The athletic program for bunding;
10 1 i.s along the outline set by the
ramp physical director, in the syllabus
of the southeastern department. J
The main head is recreative sports,
on for litis being the work of Mr.
i'. Foster of the Fosdick commission.
)iy recreative sport we mean games of
all character that tend to develop and
upbuild a man. These games will he
played at such time as the men can
have for the sport, namely after drill
or detail or during play period.
The program before the regimental I
officer now is the simplest one that!
can be devised and will be of no trou- I
ble to the officers of the companies.
The first step i.s the appointment of a i
non-commissioned officer from each |
company to meet once a week with j
the physical director of the building
and lay the program for the week's
work out in such a way that a4l companies
will take part in some particular
event before that week has passed
This eentralizes tTTe work and
with the report to the regimental officer
each week as to the progress
Viade he can see how the benefits are
At the meeting of this committee
of non-commissioned officers we take
up the games that each company will .
follow. The game we are working on j
at present is volley ball, played by j
squads list until each squad has set-]
tied the company championship, then
the company team of six to ten men i.s
picked and the inter-company league I
in progress. These games between I
: quads can be played in company
street or any place agreed on by j
teams. In this way every man learns]
HThis committee th?n takes up other J
work ?baseball, track, swimming, in !
fart every game that is of use to the j
men from the right standpoint. These j
men organize the men of the com-1
puny in any sport that they want and
give assistant in all programs that

MPflr'flrwi evenings on the grounds in front of

There's excltrnent galore In the Q.
M. C. since the formation of the basej
ball team. Under the able managej
bent of Lieut. North, an dwith Sergenut
French as captain, the undertaking
must surely turn out successfully.
The symptoms of success have
already made their appearance, as was
I shown in the three games played and
I won. The Hrst game played was with
jour neighbors, the ordnance corps.
jThis initial game spelt defeat for our
friends of the O. C. We had on
I mathemetician at the fame, therefore
track of the score was lost. The next
two games played were with the M. M.
teams, and were won easily.
Private Fred Rogers almost got
himself into an awful tangle the other
day.' It happened thusly: Sergeant
Nesbit, by mistake (may'be) happened
to step on Fred's number 12 double
E. E. 's, which caused Little Fred
to exclaim: "Fro the love of Pat's
cow, keep off my pedal cxtermity. Nesbit,
taking this to be threat of some
ort, grabbed a mallet. Rirght them
and there Bill showed his Irish, and
wanted to paint the maps of Ireland
on Fred's face, and if Sergeant Johnson
had not interceded there would
have been flowers on Fred's chest, and
he wouldn't be able to smell them.
Our beloved mess sergeant is getting
accustomed to his nam "Hoover,"
which wus given him by Private Klein,
