In the past four years, the Don riflemen have compiled an outstanding record of 158 wins and 27 losses, including 8 competitive championships. Heading the team for the 1951-1952 season was All-American marksman Tony Sherman who, teamed with veterans Charles Cooper, George Michael, Gino Zepponi, John Frings, Armando Flocchini, James Graziani, Gardner Jacobs, Dave Divini and Len Puccinelli, completed another successful season, including top honors for the fourth year in the Sixth Army's Intercollegiate indoor rifle match. Other laurels garnered included the Southwest Invitational rille championship. The Don sharpshooters whipped a select field of twenty college rifle teams from the Western United States in the El Paso, Texas, meet, collecting an impressive 7,506 points out of a possible 8,000.

Top standing in the San Francisco Rifle Association League was another notable team victory for the Dons, who were ably coached by bemedaled Captain Arthur Meranaki, competently assisted by Sergeant Tom Maloney (TheDon).
