February 17, 1922: New Rifle Club For Westminster

New Rifle Club For Westminster

Democratic Advocate, February 17, 1922.

On February 10th, several men of Westminster met in Lewis Hall, at the (
McDaniel College – then known as Western Maryland College,) and formed the Westminster Rifle Club, and elected officers as follows: Captain E. G. Smith, president; S. S. Wilson, vice-president; J. Albert Mitten, secretary; H. L. Hobby, treasurer, and J. Carberry Boyle, executive officer.

The purpose of this organization is to learn how to shoot the rifle and revolver and it will be a part of the National Rifle Association.

For the present the indoor range at the College will be used, but the range at the Armory is better and application will be made with the proper authorities for the use of it.

Next Monday night a shooting match will be held with the idea of picking a team to beat the College team. Members are to meet at the Red Front Store at 7:45 and transportation will be furnished to the College range. Members be ready.
