WITH UNITED STATES TROOPS IN NEW GUINEA, Jan. 14 (Delayed)(AP) - Sergeant Harold Pointer of Bozeman, Mont., a counter-sniper on Sanananda Point, had nineteen Japanese to his credit up to Monday night after less than two weeks of action in that theatre. He waits until he hears an enemy sniper's shot. Hunting training enablews him to gauge the sniper's location. He creeps close and picks off his man.
I can think of one significant disadvantage to using this technique.
