bhp'- THE SENTINEL f i i RTHIQETIG The athletic program of the CMTC Battalion at Camp lVlcCoy covered the following branches of sport: baseball, kittenbalhvolley- ball, track, boxing, swimming, and horseshoe pitching. Teams were organized in each battery, the necessary equipment was furnished by the Camp, and after a day or two of practice schedules were drawn for a series of competitive games. Baseball proved to be the most interesting sport, both batteries having large, well organized teams. Battery D , with a good pitch- ing staff and strong defensive team won the Battalion championship. Kittenball, always a good camp game, furnished competition for the men who failed to make the baseball squad, each platoon having its team. These teams played a round-robin schedule, the Second Platoon of Battery E winning all of its games. Facilities for track and field squads were very limited but this did not dampen the spirits of the men who were interested. Each battery had its group of track and field stars. and on the afternoon of the Battalion Meet, they turned out well trained in their special events. The following were held: 50 yard dashg I00 yard dash, 220 yard dash, 440 yard dash, 880 yard run, one mile run, running high jump, and running broad jump. Battery li with a well balanced team, won the meet by the score of 38-33. - 1 1 '-5, ' 'f-3 r 7 Awruun V. Swunuunu Capt., MH: I .-l-lies. Athletic Oflicer Swimming was a popular sport, especially during the hot spell. Trucks were provided to transport the men to the nearest river fan old-time swimming holej, and non-coms from the Reg- ular Army looked out for the safety of the swimmers. On Visitors, Day a gymkana was arranged between the two batteries for the entertainment of the manv friends of the CMTC students who were in camp. Thie events and the winners were as follows: Stake driving contest, won by Battery li , mounted tug-of-war, won by Battery EH, shoe race, won by Battery DH: centipede race, a drawg and mounted wrestling, won by Battery EH, i The athletic program furnished wholesome recre- ation for both the competitors and the men on the side-lines, and helped to make the entire- CMTC training schedule more interesting to the men during their month in camp.
