teaching Him Fine Points of Game. Medals enough “to =ink a battle- ship,” as his Marine Corps buddies say, have been won for crack marks- manship by Gunnery Sergt. Morris Fisher of 1415 T street southeast, the world’s rifie ace. By his keen eve and perfect co-ordination, this Marine Corps sergeant secured first place as the world's best individual rifle shot at the Olympic games at Antwerp in 1920, and again secured the world laurels at the Olympic games at Rheims, France, in 1924, The Olympic games will be held at Am. sterdam in July and August of this year, and Sergt. Fisher has his eye on the tryout matches that will he held at Quantico for the Marines in May, for places on the international | team. The two gold plaques he won at the Olympic games adorn Serst. Fisher's home, but there are medals aplenty to keep them company. In both Olympic matches he was on the teams that captured first place. Sergt. Fisher, who is now on duty at the Navy Yard gate, credits Col. Douglas C. McDougal. stationed at Marine Corps headquarters at the present time. with teaching him the fine points of the shooting game. The sergeant joined the Marine Corps in 1911 and says he had never fired a shot before that. He learned to shoot because it was his duty. In 1912, he failed to qualify for a shoot- ing team, but by consistent practice he had so perfected himself that by 1916 he shot on the Marine Corps team and won first place. His first “big league” shoot was as an entry at Camp Perry, Ohio, matches In 1913. | Rivalry Developing. Lieut. Col. Lauren S. Willis, U. S, M. C. Sergt.

In 1919 Sergt. Fisher won second place in the distinguished class at Le Mans, France, and that same vear shot on the Marine Corps team at Caldwell, N. He won first place in the ¢a Girt, N. J. matches in 1919 for making 25 continuous Julls' eves at 500 yards in a 16-inch {ircle. He failed to get a place on the A. E. F. | team, but later shot on the Marine !team that conquered the A. E. F. team. In 1921 at Lyon. France, Fisher represented the United State on the team which won the Interna- | tional shobting match. In 1922 at Milan, Italy, he represented the United States in the international shooting match. A year later in the Camp Perry, Ohio, matches, he won the world champlonship as a professional and made five world records, winning the world prone, standing and kneel- ing firing positions champlonships. He secured second place in the standing contest. He won the national indi- sergeant's Sergt. | STAR. WASHINGTO D. C. JANUARY 8. 1928—-PART 1. vidual champlonship and the unlimit wod champlonship.
