at 5 f W W rf ATHLETICS IN COMPANY C it LESTER J. SEIBERT S Fort Eustis- O-D -Fort Eustis Wfhen we mention athletics we immediately think of Company Cv. Cn the diamond on the court, on the track and in the ring, our men gained a large share of honors. The baseball team, composed of Tubman CCaptainj,Catman,Stewart,Snyder, Kunkle, Barbour, Highlands,Hovis,Seibert, and Via, was considered the best collection of players in the camp. The failure of the boys to report early in the season caused us to lose the first two games. Thereafter we were undefeated. 'We succeeded in winning five straight games, defeating G and MHA' Companies which until then were undefeated. Much of our success was due to the untiring efforts of our capable coach, Corporal C. L. Umberger, who was always on the field directing the assault. Q Speedball, a new sport that is gaining great favor, was introduced at Fort Eustis this year. Company HCA' carried off high honors and won all of the games played. It was a new experience to most of the men, but they quickly adapted themselves to the rules and Company C came out ahead once more. The team deserves much credit for the we,re out to win spiritv which prevailed through the season. Company Cn again stepped to the front in the swimming meet which was held July 28. It succeeded in leading all the companies during the meet,but was nosed out of first place in the last minute. The honors went to B Company and Company C held the second position. Garrett and Lippy deserve honorable mention for their excellent work. Boxing was a sport in which but few of the men of Company CD took part. It seemed that the boys from the Keystone State were slow when it came to leather pushing. Palumbo and Tarbet were two good men who had plenty of stuff and upheld the honor of Company HC . In the track meet held July 31, Company C carried off third place honors. Jimmy Appel succeeded in pushing Feehly, the champion, to his limit in the half mile. He was in the lead until the last 25 yards when Feehly sprinted and won by a margin of a few feet. Stewart, Golden, Long, IfVaggoner, I-Ieneneberger, and Seibert were also worthy of mention. On the whole, Company C was by far the best company in the regiment. In ath- letics, on the drill field and everywhere you went you heard praises and congratulations for the best organization in the camp. The boys from Pennsylvania sure did put it over this year and we hope to do it all the time. A RETRosPEoT CIXRL F. LONG There are two sides to every detail of life! Candidates of Company HC are well aware of this. YVitness the camp life at Fort Eustis. NVho can forget that clenching of fists, that gritting of teeth, that suffering silent fury, prompted by Hirst call,'7 Hdrill call, and other wearing routine formations. On the other hand, comic elements slip in to endow the monotony with mirth. Imagine the hastily attired lads appearing sleepily at reveille, the unexpected reactions to order, the trips, athletics, individuals. Most of us were bewildered by the apparent intricacy of military procedure, and especially by the formality of military courtesy. Several corporals of the Regulars were given premature commissions by the boys who endeavored to cultivate a military bearing. lVIess proved the great developer of our personalities. The Ritz Carlton atmosphere of the mess hall inspired everyone with a high hat feeling. Drill proved the determination of Company HC . Gold bricking was not in evidence. YVe learned to grin and bear it. The whirl of activity enveloped us, we added to our strength with the result that health, strength, and brotherhood were combined in a memorable thirty days, vacation. ' ' Pagf Fifiy-om'
