Lensbury and Britannic House
(representing Great Britain) v.
American Midwest Indoor
Championship Team
(representing the United States) from London and Chicago with commentaries by Thomas Woodrooffe and Ken Ellington
This interesting broadcast is the result of a challenge issued by the Society of Miniature Rifle Clubs to the National Rifle Association of America for the British champion team to shoot a transatlantic match against a champion American team.
The teams will consist of six men, and they will fire 10 shots each at 50 yards, using iron sights and standard targets. There will be a pause after five shots have been fired to check targets and give listeners an official estimate of the scores. The Lensbury and Britannic House team have had their range at Shell-Mex House specially lengthened from 25 yards to 50 yards for the occasion. Highest possible score for each team is 600 points. Ken Elling ton is one of the Columbia Broadcasting System's ace commentators.
