Received Bronze Medal

Last year Duckworth received
the Virginia High Collegiate Award
and won a Bronze Medal in the
National Intercollegiate Championships,
placing in the country's top
dozen college shooters. The Team
also racked up a successful season
and won a Sectional Match held
here last spring.

About 70 Reservists, including
four from Charlottesville, competed
in the pistol match. The match
consisted of a 300-point course of
Slow, Timed, and Rapid fire at 75
and 150 feet, fired with standard
unmodified Army .45-caliber semiautomatic
pistols. In his first Army
match, the Cavalier Team Captain
staged an upset over veteran military
shooters with a winning total of
238 points, a good score for the
as-issued G.I. handgun.
