  "Lieut. H. d. Kelly, U. S. A.,

       "Commandant, State University,

                "Lexington, Ky.

 "Dear Sir:

           'jWithin the next three weeks the organization of the Intercollegiate Indoor

 Rifle Shooting League for 1911 will be perfected.   This league will run during the

 months of Tanuary, February and March. Each college shooting one match a week, and

 every college firing one match with every other college in the league.

      "'The conditions are ten men to a team, each man firing ten shots standing and

 ten shots prone at fifty feet, using a .22 caliber rifle.

      "The college winning the league series will receive the championship plaque and

members of the team silver medals; the second team will receive bronze medals.

      "TAs soon as the league series are finishes (finished),the Inter-collegiate

Championship Match for 1911 will be shot, the conditions being the same as the league

shooting.

      "'Your college may enter a team for the league series for ten dollars, or if you

prefer to organize a rifle club in your institution, the entrance fee would be five

dollars.   The cost of the affiliation of a rifle club with one year's dues would be

five dollars. A great deal of publicity will be given to these matches, a story being

issued to the press associations weekly.

     "As you know, this work is all carried on under the supervision of the National

Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice, of which the Assistant Secretary of Wlar is

President.

     "I beg to remain,

                        "Yours respectfully,

                           (Signed) Albert S. Jones,
                                          Secretary."

     The Acting President stated that as it would involve a considerable expenditure

of money, he could not recommend that Lieut. Kelly's request be complied with at this
