Results received yesterday from four postal matches tired January 14 show that the Varsity rifle team beat Dartmouth and Worcester Polytechnic Institute, losing only to Stanford. Out of a perfect 1500, the Crimson shot 1365, Stanford 1369, Dartmouth 1359, and Polytech 1327.
The Dartmouth victory is Harvard's first in the Northern-Group of the New England College Rifle League, as against two losses to MIT and Norwich. Other teams in the league are Bowdoin, Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
The varsity score of 1365 is the highest shot by a Crimson squad since the beginning of last season. Ten men were entered in the meet, with only the five highest scorers counting. In the January 14 meet the highest men were Royal Elfast, Hale Knight, William Lindamood, Glen Reem, and Paul Shuttleworth.
The team's next match is a shoulder-to-shoulder event to be held at the University of New Hampshire on February 11. A postal match with Cornel is also scheduled for that date.
