PALMER RIFLEMEN TOP ANCHORAGE
FOR SECOND WEEK, IN 40-SH0T MATCH
Again Palmer leads Anchorage
riflemen, by one match, in their
winter-long battle of the indoor
ranges. A one-match advantage
is the best that either team has
been able to do in the winter
shooting series. Two weeks ago
Anchorage held that position, and
today Palmer is on top by that
slirn margin.
Palmer won its new status by
taking another match, a 40-round
affair in the prone position, last
Friday night. It was the second
prone match, in two consecutive
weeks, that the Palmer men have
snatched from Anchorage. Here
tofore this has been considered
Anchorage’s strongest position.
Individual scores in last week’s
match were as follows:
PALMER—1995
Rip Harris . 400
Vern Donaldson . 400
Jim Carroll . 399
Ken Westenbarger . 398
Bill Smith . 398
ANCHORAGE—1982
Scott Donaldson . 398
Bill Sherwood . 397
Buck Harris. 396
Jack Wessman . 396
Burr Collins. 395
extremely close.
While in Anchorage, Mr. Crites
expects to complete final arrange
ments for a combined track and
baseball field day in Palmer next
week. Tentative plans are that
Anchorage trackmen and baseball
players will arrive in Palmer next
Saturday morning.
Track events would be run off
during the forenoon and early
afternoon hours. A baseball game
will begin as soon as the track
meet is finished.
Mr. Crites promised a definite
announcement of meet events,
and participants’ names, upon
his return from Anchorage.
