We much regret to learn that Will
L. Guthrie, after having passed all pre-
vious examinations with credit, failed at
West Point last Friday on the physical
test. 1t was decided that the action Of

cision was given in regard to his alter

think that the change from high to n
low altitude must have had something to
do with the medical examination and
that after u few months east both boys
would readily pass the severe physical
tests applied at West Point.
