.S V .12 'Map' H W w-xl Z MILITARY MAP PROBLEM PINALS BY CAPTAIN ROBERT B. MCRAB, H.s.c: HE twenty-eighth of March, 1933, found live Military Map Problem Teams repre- senting each of the regiments at Franklin Administration Building anticipating the Hnal game, a competition for the General Anton Stephan Trophy. The final problem as composed by Colonel Craigie was: A Company Acting as Advance Guard for a Battalion. The problem developed into what Colonel Craigie aptly named The Battle of White's Run, for the blue forces of which we were the Advance Guard which had marched to White's Run near the Baltimore Turnpike at which place an enemy battalion was lying in wait for us upon a hill overlooking our position and fired devastatingly into our ranks. The ensuing developments of the com- mander of the Team Were the deciding factors in the decision rendered by Major William H. Hobson, P. M. S. '55 T. at Georgetown Uni- versity who judged the competition. The Judge- ment of the competition was based on six prin- ciples of which tactical dispositions, accuracy in plotting positions of both the enemy and our own troops, the estimate of the situation, and the orders given by the six members composing the team were of the greatest importance. The teams were given 45 minutes, of which 10 minutes were for plotting and 25 minutes for presentation of the first situation. The sec- ond situation required ten minutes and was given by the captain alone. When the five teams had thus completed their allotted time we took our seates to listen to the decision. After what seemed hours of sus- pense the winner was announced as follows: Company A-McKinley. ORDNANCE EQUIPMENT E CContinued from page 32D World War and in every International Rifle Competition. The Corps is, in consequence. at the present time signally favored in its equipment. During the history of the organization. snbers and swords of the types here illustrated have been used by its commissioned and non-commissioned Oflicers. The Old Model United States Army non-commissioned Oilicers Sword CFig. 6j now composes a part of the ordnance of the Cadet First Sergeants of the line. The U. S. A. Old Model Officers Sword CFig. 75 is now used by the Cadet Sergeants Major. Up until 1931 the Cadet Com- missioned Oliicers used the Old U. S. Experimental Cavalry Sabers. fFig. 81. These sabers, because of their excessive weight. were exceedingly cumbersome. and were replaced by the New Model U. S. Infantry Officers Saber. which are being used at the present time by all Cadet Field and Staff Officers. One Hundred Eighteen

Those men are en- deavoring to show the results of time spent in a body-straightening and building activity, with scholastic attainment as a pre-requisite for pro- motion.
