David Meredith, 26: the National Service Rifle (.30 cal.) championship of the National Rifle and Pistol Matches, scoring 796 points (out of a possible 800) and hitting the center bull's-eye 79 times in 160 shots. Another winner at the month-long matches: WAC Lieut. Margaret Thompson, who outshot 2,000 male competitors with a .30-cal. rifle to win the Navy Cup, firing a perfect score...
