Pnirwxu ffiflllllliill, 549111, Infnnlry Publix-ity Ulliecr Publicity work at a CMTC has rarely been done as effectively as at Camp Holliday, 1928, under the I direction of Captain C. Primm, lnf-Res. Long before the camp was open he secured the equipment, office space, supplies and personnel requisite not only for a daily bulletin to all candidates, but also for frequent news releases to all important papers in the counties around Fort Sheridan and for the preparation of copy', for the Sl1iNTINhiIf'. He made a fine record. ' Almost equal credit goes to C. lfikmark, the offi- cial Fort Sheridan photographer, who appears in civilian clothes at the front row center of the ap- pended photograph. He was nothing less than inde- fatigable in securing excellent pictures of all important events during the month of training and he was generous almost to a fault in contributing copies for official use in many ways to the advantage of Camp Holliday. ' The work of company representatives on the ed- itorial staff is sufficiently indicated on preceding pages.

T H E S E N T I N E L f I? f THE TRACK MEET ' The loo-yard dash, the first event, was won by YVheeler, Company DH, with Porzell, Company C , i ,I , last year's champion, a close second. Kunitz, Com- , xflfb' pany D , finished third. I - Caldwell, Troop A , had little difficulty in win- ' Y, ning the mile run over the soft cinder-path in good time. . -,. ' Sademan, Company B , copped his specialty in the ,lf - S80 amid fast competition. In the 440, Huleson, Com- 765, , ' 4' pany A , left cinder-dust in the optics of Luthy, if-' kg-1,7 Troop A , and Kay, Company EM, in the slow fu, tempo of 57, just for variety.h Pgrzell, Company C , .,..-M ste ed in the 220, covering t c istance in 22 3-IO sec. , T pigfhe inter-company 88C-yard relay afforded by far the biggest tremble of the afternoon. Company DH speedsters upset the dope bucket by winning. Carson, Company EH, led the individual scorers by getting first in the high jump and javelin, a second in the discus, and thirds in the shot put and the hop, step and jump, collecting a total of fifteen points. The hopes of C Company were low until Lefty Donihi took both the hop, step and jump and broad jump events. The latter was won by a splendid leap of 20 feet, IO inches. These two firsts enabled CH Company to taste victory. TUG-OF-WAR, COMPANY Gi, JAMES B. MILES Upon being notified that I would act as coach of the tug-of-war team for Company GH, 6th Inf., CMTC, I immediately called for all members of Company GH that wanted to try for the team. ' Having a very short time before our contest against Company FH, I had no op- portunity to try all the students who reported and was forced to select the men according to my own judgment. The twelve men who were finally selected had little trouble in defeating Company HF . After a short rest we were matched with Company Cv and in them we found a much stronger team and had considerable trouble in pulling them in the allotted time, which was two minutes, but we finally succeeded. Our victory was the result of the strength and ability of our anchor man, Student Parr. Our next opponent was Company A',,the heaviest team of the afternoon, and they gave us our hardest pull, but the brilliant head-work of our team in holding fast while A Company used all their strength A gave us our third victory of the afternoon. i We were in the field at the scheduled gs R ' , time that evening for the finals and our Qt j spirits were for a moment somewhat dampened 4-R xl 3 ,' f by the apparent strength of Headquarters Q29 'D , .
