'Qu px Fort Eustis- O-D -Fort Eustis HISTORY OF COMPANY B B. MILLIGAN This year Company BH started out on the right foot with 192 men all eager to. bring laurels and honor to their beloved HB . The processing made the men feel rather uncomfortable, but that was soon over and the first day had begun. We found ourselves in well-aired rooms, cooled and sometimes heated by the golf course that runs in front of the Company street. After receiving all equipment and checking civilian clothes, we left for the many points of interest in Fort Eustis, then returned to chow and to bed for a much-needed rest. Five days of hard, steady drill took the k.inks out of the lines and we were awarded rifles. More drill came and then our first review. The second week was a good one for B , as the regimental parade for the best company was won twice. The third week brought to us the best squad, best Blue candidate, and best platoon. During this week we made some very good scores on the rifle practice gallery. The swim- ming meet was won by B by a margin of four points over the nearest competitor. The fourth week saw the fellows on the zoo yard rifie range shooting for record. Many qualified for the marksman and sharpshooter medals. Then the regiment hiked to York- town and back. This event closes the CMTC camp every summer. We then collected our personal belongings, and after the last night, which turned into a riot, we were on our way home from a very enjoyable thirty days at Fort Eustis. The Company expresses here its gratitude to that fine staff of ofiicers who did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable. We hope to have them back next year. ATHLETICS I-N COMPANY B JAS. I. IQYLE, WM. E. WOLFE When we mention athletics we immediately think of Company B , the leaders in practically all sports in Fort Eustis for this year's CMTC period. The boys from Mary- land and the District of Columbia stepped forth in all their glory, upholding the honor of Company 'fB . Company BH can look back with pride when they think of our national sport-base- ball. For the baseball team., even if it did not cop the championship, can find solace in the fact that it won the first three games played to place first in the battalion. Our Com- pany had wonderful material, but time was lacking to develop championship form. The Little World Series was very thrilling. ln neither game could the winner be picked until the last man was out, so close was the competition. Our one alibi can be attributed to the injury sustained by O. L. Jeter, captain and coach. Jeter sprained his ankle during the initial championship game with Company H , thereby eliminating him from tbe second game. The team. consisted of the following players: Grant, Mathews, C. A. Faith, Smith, Scarborough, T. Corner, Wm. Wolfe, E. Naughton, H. Kimmey, Kedy, Pepper, J. Kyle, West, Seitz, N. Wooley, Cook, Edwards and J. Timmons. This year's swimming meet was but a repetition of the previous years, where BH nosed Cv to finish first and win the championship. Here are the men who did their share to put Company BH over the top Hin the aquatic circle : C. A. Faith, winner of the 40 yard breast stroke, and F. Blake, who took first place in the 200 yard and second in the 80 yard free style. The meet was clinched when B tied with CH for first place Page F orty-:even -.---a-- - --'--- ' ...... .. .. ..v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.n
