District National Guard Amateur Athletic Union, at & to be announced later, it was at brigade headquarters. Invitations u!:lv;“beenm sent wtagy Maj. Gen. Anton commanding the‘ 29th National g\lll'd Division, to the members of his staff attached the National Guard of Maryland and Virginia to attend an assembly of the division staff at the armory here, at 9 o'clock, on the morning of April 27, for the purpose of working out & war game. ‘This is one’ot the periodical mmml assemblies for urposes, being held there, in R.k:gmnnd and in Plans are being formulated by Capt. J. C. Jensen, ordance department, in charge of rifie shooting training in the local Guard, for the formation of the rifle team to represent the Guard in various competitions during the coming Summer. It was announced at the brigade headquarters that he has called a meeting of all members of last year's team and aspirants for this year's team at the rifie range at Camp Simms, Congress Heights, D. C., Sunda mediately, for the Guard will have its annual contest at Annapolis with the midshipmen's team from the Naval Academy, which will be held early in May. The local experts hope to repeat thefr defeat of the midshipmen again this year. Last year was the first time in many years that they were able to overcome the crack shots of the Acad- emy, it was said at the headquarters of the local militia. © It was_ announced that ‘the star- gauged rifles which will be used by the team in practice for defending the Hilton Cup, which it captured at the national matches at Camp Perry, Ohio, last year, probably will be received at the range this week and will be im- mediately put in service. These rifles are only issued by the War Depart- ment on certain oceasions. However, Capt. Jensen has recom- mended to the headquarters that efforts be made to have the War Department allow the teams to keep the star-gauged rifles which are issued to them each year at the national matches until the year's matches. when they can be turned in for new ones. It was pointed out that under the present system the team members have to turn in the rifles they use at the national matches upon | their completion. The present system, it was said, prevents the team from getting much valuable practice during the early Spring, while waiting for the special rifles to arrive from the War Department. Only one organization in the local Guard succeeded in reaching 100 per cent in attendance last week, and this is one of the consistent organizations which is usually found in the top classification of superior. It is the Medical Department Detachment of the 260th Coast Artlllery, a unit so small in personal numbers that if one man stays away it knocks off about 12 per cent. The only other unit in the superior classification also is a Coast Artillery outfit, the Headquarters De- DAILY CROSS-WORD PUZZLE 65. Prefix denoting relation 0 alr, 67.
