Smith, the new Commander of the Third Corps Area, accompanied by Colonel Frank S. Cocheu, Chief of Staff, visited the Camp today inspect- ing all the tests and various activities of the Camp. The aquatic meet this afternoon to determine the swimming and diving champion- ships of the CNTTC proved a real pleasure to the many spectators gathered about the pool. Today history was made when all the CMTC students playing band instruments, numbering eighty-six, and all the regular band united in one large band to give their first concert. For the first time they marched and counter-marched together and after two hours' training they played for Guard hlount. The band progressed very nicely and did their part in a very creditable fashion. The competing athletes had their final Workouts during the afternoon. The song and cheer-leaders were practicing their men this evening so as to be able to cheer their favorites on to victory tomorrow. The final CNITC dance was well attended tonight. Memo No. 71.

THURSDAY, JULY 24 After the noon mess all the boys in Camp gathered in the great stadium when a dual athletic contest began at 1:00 o'clockg large flags and banners, bunting and all sorts of regiment, battalion and company colors were Hying. The consolidated band marched into the stadium with all the participants marching around the field. Major Crawford, a Regular Army man, well suited for the post as Athletic Ofiicer, had command of all the events: running, hurdling, jumping, pole-vaulting, throwing of discus, putting the shot, 100 yard dash, throwing the javelin and all sorts of athletic stunts. It was an exciting afternoon. Major Crawford had the sports so well arranged that when the results of all events except the shot put, javelin and relay, were recorded the CMTC students were leading the ROTC in scoring, but the ROTC won 15 points in the two field events and tied the meet. Lawrence Judd, CMTC of Allegheny County, again- won the high individual point, scoring honors with 20 points. He entered in all the field events and the 120 yard high hurdles, out of which he captured 2 firsts, 2 seconds and managed to tie for first place in the pole vault. Both Judd, CMTC, and Loth, ROTC, were deadlocked in the pole vault at the 11 foot mark. They split the points, each getting 4. Harper took third honors for the CMTC. Judd ran an excellent race in the high hurdles, running neck to neck with Morris of the ROTC all the way up the stretch until the last jump, Judd forged ahead and broke the tape just ahead of his rival. This was one of the feature events of the entire program. There were many other interesting features. The spectators were given the final thrill in the relay when the CMTC quartet won only after a desperate struggle. At no time during the entire race were the runners more than two yards apart. At the start the Officers stayed out in front, but Loth for the Citizens took the lead away from Jack- son and won by about six feet. That event was the most exciting of the entire meet and certainly was a thrilling finish to a meet marked by close competition all the way through. The score for the dual meet was 59 points for the ROTC and 54 points for the CMTC. After the affair the prizes were awarded the athletes by Brigadier General Harold B. Fiske who made a short address of congratulation. ' Page Om' Ilundrrd Thirty-lllrre' . . . . . . - - . . . . . - - - . . ml E M I C l.v.v . . .1-1.7.1-1-VNU. . vNI.v-V.v.v.v.v.1.Y-V.V.v.v.v. .
