The Savage Arms Company presented a rifle to each of the six schools whose team made the highest score in this match.
For the purpose of impressing upon the boys and the public that those who could make a good score on the subtarget gun machine could shoot accurately in the field, the league arranged for a match between teams of five from all high schools and colleges, to be held at Creedmoor, July 26, 1906, to be shot 100 yards standing; 400 yards lying, five shots at each distance. It also arranged for two days' previous practice by the teams and also by all other boys who had won its marksman's badge, and paid the transportation and ammunition for the participants. It provided Captain Corwin as instructor, who was assisted by a number of volunteers from the National Guard. About 150 boys in all availed themselves of this opportunity. None of the boys had ever previously fired a cartridge. Some of them were consequently a little nervous, in addition to being embarrassed in shooting in the presence of so many military men. After a few shots, however, they got over their nervousness.
In the first practice the average score was about 60 out of 100. The second score averaged 80.
Mr. J. A. Haskell, president of the Du Pont Powder Company, and a member of the national board, induced that company to present for annual competition in the match, a handsome bronze trophy.
Mr. Simon Uhlmann presented a bronze figure of a rifleman, as second annual prize.
The following is the score of the competitors in this match; highest possible score 250:
| De Witt Clinton High School (Manhattan) | 220 |
| Boys' High School (Brooklyn) | 215 |
| St. John's Military School (Manlius, N.Y.) | 211 |
| Commercial High School (Brooklyn) | 201 |
| Curtis High School (Staten Island) | 201 |
| St. John's Second Team | 183 |
| Manual Training High School (Brooklyn) | 181 |
| Stuyvesant High School (Manhattan) | 174 |
The winning team averaged 44 out of a possible 50, although the day was a difficult one for shooting.
The School of Applied Science of Columbia University asked to be allowed to enter a team in this match, and offered to allow the high school boys a handicap of 25 points. This was objected to on the ground that they were grown men, who had opportunities for practice which were out of the reach of the boys, and who were not in the same class. They were, however, allowed to shoot under protest for the purpose of seeing how their scores would compare with those of the boys.
The score which they made was 218, which is less than that of the De Witt Clinton team, which could have beaten them without any handicap.
