This is an annual rifle competition held between the constituent colleges of IC. The morning was spent shooting full-bore rifles at three hundred yards at targets with a V-bull of three and three quarter inches in diameter. By the end of this, C&G had taken an early lead, closely followed by RCS and RSM.

The afternoon saw shooting at five-hundred yards.

He then proceeded to score 34.4 out of 35.7. He was said to be disappointed at dropping one but this performance still guaranteed C&G victory thanks also to sterling efforts from Rupert Ingham and Lawrence von Gould. The exact placing were 1st C&G 185.8; 2nd RSM 173.0; 3rd RCS 171.4.
