To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

The following extract from a letter from E. L. Florance, Jr., '19, formerly Co. B. Harvard R. O. T. C., at present Co. 2 Ogiethorpe adds I think, a little to the large credit established by the former organization, and may be of interest to his fellows:

"In record firing, I made an average of 44 1-4 points in 50 for four ranges, only 3-16 points less than the Battalion champion (on average only), a Georgia State Ex-Champion--leading the Company by 5 points, in a total of 177 out of 200 possible.

"Yesterday, on the last day at Catoosa, the five best men of each company were made into teams for a battalion competition--we shot 10 shots at 300 yds. slow fire, and my score 46 in 50 led by 1 point, which makes me top in the battalion. My score in shots was:

4-5-5-5-4-4-5-5-5-4:--5 being bulls-eye.

The second and third companies tied on team averages, and to settle the score, each man shot one shot--we tied a second time, I shooting another 5. A second shot to each man gave us (Co.2) the lead by one point, 20 to 19. So our Company led the hike home, a thing that our Captain desired more than anything else. In 57 shots that I fired in all, I made only one 3,--all the rest, 4 and 5." EUSTACE L. FLORANCE.
