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. .

FRIDAY, JULY 25-PENNSYLVANIA DAY The CMTC students began early this morning to adjust army packs and equipment to start out for the manoeuvre which was to continue from 12:00 noon today until tomorrow afternoon. This was their first opportunity to march out as soldiers going forth to war. There was great suspense and secrecy, no one knew where the enemy was located. There were two groups designated, Reds and Blues. The most novel experience of the CMTC studentswas the pitching of their pup tents and manoeuvering during the night. Both combatants kept closing in on each other and there was little sleep for anyone during the night. The cavalry did most excellent service in capturing many of the out-posts. Company BU 12th Infantry was captured as early as 7:00 p. m. The boys thought it was great sport to hide behind trees, bushes and self-constructed trenches. it-+3 PnNNsY1.vAN1A VISITORS Page Om' llurzclfwd Thirty-jim' . . . . . . . . . - VN C M I C V-YN-V A VV- . 1. vtvltvivimv-VN.vivwmv-vmv.v.v.v.v.v.v.v Time, 4 min. 53 4-5 sec.
