Fort Eustis- O-D -Fort Eustis title holder, won-second place in the breast-stroke, and VVhitey' Bender of boxing fame won the fancy dlve competition in a style greatly contrasting to his boxing ability. ff f I if i c c 1 BASEBALL Company A baseball team certainly had tough luck this year. This was due to lack of practice before the regular games were played. Albert R. Gibson was elected captain on Sunday and the first game was scheduled for Monday, so he had only a hazy idea of who could play ball and who couldn't. Our team put up a good fight but lost the first game to Company Bn by the close score of 6-5. On YVednesday we received a de- feat from C Company by the same score. Captain Gibson pitched both games in fine fashion, but lost on account of the poor fielding of his team in each contest. The third, and last game of the league was forfeited to Company HAH by Di, Company. These were the only league games, and so we were out of luckw, even though we won every other game we played. The team developed wonderfully and won a number of games from various companies. Among the victims were Company HC of the 52nd Artillery, and Company CU ofthe CMTC. The whole team put up a very good fight for the honor of good old Company HA . Gibson, Bender, and Morris played the best brand of ball. The team comprised Albert R. Gibson CCaptainj, Robert G. Dennis, and Kenneth C. Carr, pitchersg VVilliam Dismer, I-B3 Hamilton Brendergost, 2-B3 Russel R. Bender, SSg Charles N. Russel, 3-B, Robert Morris, Bernard H. Keener, Calvin Gareis, VVilliam F. Ore, Fielders, and Arthur R. Cooper, Catcher. CCBULL77 Graham McNam.ee came down to Company HAH on the 27th of July so that he could be present to broadcast the famous fight between ':Speedy Speiden and 'flckyu Vogts. From direct observation taken from the ringside during the 20 rounds it was noticed that Graham was worked up to a fever heat andthe mike fairly jumped as he let the world know about the terrible left of Speedy's and that man-killing right hook of Icky's as each in its turn came home. . The 21st round started with both fighters standing toe to toe and exchanging blow for blow. Speedy,' finally landed a punch that made Icky change off and spar awhile to clear his head. Wonderful footwork came into evidence at this point, both of the lighters displaying the finer points that are rarely seen except in championship bouts. The round ended by both men being helped to their corners. The last round was, in the opinion of the old boxers present, the fastest of the fight. From the bell, both fighters went at it furiously. The field in which they were boxing was slowed up for a distance of at least 50 yards by the spectators in an effort to keep up to the fighters. Right and lefts were flying around so fast that a ringside spectator could not distinguish the man behind the punch. Speedy,' had to retreat from a furious assault of Icky,s . The round had twenty seconds to go when the referee was hit by two low ones coming in opposite directions and the famous fight ended with a draw. McNamce declared that it was one of the fastest, most scientific fights he had ever had the good for- tune to witness. The second and third platoons have discovered how to use the fire buckets that are placed in each barracks for repelling attacks of outsiders. The third platoon also had the excellent .service of having their clothes washed without removing them. Hercafter, instead of hanging the buckets on the nails where we found them, the said nails will be used for the hanging of coats, and the buckets will be placed on either side of the door for in- stant use.
