A baseball league was established and games were played every day with the exception of Saturdays and Sundays. Three great athletic events took place during the month, the of the RCTC attending campg the next for the members of the CNITCQ and finally a dual meet between the ROTC and CMTC.

Regular hours have been allotted to the several organizations for use of the swimming pool and candidates have an oppor- tunity each day to take advantage of this pool, and approximately 1000 to 1500 men use the pool each day. There was a swimming instructor detailed and also life guards to prevent the occurrence of accidents.
