THE SENTINEL ' f f 'ZA W' M fff - : , Z r 5 A The athletic training provided at this camp was varied to meet the particular needs and interests of all the men as far as possible. It was at once both as intensive and as broad in scope as the time, officials, instructors, coaches, equipment and facilities per- mitted. lnter-company championships were deter- mined by round-robinl' schedules of Seventy-tWO games each in baseball, indoor baseball, basketball, volleyball, and tug-of-war and by elimination tourna- ments in track, swimming, boxing, wrestling, tennis, golf and fencing. Inter-State and individual or camp open championships were determined by a single game, an elimination tournament or an open meet in the same sports. Coaches, supervisors and officials were selected in each sport by the Camp Athletic Oflicer and were all experienced: Corp. I-lixon, wre.vfl1'ng, Corp. Paul, b0xi'n.g,' Sgt. Choinski, fe1Lc1'1zg,' Sgt. Castellanor, tug- of-warg Sgt. Grimmer, .9 CC'i77l77ll'1Ig,' Sgt. Butler, Lieut. CU.IT1IT1lIlgS, Cilplillll ApplCgI'Z1ll, .fO0lkCllZ, lflellt.

All inter-State championships went to lllinois, except that lVisconsin won in base- ball and tug-of-war. lnter-Company championships went as follows: basketball to Com- pany 6'A , indoor baseball and volleyball to Company B , baseball to Company Cn and tug-of-war to Company HG . ' ALL-STAR CAMP BASEBALL TEAM HfXRRY T. MOORE, JR. A new feature was introduced this year when an all-star team was selected from among the baseball material of the entire camp and a home and homev series played with the Great Lakes Naval Training Station. Lieutenant Cole, Company C , was selected as baseball officer. A better choice could not have been made, for what Lieuten- ant Cole doesn't know about the national pastime could be written on a mosquito's monocle. Don Bardsliaw, captain of C Company's champion ball nine, was elected captain, and this writer was stuck with the job of manager and coach. The first encounter we lost by an II to S count, but we produced a quintet of necessary runs in the next tilt with the sailors, and spilled them with a I3 to II tune. . Although the CMTC troops were suffering from aching brogans after an all-morning hike, they turned out in quantities to jam the grandstand at Great Lakes. The score switched several times, but a fatal loss of general ability, morale and coolness on the part of our men enabled the sailors to trot over six tallies in the last of the eighth, just after Orr, peppy second baseman, had tied things up with a beautiful homer.

THE SENTINEL by Jones in the first of the ninth gave the doughboys three more markers, but they still fell three short of winning. The sailors came down on the last day of camp. XVe drew quite a crowd, most of them clad in fatigues 4, ' n' or civies. Once again the score jimmied back and 4 forth. The sailors somehow had us 5 to O in the K 'J ,?'! ' x third, when we punched through for a quartet of tallies. 2 They retaliated in the fourth by chalking up three z f' I more, but we took the lead in the fifth by annexing -, XX 1 X five, making the score 9 to 8.

In the latter section of thatifortune-kissed frame, some effective swatting by the local boys produced three runs, giving Klemke a I2 to II lead. He was .invincible after that. Besides being outstanding in the inter-company struggles, he had dominated the illinois- Wisconsin affray, and during-the league season he had twirled a no-hit game against An Com an while itchin the latter half of a double header.
