Babich was a member of the Pershing Rifles as well as the Rifle Team. 

The most exclusive club on campus had another successful season this year. The USF Rifle Team, a very exclusive organization, is composed of a few select individuals who are interested in target shooting. They compete on the collegiate level, meeting such teams as California, Stanford, and Santa Clara. The squad is also entered in the City League competition. The varsity fires in the "B" section and the freshmen in the "E" section.

In past years USF has had one of the top Rifle Teams in the country. In fact it placed third in collegiate competition in the nation last year. Like the basketball team, the rifle squad fell upon hard times this year and while still successful, it has not attained previous high standards. This year's squad is led by president and captain John Kresier. Other members of the squad include Tim Brophy, Willis Casey, Richard Flocchini, Al Pegueros and Ed Pryal. John Elmer, a part time student, won All-American Honors for the Dons (TheDon).
